And then you say: “I get all this with the Grommet?????”
You do indeed .....

- 2 piece and tough 5 spoke hubs for easy repairs
- 3 spring position channel trucks with coil springs
- Rubber sealed bearings
- Deck size: 92cm X 21cms
- Overall length 98cms X 36cms
- Overall weight 5kg

With all the Retro-fit stuff applicable too.
The price?
$369 Oz beads for this one.
What’s the difference?
Practically speaking, it’s mainly the type of choice of trucks that is the key point.
The Raven has channel trucks that will handle being jumped, thus landed hard and the Grommet will not.
If you want to be a hell mountainboarder, buy the Raven.
But if you want to use your board to practice for snowkiting and just travel along the flat until you shred in the winter, buy the Grommet
Regardless, both are simply great options.
They’re even better than the Skate-chair.
