9. Riding Characteristics & Recommended Use:

The 50° version offers an agile, responsive ride, ideal for riders who prefer tight carving, cruising, and freeride with high maneuverability. By flipping the hanger or changing the bushing combination, the riding characteristics can be easily adjusted to suit stability preferences or slide needs. Negative rake models have a lower ride height and simplify slide initiation; the "Blackout" color scheme provides a subtle, matte design. 3.
