ABS Sidewall Construction: Protective material along the edges absorbs terrain chatter, enhances edge hold when engaged in turns, and guards the wood core from impacts.
Super SAP Bio-Resin: Eco-friendly bio-based resin reduces carbon footprint while maintaining high-tensile bonding strength in cold conditions.
