The Ember is of one of Pantheon’s most popular boards.
The Urban Ember features a fork nose and a kicktail and sports the Wanderlust graphic. The fork nose helps keep your deck from getting hit should you lose the deck and have it run into a curb, and the kicktail helps riders navigate urban environments and kick the board up easily once you arrive at your destination.
Designed as a double drop commuter longboard, which means the trucks are dropped thru the deck to make it lower to the ground and easier to push, and the deck concave is dropped down to further lower the board. These concave drops also provide nice reference points for your feet when pushing and extra grip in aggressive pumping. The summary is this is a fun, nimble commuter board that can handle anything. Designed around TKP trucks just like its predecessor, this board is assembled with the new Pantheon Stylus TKP street truck.
The Ember is designed with flex in mind. The shape is built with low concave, which allows the board to have a medium flex and provide comfort on rough terrain. The flex also returns energy when you are pumping.
Construction is 6 ply maple. On the top is triaxial fiberglass, dyed black for a sleek look, with 60 grit griptape to help keep your feet on the deck. 60 grit is a little above a street griptape, so you can feel extra confident maneuvering this board through traffic and using the kicktails! Underneath the bottom layer of maple (graphic-side) is another layer of fiberglass. Pantheon has put the glass inside the bottom layer to protect the fiberglass and preserve the flex. This means, as you scrape up the board, whether on curbs or by using the kicktails, fiberglass exposure is minimized substantially, and you won’t get glass in your hands by handling your board.
