Power 66 completes the gentle profile. Value 80 keeps the Bolt's benchmark-adjacent arithmetic.

Power at 84 and control at 76 sit in a usable but offensively focused balance, and the 12K carbon surface delivers a crisp, confident feel on overheads and drives. Comfort at 68 is the honest cost across long sessions. PRR score: 86/100.”
