WHAT IS BASALT & WHY USE IT IN A DECK?
Basalt is a hard, black volcanic rock formed by rapidly cooling molten lava, known for its multidimensional strength properties. The three basalt layers improve the deck’s structural integrity and stiffness while providing the maple veneers ‘backbone’ that maximizes the wood’s natural resonance.
DBX decks are designed for an ultra-responsive, lightweight, and quick feel, maintaining consistent, long-lasting performance throughout the board’s lifespan. They are lighter, thinner, and stronger, with a snappier pop than traditional 7-ply decks.
Each deck is constructed using three layers of interwoven Basalt, with four standard-thickness interior veneers, and two thinner face veneers.
Hand-laid up and precision-pressed in single molds to meet exact specs with each deck.
Unlike typical composite decks that focus solely on strength, DBX decks are designed to priority response, feel, pop, and long-lasting performance throughout the board’s life.
