MBS Pro 97 vs MBS Comp 95

This board's deck has a Powerlam+ composite layup, that uses PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), fiberglass and maple. This gives it a durability and stiffness capable of withstanding very extreme use. Plus, the outer layers protect the deck artwork, when doing rail slides.

The 97 uses the ShockBlock suspension system, which is much lighter than traditional spring shocks. Additionally, it offers a very wide and independent heel and toe resistance adjustment range, so you can fine tune it for high speed carving or freestyle riding.

This MBS board uses the Matrix II Pro channel truck system. These are the most advanced MBS trucks, made for the most demanding riders. They are very strong and light, thanks to their 12mm CroMoly hollow axles and trunk tops made from durable plastic (which may seem fragile, but it’s actually extremely durable and light).

The 97's deck has an asymmetrical concave design that gives great toeside leverage and also eliminates pressure on joints and heels. The result is a comfortable riding experience and a firm “locked in” feel.

MBS ships this board with standardized binding and truck mounting holes, facilitating potential future upgrades.

This board uses aluminum hubs. While they are heavier than plastic hubs, they are very durable and can withstand high pressure rides better than the plastic alternatives.

It’s possible to install a braking system if needed, but you will need to buy brake spacers if you don’t replace the hubs as well.

Thanks to the flat grinding surface on this board's axles, rail grinding is quite easy.

The 97 has Integrated heel strap mounts, with a combined ladder and bracket system (eliminating the need for screws), letting you add and remove heel straps quickly and conveniently.

This longboard uses F5 adjustable ratchet straps with additional second level adjustment. There’s an added cam-lock buckle that lets you adjust the banding size to the rider’s feet. The strap’s padding is dual density, with soft padding near the foot and a stiff inner layer, for durability.

This is a long deck board, so it’s suited even for tall adults. The length adds stability even at high speeds. Also, it’s light and has a narrow stance so tricks can be done more easily compared to other long mountainboards.

The mid-section of the deck has an arched chamber that gives extra stiffness and makes rail slides easier.

This board has a 30-degree angled tip, which is best suited for channel trucks, but it’s possible to mount skate trucks when needed.

Besides its standard version, the Comp 95 had an “X” version that comes with a braking system.

This board features the Matrix II channel truck system, one of the most advanced trucks from MBS. Its especially designed plastic truck top and CroMoly 12mm axles makes it light and, at the same time, very strong and solid. This enables riders to perform even the most extreme tricks with confidence.

This board's 95 cm length makes it very stable at high speeds, but compact enough for pulling off tricks.

For high comfort and stability, the Comp 95's deck has an asymmetrical concave shape, which puts less pressure on rider's heels and helps lock one's feet on the deck.

This baords deck uses a Powerlam layup that combines maple and fiberglass. The result is a flexible yet strong deck that allows the deck to withstand a lot of pressure when performing tricks and rail slides and eliminates worries about durability.

The binding's padding uses dual density memory foam, for increased comfort and durability.

Integrated heel strap mounts lets you add and remove heel straps quickly and conveniently.

This longboard uses F5 adjustable ratchet straps, with additional second level adjustment. This helps adjust the bindings precisely for each individual foot. Foot release is easy and quick, thanks to the cleverly designed ratchet buckle release.

This board's hubs are made from plastic and have fantastic durability, being second only to heavier, and more expensive, aluminum hubs.

The Comp 95 uses the ShockBlock suspension system, which is much lighter than traditional spring shocks. Additionally, it offers a very wide and independent heel and toe resistance adjustment range, so you can fine tune it for high speed carving or freestyle riding.

Thanks to the flat grinding surface on this board's axles, rail grinding is quite easy.

The 95cm length of the Comp 95's deck means it suitable both for teenagers and adults.

The center of the Comp 95' deck has an arched chamber, which adds stiffness and makes rail slides easier.

Even though this board's deck has a 30-degree angled tip, which is best suited for channel trucks, it’s possible to mount it with skate trucks.
