Our Testers Say:

Tkb Says:
The 2016 F-One Trax Lite is much stiffer in the water compared to the Trax Carbon. It doesn’t offer quite as much flex as the Trax Carbon and requires a bit more back foot pressure to track upwind, but could be a great option for the heavier riders out there. Testers praised The Trax Lite for it’s quick and nimble carving abilities and overall comfort that are a great value if you’re not ready to spring for the carbon version. The pads/footbeds offer 12 different duck settings and the strap has a single velcro adjustment. The pads have ample grip with a rubbery texture and the strap offers a plush feel that is all encompassing and comfortable.
