Leathers are a smart move, especially when blind dropping roads with cattle grates

Torque blocks Galore! All shown are for Sale.

All of these designs are different iterations I've made, trying to find the best shape to fit your foot. There is a lot of complex geometry that went into the shape in order to make it as comfortable as possible yet also getting the most leverage.

Comes in either: 1" or 0.75" tall, tapering and curving around where the arch of your foot rests.

Tallest section has a 4" Wide(gas pedal) to rest your foot on during a tuck. The middle section has been perfectly contoured to match the shape of your foot.
So, while rolling down to heelside, it becomes a smooth transition, staying locked in, yet easily able to pivot.

Material(TPU) is flexible enough to conform to any board geometry(W, Concave, micro drops) but stiff enough that it won't squish under load - or deteriorate - unlike Venom's or many others on the market. That way you'll feel the road better too.

The material can EASILY be trimmed to match your board using a razor blade, scissors or strong shears, without ruining the structural integrity of the block

I can also custom round the back corners to match your tail(see pics), and I already have some designed this way, just ask. Custom modifications will add a little more in price - but this will likely be the last torque block you'll need.

Size 4.5" x 9" | Colors: Black or Blue

Comes with strong 4" x 9" piece of velcro to figure out placement(trust me, it won't slide or come off).

Message and we can figure the details out or contact me through here or my main account @josh.hilgart

This is my gold standard torque - unlike anything else on the market.

Contours to the foot perfectly in a tuck or leaning into a hard heelside or toeside turn/drift.

Orientation Difference:

LOW SIDE UNDER TOE: You have a nice toe pocket to press against for heelside, and a blended ramp for tuck leaning. The higher heel gives great leverage during heelsides/drifts(don't have to squat as far), while still having a nice ramp while tucking in the middle.(most common setup)

HIGH SIDE UNDER TOE: if you have the high side under your toe, it acts like a gas pedal with a ramp in a tuck.
rolling your foot down, you have a lower pocket to press into for heelside drifts/slides, mainly for bombing, but rider preferance.

Size:4"x 8.5" or 9"W - Or custom width(Max 9")

Height: 1" or 0.75"
Colors: Black🖤 or Blue🩵

Specify:
LOW SIDE UNDER TOE: LEFT or RIGHT Side
- OR -
HIGH SIDE UNDER TOE: LEFT or RIGHT Side

Can easily be trimmed to match your board.

Comes with 4"x9" velcro to mount(trust me, it won't move).

A lot of complex CAD work went into the design to match the foot and arch shape.

Material(TPU): flexible enough to conform to any board geometry but stiff enough that it won't squish under load, or deteriorate over time.

"Toesides have become effortless from the leverage."

@couchslide, "I normally don't like torque blocks, but I could get down with this one"
