The Rome Hype Pro is a women's park board — the same Fusion Camber true twin as the standard Hype but upgraded to a sintered base. Excellent pop and snap make it strong on jumps and ollies, and forgiving landings make it good for trying new tricks. On the other hand, high-speed stability and carving edge hold are lacking, and it gives up powder. It's a quiver board suited to intermediate-to-advanced women riders progressing in the park.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
The same Fusion Camber hybrid and true twin as the standard Hype, but upgraded to a sintered (SinterStrong) base. It fills out the small size range densely, 139–151cm with waists of 243–249mm.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 4.5 out of 10. Pop is especially good, so ollies and jump response come out snappy. In exchange, chatter appears as speed builds.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It doesn't punish mistakes, giving it a character good for trying new tricks in the park. It fits intermediate to advanced women riders progressing mainly through jumps.
Good
- ✓Excellent pop with snappy response — strong on jumps and ollies
- ✓Playful off side hits and terrain features
- ✓Stable in jibbing
- ✓Forgiving landings give confidence — 3rd of 18 women's freestyle boards (86.4/100)
Not so good
- —Insufficient high-speed stability produces chatter when you push it
- —Edge hold is lacking in aggressive carving
- —A slightly catchy feel in low-speed transitions
- —Being a true twin, it has no powder float and is weak on rutted snow
