MBS Comp 95 vs MBS Atom 95x

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.

The Atom 95x is equipped with a hand brake, by default, that can be used on both axles, making it usable by left and right footed riders. For beginners, the hand brake adds peace of mind and can be important in injury prevention. Nevertheless, some users dislike using a hand brake, since it restricts back arm movement, which is important to keep balance.

The Atom 95x's deck is very light and made from laminated maple. While there are stronger decks out there, beginners will benefit from this deck's flexibility and lightness, as it’s easy to carry and is very good at absorbing vibrations.

The Atom 95x uses very simple skate-style trucks. The axles are only 9.5mm and very light, so they are perfect for young riders or lightweight adults. The bushings of the truck can be changed to different stiffness levels, effectively changing the riding feel of the board.

The included tires offer very nice traction, even on slippery surfaces.

The brakes can be easily removed and repaired, as they use standard bicycle v-brake parts.

Since this board's deck is wide and long, with wide skate trucks, it feels very stable when carving downhill, even at moderate speeds. Additionally, the included F1 velcro bindings will keep you firmly attached to the board at all times, even in rough terrain or when performing tricks.
