Shaman Core
Our lightest, most tech core; designed for high-end mountain or park riding; built with a 50/50 blend of Paulownia and Poplar woods. Paulownia is a highly renewable, balsa-like species that delivers ultra lightweight performance. Unlike Balsa, Paulownia wood's tensile strength is similar to traditional wood core materials, which allows us to deliver maximum weight reduction, without reducing durability. FSC certified, sustainably sourced Poplar is then added to provide more compression strength.
