Verdicts
Bread & Butter Loco 2 Hybrid 16mm
The second-generation Loco in the hybrid shape keeps the dual-density foam core and adds Space Dust grit. A published 111 swing weight makes it quicker than most 16mm power hybrids, while the 6.7 twist weight keeps it stable.
Ronbus Nova R1
Ronbus keeps doing the same thing: premium specs, mid-tier price. The Nova R1 lands between a control and power build and does not embarrass itself in either direction.
