AI Breakdown

At a glance

The FlyLite is noticeably lighter and built for pure quick-release speed, but the Classic is way more affordable and gives you a much wider curve and flex selection to dial in your fit. If price and customization matter, the Classic wins on paper, but you are giving up 40g and a proven elite-tier construction.
