Expert reviews 1
The model bridging the medium-response Hologram and the very stiff Quantum. It's medium-stiff whichever way you move it, and the highback's contour is well shaped, so it doesn't bite your calf despite the narrow adjustment range. Highback rotation and forward lean are tied together, though, so you can't set them independently. The disc fits every insert pattern.
