Overview
Retrospec's Rift is a complete drop-through longboard built on an eight-ply Canadian maple deck with moderate concave and grip tape on top. Cast aluminum drop-through trucks and stainless steel bearings come already assembled.
A low drop-through deck makes pushing easy and rides stable for new riders. The limitation is conflicting detail, with wheel hardness shown two different ways and deck width given as two figures.
Who it's for
New riders, commuters and casual carvers who want a stable low deck will find it approachable. Heavier riders and anyone who needs one clear wheel hardness figure should check with the seller.
Pros and cons
- Drop-through for low stance
- Complete assembled setup
- Stainless steel ABEC-7 bearings
- Wheel hardness shown two ways
- Deck width shown two ways
- Moderate weight limit
Performance notes
A drop-through mount lowers the deck, which makes pushing and stopping easier and adds stability at speed. The wheel hardness decides how much the board absorbs road vibration, which is why the conflicting listing figures matter. The reverse kingpin trucks steer from the lean of the deck.
