The Pantheon Ember is back! Many riders know and love this board already and can skip this paragraph. For those who have yet to get acquainted, the Ember is a top of the line commuter board designed around 149mm TKP trucks. Compared to a board like the Pranayama, the Ember sacrifices some of the low-ness and instead shaves some heft and adds a tail. The platform is slightly smaller than the Pranayama, but similar enough that if you can ride one, you can ride the other. The width gets cut down a meaningful half inch and puts the widest part of the deck at the center in the “belly” of the board. The ends of the standing platform are closer to 8 inches in width. This makes the board feel notably smaller and it will suit smaller riders, women and children, and people who just want a commuter deck that feels small–like a mini cruiser but way easier to push around.

The Ember is sexy and curved with care. It screams style, and we’ve got four styles of Embers to fit whatever your needs may be on the road.

Please note: do not set this board up RKP-style longboard trucks. The Ember is built for street trucks only, and putting the wrong setup on this board will cause wheel bite. If you’re going to put this together yourself, be sure you pay attention to our available options here and set it up very similarly, and you’re assured to have a uniquely awesome riding experience.

Description

Ember Shapes Explained:

  • The Freestyle Ember is our double kick version and speaks for itself. This board is playful with both a nose kick and a kicktail while still sporting a low platform for everyday commuting. The freestyle Ember features the “Logos 2” graphic–a fun one that hasn’t been seen since around 2015!

    •  

  • The Classic Ember mimics the original design with a pointy nose that makes you feel like you’re going somewhere and a much more usable kicktail than the previous models–even moreso than the Summit Series Ember, as the new one has more curvature and flick at the end. The Classic features the Yggdrasil graphic that so many have come to associate with this board.

    •  

  • The Urban Ember features a fork nose and a kicktail and sports the Wanderlust graphic. The fork nose helps keep your deck from getting hit should you lose the deck and have it run into a curb, and the kicktail helps riders navigate urban environments and kick the board up easily once you arrive at your destination.

    •  

  • The Eco Ember is our smallest double drop of all at only 30.5-inches long. One might call it “economy sized.” The fork nose and tail reduces unnecessary weight and making this board extra stashable, as well as keeping the deck from hitting curbs on both the front and back, should you lose the deck while riding (the wheels will stick out further than the forks.  Featuring the Torus graphic.

    The Ember has been a staple in the Pantheon lineup since around 2017. It has existed in multiple forms, and this newest form pulls from the original mold shape with some slight modifications, bringing the lines together in a more aesthetic fashion and adding extra kick on the kicktail. And we built it with a construction that will be stronger over time. The new construction fixes some of the long-term issues with the old Ember by introducing fiberglass into the layup, strengthening the board and mostly eliminating warpage over time.

    1. spalmer094 (verified owner) –

      I grabbed an urban Ember a couple weeks ago and I could not be happier! I set it up with Pantheon’s stylus trucks and mango Seismic blast waves. I’d highly recommend this deck, to anyone even if you already own a commuter like the Trip or Pranayama.

      The board construction is superb and the graphic is beautiful. The deck itself is lightweight, and it has a nice amount of flex. The kick is super useable and has been adding a little spice to my commutes and cruises.

      The only points of contention I could see would be the shorter standing platform and the higher ride height. (In comparison to the Pranayama)

      I’m 6’1” and I don’t feel cramped at all. I think the drops are much more comfortable to stand on, and this makes the deck feel roomier than you might expect. That being said, my 5’2” wife immediately noticed the difference and said it was too short. (She rides a pretty wides stance)

      As for the ride height, it was definitely noticeable on 85mm+ wheels but not uncomfortably so. I think running smaller wheels lets the kick shine a little more and it drops the deck down a bit. The flex on this really helps smooth out the bumps you get from not using monster truck wheels.

      Last note is that the grip tape on it is noticeably coarser than my other Pantheon decks. Not sure if this is specific to the ember line or not but I wouldn’t be upset if it became standard.
