Zenit BB LDP Deck

  • Sale
  • $368.00
  • Regular price $380.00


Long Distance Pumping / Pushing longboard deck. The BB is a compact and high-performance bracket board. The idea behind the BB was to create an evolution of the AB and AZ boards to maximize performance and customization options. The brackets allow for a lower setup to the ground and asymmetrical truck angles for improved maneuverability in the front and better control in the rear, which are crucial for long distances and pumping.

Length: 23.2" / 58.9 cm
Width: 9.2" / 23.4 cm
Wheelbase: 15 - 17.2" / 38.1 - 43.7 cm

Weight (Board Only): 2,8 lbs / 1,3 kg


Stiffness: 7.5/10

Long Distance (LDP): 10/10
Cruise: 8/10

The design was carefully thought out and tested to maximize the raised nose size, creating an integrated footstop while avoiding potential wheelbites. The slightly more prominent rear tail ensures proper foot placement and prevents wheel interference.

The asymmetric shape of the platform provides a comfortable width at the front and easier grip on the heels and toes at the rear for better control during turns.

The flush mount attachment lowers the board by 0.25 inches to the ground, reducing potential vibrations caused by carbon fiber and glass.

The five rear wheelbase options accommodate any type of bracket and allow for personalized flex customization according to the rider's preferences.

It features the same comfortable and proven concave as the AB and AZ boards, ensuring excellent control over long distances.

Quality Over Quantity

Lightweight, responsive, and comfortable.

The goal was to have a board that is rigid enough to minimize energy loss during pushing but also flexible enough to absorb road imperfections. The choice of materials was optimized to create a lightweight and durable board. The 45-degree carbon fiber maximizes the transfer of lateral energy from pumping to the wheels.

 

REVIEW:

Warning. Long and wordy post.
Just wanted to share about the Zenit BB and why I think it's the perfect bracket board.
Compact and light
- At 23.2"/58.9 cm and 1.3kg ungripped. Which makes it great for pumping and pushing mongo.
- When paired with Qwiktrucks, easily unclip the components and throw everything into a backpack.
Great for foot placement
- The flares at the front and rear allows for ease of foot placement while pushing without having to look down.
- The flares also acts as a integrated footstop and provides additional grip to lock in your feet while pumping.
Amazing construction
- The combination of Fibreglass, Carbon Fibre and Maple provides fantastic dampening and energy transfer.
- Has springy flex to it unlike some decks which has a similar construction but has a saggy/dead flex.
Flush cuts
- Brings the deck closer to the ground by 0.25"/1cm
- Allows for the use of Qwiktrucks (For portability and ease of swapping out components) without sacrificing ride height.
- Looks cool while being functional
Design
- The asymmetric shape does provides a comfortable width at the front and easier grip on the heels and toes at the rear as described on their site.
- The mellow Rocker Concave provides comfort while pushing and the Progressive Concave gives confidence while pumping while not making your feet uncomfortable.
- The graphics and zenply gives the board a nice texture and clean look.
Final thoughts
- If you are considering to get a Zenit bracket board to get for LDP. Having tinkered and ride both the BB and BB+ quite a fair bit. (I do ride other boards and still enjoy the BB the most currently)
- I'd highly recommend to go for the BB for the above mentioned reasons.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long and wordy post.
