Octane Carbon Replacement
« on: September 30, 2021, 01:51:46 PM »
Just curious what any fans of the Octane Carbon have replaced it with. Mine Cracked or it would still be in use. I am not necessarily sticking to Motiv. Numbers on a hyroad pearl are not far off, but I have never seen one roll in person.

Loved the Octane Carbon.

In the current Motiv lineup the Supra Enzo would be the closest to the Carbon. It's a bit more of a pop on the back end, but still similar. On the other side the Fatal Venom would be a bit less ball with a similar shape.

I think I actually like the Enzo more than the I did the Carbon.

I do also and better than the Fatal Venom as I prefer the shape and the Infusion hybrid cover.

VIP-EJ Limited Edition so it wasn't in the line long enough.  Also stronger than the Octane Carbon.  Supra Enzo is also stronger than the Octane Carbon but Infusion hybrid better cover IMO than the Motiv pearl covers of various iterations.  Infusion hybrid is more stable and not as iffy on transition and/or carry down.
