I’m dead set on the new Arv 96 and already reserved a pair at my shop, also pretty much set on plain black pivots.
The one thing i’m hung up on is wether to go with the TW Pro kTilts or the Revolver Pro kTilts. The difference in the type of power strap between the two is irrelevant bc i’m replacing it w a booster.
Basic Revolver Pro-
Pros:
•More aesthetically pleasing (matches kit)
•$100+ Cheaper
•Slightly lighter at 1920g vs 2050g
Cons:
•No gripwalk sole
•Non-replaceable sole
•Narrower toe box (?) *Basic Revolver Pro shell vs Revolver Plus shell
TW Revolver Pro-
Pros:
•Replaceable soles
•Gripwalk
•”Revolver Plus” shell (*K2 claims this means it has a slightly wider toe box than the basic Revolver Pro shell for a “roomier fit out of the box”)
Cons:
•Over $100 more expensive
•Really not crazy about this black/blue color way they went with (this is honestly my main point of contention)
•Slightly heavier at 2050g vs 1920g
So what do you guys think? Am I just over thinking the shit out of this and the kit will look good either way? Is essentially having the option to replace warn out soles, a roomier toe box, and having Gripwalk worth an extra $150? Let me know what you think, thanks.
