Wheels have enough grip to handle rough, lumpy paths
This board uses special high rebound polyurethane wheels with a layered design, which creates edges on the wheels. These, together with the rebounding material, help create enough grip for off-road riding. The wheels are also large enough to easily overcome uneven footpaths, tree roots, and other obstacles.

Noisy on tarmac roads
Because of its deck's layered design, riding this board on tarmac roads produces and annoying rattling noise.

High quality, durable bearings
This longboard is equipped with ABEC 9 bearings, which are more than capable of ensuring a smooth ride. They are specially shielded to prevent dirt from ruining its effectiveness overtime.

Deck is designed for both high-speeds and off-road riding
This longboard's deck is made from laminated maple and is covered with a pitch black coating similar to carbon fiber. It has a lowered design, but because of its large wheels, the deck still stands higher from the ground than classic longboards. This design's low center of gravity helps maintain stability at high speeds and, at the same time, it's still high enough for off-road riding.

No bindings or brakes and no way of adding them
Unlike many competitor boards, this longboard has no bindings or brakes, and there is no easy way to add them.

Affordable
If you want to start mountainboarding without spending a lot, this board is a very good option. It's very affordable, costing much less than higher-end boards.

•••
Not suitable for tall or heavy adults
This board's deck is only 32 inches long and its weight limit is only 180 pounds, making it a good option only for children or small adults.

Deck is flexible enough to handle impact and floor irregularities
Despite being a short board, you will find it’s flexible enough to absorb shock (from jumps, for example) and vibrations caused by riding in rough terrains.

•••
Limited upgrade and customisation options
Straight out of the box, this board has very little customization options: you can change the board’s tires and little else. Theoretically, this can be fixed by drilling new holes for bindings and trucks, but considering the cost of doing that, you’ll be better off upgrading to a new, superior board.

Conveniently carriable and transformable
The SDS 32'' is quite light and compact, when compared to other mountainboards, and can therefore be carried around easily. Like on skateboards, the grip tape covers the top of the board, so if you get tired of mountainboarding, you can take the bindings off and use it as an all-terrain longboard or a board for daily commutes.

•••
Standard bearing aren't the best option
This board uses ABEC 5 bearings, which aren’t the best, so you may want to change them for better speed. The price of better replacements isn't high, but they may be hard to find, since the needed size is larger than standard mountainboard bearings.
