Hot Rods.Industry Leading
Pop and Response
Invented by Rome, HotRods are thin rods milled into our boards’ cores starting from the insert pack and extending out towards the nose or tail. Designed to provide next level explosive pop, power and response.
Responsive boards ride better, plain and simple. We use HotRods to create responsive, lively boards so riders can ollie higher, land deeper and have quicker reactions to whatever they’re riding. Each board model has a different HotRod configuration designed to create a dynamic flex with explosive pop and response.
HOTRODS ADD MORE POP TO YOUR RIDE
Load.
When you set-up to ollie or make a quick adjustment, the energy is loaded directly under your boot.
Transfer.
As the movement begins, the HotRods react and transfer the loaded energy throughout the board.
Pop.
The HotRods spread the energy throughout the board, effectively boosting the motion to create next level pop, power and responsiveness. Higher ollies.
Quicker turns. Hyper-responsive riding. HotRods.
Hot Rods.Next Level
Pop and Response
HotRods are used in a variety of configurations to enhance our boards pop and responsiveness. Each configuration compliments the board’s intended riding style and shape by enhancing the responsiveness where needed.
CARBON HOTROD
Super responsive and powerfully snappy
DIRECTIONAL SINGLE
All-mountain stability at speeds and with turn initiation.
DIRECTIONAL DOUBLE
Ollie power, stability exiting turns and reliable back-seat riding.
DIRECTIONAL TRIPLE
Versatility, reactivity and all-terrain mobility.
BAMBOO HOTROD
Pressable and playful with plenty of pop
TWIN DOUBLE-V
Freestyle oriented responsiveness and maximum ollie power.
TWIN SINGLE
Torsional flexibility, pressable yet reliable all-mountain charging.
TWIN DOUBLE
Stability, versatility and up-hill sure footedness.
Omega.Unleash the
Power of Carbon
Omegas are sleeves of carbon that sit around HotRods themselves, built in the shape of an Omega. We use Omega’s to enhance the pop and response of HotRods, think of them as turbo boosters for a board’s flex pattern.
CARBON OMEGA HOTROD
BAMBOO OMEGA HOTROD
Omegas are sheets of carbon wrapped around HotRods for additional snap and response
Omega carbon sheets are added to the existing HotRod configurations for even more pop and response
Flax.The Lightweight
Super Fibre
Flax is a natural, incredibly versatile, lightweight textile material that we use in our boards. Depending how the flax material is used, it has advanced impact absorption properties or the ability to create rigidity and strengthen specific regions of a board.
Flaximum power baby!.
FLAX WALLS
New for this season Flax Walls are an I-Beam shaped sidewall reinforcement. This natural, low-density material has advanced strengthening properties. When used in a vertical arrangement between the core and sidewall Flax Walls create rigidity and stability. We use strategic mapping to inlay Flax Walls on directional boards to utilize these benefits.

FLAX IMPACT PLATES
New for this season we overhauled our industry leading Impact Plates. Now with a full woven flax construction and a new shape that covers and reinforces the insert pack. Flax Impact Plates are designed to make boards more durable. Flax Impact Plates help absorb impact and add increased strength without changing the board’s flex pattern.
