Read the measurement notes
RLTH-supplied EI/mm values in millions of N·mm²/mm: 14.0 × 3.65 = 51.1. These are stiffness-per-thickness values, not breaking strength, weight efficiency or measured pop. The comparison applies to Standard V2.6; no matching V2 measurements are supplied for Apex or Flow. The layer image is illustrative and is not to scale.

FROM MATERIAL TO MOVEMENT
A system, layer by layer.
Explore the material choices before putting the numbers in context.
01 / CARBON
Carbon in the stack.
T300 carbon appears in the first and third layers of the supplied layup. Further carbon layers appear closer to the lower face. Open the construction study below to see their exact order.
Illustrative carbon-weave study. Fiber orientation and individual layer thicknesses are not specified.02 / THE LAMINATE
More than one material.
Maple separates several carbon layers. Bamboo sits in the fifth position, followed by fiberglass. Each material has a place in the same laminated construction.
Exploded material study; spacing is enlarged for clarity.
03 / BENDING + TORSION
Two ways to resist.
Bending and twisting are different movements. A single number cannot describe both. Use the material test bench, then switch between the two comparison views.

All supplied values
| Deck | EI/mm | Torsion |
|---|---|---|
| Standard V2.6 | 51.1 | 13× |
| Powell Flight | 25.4 | Not supplied |
| Kape Vanguard | 34.3 | Not supplied |
| DBX Basalt | 35.9 | Not supplied |
| Standard 7-ply Maple | 14.0 | 1× |
What does EI/mm mean?
EI describes bending stiffness. Dividing EI by construction thickness gives the efficiency per millimetre used here. This is a thickness-normalized comparison; it does not measure weight efficiency, breaking strength or pop.
What is torsional stiffness?
Torsional stiffness describes resistance to twisting. Maple is the reference at 1×. The supplied Standard V2.6 ratio is 13×. Values for the other constructions are not available, so no points are plotted for them.
How to read this diagram
Each dot is one deck's supplied value. Dots further to the right have a higher value on the selected scale. Decks can be selected independently. The fixed scale stays the same when a deck is hidden, and missing measurements are never treated as zero.
Dataset & methodology
Comparison values supplied by RLTH. HybridCore EI/mm uses the Maple reference multiplied by 3.65. Torsion is a separate ratio.
EI/mm is displayed in millions of N·mm²/mm. HybridCore's 51.1 is normalized from the Maple reference 14.0 × 3.65. Test setup, sample counts and measurement uncertainty are not published here.

YOUR TERRAIN / YOUR SHAPE
Three ways to make it yours.
Compare the shapes, or answer seven questions to find your HybridCore starting point.
01 / RIDER PROFILE
Apex
For a street-focused profile: ledges, rails and technical sessions. Explore the more pronounced concave if a locked-in shape is what you enjoy.
- Terrain
- Street / technical sessions
- Shape direction
- More pronounced concave
02 / RIDER PROFILE
Flow
For a freestyle-focused profile: flat-ground combinations, footwork and smooth transitions between tricks. Explore a mellower shape.
- Terrain
- Freestyle / flat ground
- Shape direction
- Shallow and mellow
03 / RIDER PROFILE
Standard
For a mixed-terrain profile: street one day, park the next. A familiar shape is the starting point for an adaptable everyday setup.

READ THE DETAILS
Know what you are choosing.
What does efficiency per mm compare?
The comparison divides bending stiffness EI by construction thickness. It is not a measure of stiffness per unit weight, breaking strength or pop.
Where does the 51.1 value come from?
RLTH supplied the normalized HybridCore value as 14.0 × 3.65 = 51.1. The chart displays EI/mm in millions of N·mm²/mm. The methodology panel contains the data notes.
Why do some torsion points disappear?
Torsion values were supplied for HybridCore and Maple only. The other constructions remain labelled as unavailable instead of being plotted at zero.
Does one profile suit every skater?
No single recommendation covers every preference. Use the Finder to explore Apex, Flow and Standard, then check the current product page for size and shape.
Can I see the complete layup?
Yes. The construction study shows all ten layers in top-to-bottom order. The drawing separates the layers so they are readable; their displayed thicknesses are not to scale.
