Mike T Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Wont Torsion + be a Poppy board I find that "pop" seems to come from longitudinal flex characteristics more so than torsional flex characteristics. In other words I would expect the selection of Balance (least poppy), V-Cam (middle ground) or Energy (most poppy) to have more of an impact. This has been reflected in the Nirvanas I've ridden over time... the 174's have also as a whole been more poppy than the 182 that I've ridden. My softish Energy w/o Torsion Plus is more poppy than the two stiffish Energy's I've ridden with Torsion Plus, at least under my feet... but again I suspect that the lengthwise flex has more to do with that. The flex on mine is "just right" in that I can put a lot of bend into it and then get that energy back as pop at the end of the turn.

Bobby Buggs Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Love my 177 VSR 20 waist but it does lack some tail pop, with that the sweetspot on it is huge, its my magic carpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
