Overview
The Retrospec Quip is a 22.5 inch plastic mini cruiser built for short trips rather than tricks. It ships fully assembled with ABEC 7 bearings and polyurethane wheels, and at under 5 pounds it fits in a backpack or locker for commuting between classes or around a neighborhood.
Where a wooden cruiser flexes along its length, this one relies on injection molded plastic, which holds up to knocks and weather without chipping the way a painted maple deck can. The molded waffle texture on the deck stands in for grip tape, so there is nothing to peel or re-apply over time. It rides small and light rather than fast or technical.
- 22.5 inch molded plastic mini cruiser
- ABEC 7 bearings with polyurethane wheels
- Under 5 pounds for easy carrying
- Rated for riders up to 220 lbs
Who it's for
Suits commuters, students and casual riders who want a grab-and-go board for pavement and campus paths. Riders looking to learn ollies or park tricks on a stable platform should look at a longer maple deck instead.
Pros and cons
- Fits in a backpack thanks to sub 5 pound weight
- Arrives fully assembled, no tools needed
- Waffle deck texture grips shoes without separate grip tape
- Plastic deck flexes differently than wood, not suited to big tricks
- 22.5 inch length is short for taller riders wanting stability
Performance notes
The soft polyurethane wheels smooth out pavement cracks and seams while the ABEC 7 bearings keep rolling resistance low. Five inch trucks and the molded waffle deck work together to hold a rider's footing through turns, and the plastic build is rated to riders up to 220 pounds.
