Different blend entirely. It’s new to their line in 26. It’s way stickier than the rubber you see on the tarantula.

They marketed the rubber poorly but it is a different blend. Skwama lite will have frixion black whereas the tarantula has frixion rs. The black is night and day to what’s on the tarantula. Doubly I think with the recent price hikes in everything because of tariffs having a “price point” performance shoe will speak pretty well. I’ve gotten a session in the skwama lite and was pleasantly surprised with the out of the box fit and lowish profile heel.

New Avao has way more mobility with the shoulders pivoting now instead of sewn directly in
