Verdicts
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.
Ronbus Tenon
Ronbus doing what Ronbus does: a flagship-tier build at a mid-tier price. The Tenon lands closest to the premium all-court paddles on measured traits while costing about $100 less.
