Mmmhmmm.

Sounds neat tho. Idk about 1k neat. But that's just me.
Yeah, interesting to hear all these ultra-specific design ideas and obsessive tweaks made over several years then he says the specs.
That’s a directional twin with camber my dude. Every company has at least one in their board line.
To be fair I’d probably love it.

I wish they’d bring back the Warpspeed in a version that wasn’t a Lambo collab.
a bit of taper, a lot of camber

Could be due to the fact it felt barely broken in, but the 57 Longo felt a lot stiffer underfoot than I expected and prefer these days. Rode it for a few laps (conditions were firm slush, fwiw) and wanted to switch out sooner than I was expecting.

Tried the 57 Merc right after it and felt a touch less stiff underfoot & had a touch more torsional flex than the Aero, but not by much. Stayed on the Merc longer, for maybe close to an hour ... But tbh, enjoy my 54 & 57 Passport much more. Similar flex overall, but a little less dead feeling. Was really surprised ngl, esp the Aero. The feedback I've heard since it released was it was not that stiff and rides pretty lively, which is what I was looking forward to. And I've been wanting to get a Capita board for a while now. Guess the wait continues ;p.
Catching up on old threads. Take it with a grain of salt from someone who hasn't ridden their Aero in over a year (😭) but I wouldn't ride my Aeronaut in chunky snow personally. I'd be fine if it was all I brought, but I'd pick the Instrument 163 instead if I knew I had to plow through variable conditions and slush bumps.

I don't find in that stiff personally, but I'm a little heavy for mine (210-ish on the 161).

Anyone have a catalog pic of the Public Research for next year? There may be a link somewhere in this thread but I'm too lazy to look through 130 pages.

I don't think the specs are changing so I'm just curious about the graphic. The specs on the 160 are right up my alley, just for funz I may pick one up next season to go head-to-head with my mighty Cadet.
