    Default Carbon Fiber Evo

    I was looking on daddies and i saw this evo on the second page that cost $962 dollars! Kind of out of the ordinary don't you think?

    It's made from K-rimes's stem cells. (nondifferentiated S cells)

    Expensive but light. Same performance as the wood evo though.

    A lighter board is more agile than a heavier one. A light one will react instantly (or near instantly) which a heavier one may have a bit of lag. A lighter deck is faster off the line as well.

    less weight is more agile, quicker on turns, better control, less drift, better speed control, the list goes on.

    It's lighter, stiffer, and machined to tighter tolerances than a standard wood evo.

    The wooden evo is already stiff as hell. By stiffer he means extremely freaking stiff. If the holes are drilled correctly the tolerance issue becomes a non issue.

    $120 vs $500, no I would not say that it is worth it.

    I wouldn't say that it isn't worth it, it just depends on your situation.

    agreed. if you were racing every weekend/serious competitor/sponsored... the difference between a CF evo and a wood evo makes total sense.

    remember, for serious racers- a 10th of a second is a long time.
