So I went to Forward a few weeks ago to buy myself a pair of Remz OS2. At first I just wanted the boot only but then I thought about some customizing, and since Forward Freestyle has this great Customizing Room, I thought I’d give it a spin.
After some long and hard thoughts about what to do I ended up with a pair of Remz OS2 with white Jug liners, 4X4 wheels, Vicious Bearings and Morales GC FTL2. This review is about that particular frame.

So alright, I take these badboys out of the box and the first thing to really notice is the lightness. At that moment I was riding G7’s with 50/50 balance core. Those are so heavy compared to the Featherlights! I’ve also had a FTL1 frame lying around so I could really compare them to each other. New on the FTL2 are the sickle axles. Now you only need one allen key to change your frames/bearings. Not that it really matter to me though. What IS an important change, is the fact that the sickle axles go deeper into the frame. Now the chance that you’ll end up grinding on the screw ends is past time. Nice improvement!
Now I have never complained about GC’s H-blocks as they’re fine as always. The FTL2 has a slightly less deeper and a bit wider groove then the first Featherlights. This groove locks on like a mofo, but also causes you to switch your grinds a lot easier. The wideness of the groove could be a good solution for all you flat setup riders, but honestly I think Featherlights are prefect for anti-rocker riding.

Pro’s:
- fast sliding material
- considerable lighter then most frames on the market
- screws/axles deeper into the frame causing less friction
- strong yet durable (durability compareable to fluids)

Con’s:
- thinner then the first edition (how far can they go?)
- sickle screws are not really an improvement
- FTL1’s are better looking imo

Review written on personal experience and intrepretation.

I think that the sickle screws are an improvement. You can change your wheels or someting like that much quicker

well, if you lose the sickle axle your f**ked

"What you gonna do, kill me with your soupcup?" "Teacup actually" "What's that?" "I'll kill you with my teacup"

Yes, that’s why it isn’t exactly an improvement. Yes, you are able to change them with only one allen key. But you can’t put normal 8mm axles in them if you’ve lost a couple of those sickle ones. And GC 8mm axles are sold everywhere for cheap, haven’t seen the sickle axles sold seperately yet.

Win-lose, lose-win.
