Stiffness per mm.
EI divided by construction thickness. The supplied Maple reference is 14.0; HybridCore is 14.0 × 3.65 = 51.1, in millions of N·mm²/mm.

HYBRIDCORE STANDARD
V2.6.
Ten layers.
Four materials.
A closer look at how a deck bends and twists.
Standard uses V2.6. Apex and Flow use V2. Explore the supplied construction, understand the stiffness comparisons, then choose the shape for your skating.
Illustrative construction study. Material surfaces, spacing and layer thicknesses are schematic.
READ THE NUMBERS CORRECTLY
Two movements.
Two separate measures.
Resistance to twisting.
The separate torsion ratio supplied by RLTH is 13 for HybridCore, against a Maple reference of 1. It is not derived from the bending value.
Stiffness is not strength.
These values do not establish breaking load, weight-normalized efficiency, measured pop or service life. Individual riding results are not predicted by these comparisons.
Source, normalization and evidence limits
The values on this page were supplied by RLTH. The displayed HybridCore EI/mm is normalized from the supplied Maple reference, not recalculated from the older raw EI/thickness table. Full test conditions, sample counts, uncertainty and independent verification are not available here. Do not treat the illustrations as test photographs.

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.

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
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.
