I went into my local shop and they recommended the hellbents for me. Is there any difference between the 2009 version and 2010 version? Im wondering because the 09 version is quite a bit cheaper than the 2010s and id rather pay the difference on other gear i need.

They're going to be cap in the tip and tail and I think still sidewall underfoot, to lower swing and overall weight.  My guess is that that will be the only change, although they should add taper, flatten out the normal tip after the rocker and get a better core!

Think about how the JJs and ARGs are(cap and sidewall) and I would expect them to be like that.

Fuck that. If you want taper, flatter tips and a different core, buy something else.

i heard from a pretty reliable source they are 132 underfoot and have camber underfoot. im not saying its true but there is a really good possibility.
