The Fathom Strata features 8-ply maple construction, slight camber for road-smoothing suspension, and lifted corners (with more aggressive grip tape) to lock in your feet. Then it goes further: a 3D-textured thermoplastic base bonded to the bottom of the deck adds strength to the layup and shields the maple from water, and a full dip seals the edges and rails for good measure, so your commute doesn’t need to check the forecast. And it’s large enough for but compact enough to carry on the train and stow under your desk.
GO FASTER, FURTHER
The Fathom is built for speed and momentum. 90mm of Orangatang urethane keeps you rolling at true commuting speeds, faster than a conventional skateboard wants to go, and holds that pace with far fewer pushes. Get a good workout, explore the roads less traveled, or get to class/work without breaking a sweat. It’s up to you.
UNRIVALED CONTROL
Stable and easy to control, even at high commuting speeds. The low ride height makes pushing and footbraking effortless, the wide deck gives your feet a forgiving, stable platform, and upturned corners keep them out of the wheels. Don't turn your feet into street meat!
BIG WHEELS, TIGHT TURNS
A wooden double-drop with the curvature to clear 105mm wheels is practically impossible to build, so we developed the Zee Bracket in partnership with G-bomb: it takes the drop's stress off the maple layup, letting us shape huge wheel flares right into the platform. Double-drop Zee Brackets and relatively narrow trucks make this board surprisingly responsive and agile. Slalom through pedestrians, snake down alleys, carve the whole lane. A board with wheels this size has no right to turn this well.
PINK AND NIMBLE
Say hello to Pink. The 90mm Bee’s Knees setup is all-new for the Fathom, and it rides noticeably livelier than the 105s: quicker acceleration, a snappier carve, and a lower platform under your feet. Bee’s Knees are centerset wheels, which sit further inboard than an offset wheel, so they run on wider 165mm Paris V3 hangers to put the urethane back out under the edges of the deck where it belongs. Pink urethane at 83a keeps a good balance of grip and roll speed. Flip it, rotate it, wear it evenly, keep going.
