Review: Of the rides I've tried in this series, this is probably my favorite. It's got a nice balance of stick definition to wash, which is smooth and warm. I've had an EAK and a current production one, and the EAK was a bit more exotic sounding, while the latter was not quite as dark, nor as exotic. If this isn't the ride for you in the K. seies, the 20" Heavy Ride and the 20" K Custom have more ping with less wash. If more wash/less definition is your thing, try one of the K Light Rides.
