Who Is The Drake Reload x FYVE For?

Riding park is your passion, you love messing around with the homies and turning everything into your own personal playground and if you look good doing it, then that’s just a bonus.

Baseplate

The Light Saber baseplates use the force in more ways than one, built around a one-piece chassis and designed for lightweight response and total adjustability. The basepad is moveable for size, dial in the right fit and wave goodbye to toe-verhang.

It fits with both 4×4 and 4×2 insert patterns, and has heelcup adjustment, and independent highback adjustment. It’s the gift that keeps giving.

Straps and Highbacks

New for this season, the Reload has been tricked out with Drake’s new injected TPU Change Up Strap. The clue’s kinda in the name but the straps can be swapped over and inverted to offer support in different areas. Depending on what terrain you’re riding or how hard you want to push it, you can dial in the amount of support from the straps.

Drake use their asym ShovelBack HiBack which is a step up from the existing Spade Highback, and the shape feeds into the freestyle narrative. It allows for tweaking, poking, pressing and buttering, so get super jibby with it! It’s fully forward lean adjustable, so crank it down if you want to really put some juice and drive into your toe side turns, or keep ‘em up for a looser feeling.

Roundup

The Reload x Fyve are essentially the same as the standard version, but with a special citrus graphic and a whole boat load of good vibes. The price stays the same across the collab and the regular, and to be fair at under £200 it’s really reasonable for most budgets.
