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.

Six Zero Ruby

Six Zero's answer to the hybrid trend, and the most balanced paddle in our 2026 test group. Very few weaknesses at this price.
