Lok Carbon Fdb

The Carbon FDB Gen 2 continues Lok's simple pitch: serious hitting, sensible invoice. The EVA core produces power 85 with a direct, unfiltered strike, and value 78 undercuts every big-brand equivalent. The terms are unsoftened: control 71 is workable but demands a plan, comfort 65 and tolerance 64 assume conditioning, and maneuverability 67 wants anticipation at the net. Face documentation is incomplete, so verify the layup in hand. For improving attackers who buy on output rather than badge, the FDB Gen 2 is exactly the kind of rational purchase Lok has built its reputation on.

Lok Carbon Hype 2

A round-head power frame aimed at intermediate players pushing toward a more offensive game, the Lok Carbon Hype 2 2026 scores 85 on power and keeps the round shape's naturally wider sweet spot for off-centre forgiveness. Control at 70 is the honest trade-off: the frame is built for pace rather than precision, and sloppy contact shows. Comfort sits at 65, meaning longer sessions will register in the arm. A step-up option for intermediates ready to prioritise attack. PRR score: 82/100.
