AI Breakdown

At a glance

The Pro Blackout is noticeably lighter at 350g and offers a much wider curve selection with 9 blade options, but you'll pay more for it. The Code Encrypt 1 is way more affordable and still delivers a hybrid kick, though it gives up weight and flexibility options to get there.
