The top of the tree when it comes to technology, response and performance, the Pentaquark is absolutely NOT for the faint-hearted. But for aggressive, powerful riders looking for the pinnacle of edge hold, precision and a slingshotted turning experience then the Pentaquark is impossible to beat.
Riding at Mach 10 on this is a given, and when you do you’ll be grateful no only for the long effective edge and energized camber, but also for Amplid’s Antiphase technology: noise-cancelling carbon fibres that tune out the high-speed chatter to deliver the smoothness of a 40-year-old single malt.
