In words

Intro
One of the most universal race skins out there, offering the best bang for your buck. Straight out of the box it glides exceptionally well, with no need to break it in. The grip is also above average, right from the offset. It's light and thin, with a fine plush for sensitivity. It offers maximum glide at the cost of durability (which is slightly below average), but the competitive price point makes it worth it. The weight of the hot glue has been reduced to make transitions quicker, which in the past penalized it a little on the race track.
