Features And Uses

The reflex deck is made from poplar wood, which is the same type of material used when constructing snowboards. This innovative technology allows the runner to go further and with less strain on the body.

These features will, without question, enhance your workout. The reflex deck is made from poplar wood, with the overall effect being you can run further without putting a lot of strain on your body. The adjustable deck gives you the opportunity to decide how much cushioning you need. For instance, if you are planning to run you want more cushioning. Walking requires less, and with these particular models you have the choice to decide.
