X-Lite construction
The Torq CI Pod Mod is built in X-Lite — Torq's Channel Islands-specific construction. Lighter and stronger than standard TET, with a wood composite deck layer for outstanding ding resistance and a thinner Shield Skin for weight reduction. Not the same construction as the standard Torq range — X-Lite is developed exclusively for CI collaboration shapes. Read our Torq construction guide to understand the difference.
