Where are Phoenix & ERA made?
European manufacture: polyurethane and hub materials from France; casting and processing in Germany.
84A vs 86A — which should I pick?
84A (Medium): more mechanical grip and comfort on cooler or slick surfaces; extra bite in corners.
86A (Hard): higher top-end roll on warm, smooth tracks; resists deformation in powerful pushes.
Quick picks: Grip-limited day → 84A. Hot/fast track → 86A. Mixed conditions → start 84A, switch to 86A as temps rise.
Suggested pairings: Max grip ERA 84A • Max roll Phoenix 86A.
