The Zenit AX is a sturdy compact long-distance pusher with a minimalist tail. A re-issue of the look of the very first AB made about a decade ago, combined with Zenit’s most advanced manufacturing techniques.
While the AX is molded in the same way as the AZ, it is more compact. It features a mini kicktail that lets you kick the board to pick it up.
The AX’s wedged shape makes it highly pumpable with good stability in the back, while keeping the board very close to the ground for effective pushing.
AX Specs:
| Size | 36″ x 9.6″ (28.5″ WB) |
| Weight (deck only) | 4.3 lbs |
| Flex | 6.5/10 |
Riders above 260 lbs can order the Hard Flex in the Custom Builder App.
The AX is primarily designed for long distance pushing and pumping, but is also a great freeride longboard.
The bracket angles of the deck allows the board to be as low to the ground as a drop-through board. A 10° wedge and 13° dewedge also make for a lively carve in the front and a less sensitive truck in the back.
The extra truck angle at the front helps you pump, and the lower angle in the back reduces the truck’s angle for a smoother turn.
The center of the board is grip-free for easy feet adjustements.
The AX is lightweight and durable thanks to a stiff 6-plies Canadian Maple + bio epoxy, water-resistant core. It has pre-tensioned fiberglass on the top side, which completely eliminates warping and offers just enough flex for road vibrations dampening.
The Caliber trucks the complete comes fitted with are known for their precision and stability at speed, and the 90mm (78a) Zenit LDP wheels for their momentum. The complete ships with quality rust-free Zenit Built-in Bearings.
Zenit longboards are developped, manufactured, & detailed in-house in Montreal. They come with a one-year warranty.
