Title: Roto did it finally...
Post by: SVstar34 on October 16, 2018, 01:23:26 PM: Idol Pearl on the approved list. Here's to hoping it's a nano Pearl type cover. Winner Solid also on the list

Curious as to what the pearl coverstock is on that Idol Pearl.

As compare to the MicroTrax-S18 Solid on the Idol. Hopefully the new one just their name for the pearl variation of the same(ish) solid coverstock.

"eTrax-P18â„¢ Pearl Reactive Coverstock"

I would say think pearl version of Hyper Cell Fused cover. It's E-Trax which I guess is extra traction Hybrid, this being the pearl. MicroTrax would reference the nano particles. I wouldn't count this as a nano pearl but more so just a stronger Peal than Amped Pearl that was on the NRP and DD. Hard comaprison though because NRP is a strong Asymmetric and DD is considerably lower diff.

My speculation is a Marvel Pearl with a bit more traction. Kind of disappointed if my speculation is true though. Reason why, I wanted a Marvel Pearl with faster response to friction. This kind of speaks to being the same but handles more oil. When the Hybrid drops, I'm guessing the cover will be called E-Trax-H19.

Maybe the Storm Master line Hybrid release next year will fit this need. Ok rambling over.
