I compared my friends ultra pro deck with my pro, and the dropouts look the same. but i never have seen someone snap the dropouts on a RUP. but on a pro, everyone i know snapped theirs there. for people who have used the RUP and pro, whats the difference? which on lasts longer? where does the RUP tend to snap?

Well, RUP's are so much stronger than RP's, RUP's usually snap at the headtube but if you get the RUPv2 with reinforced neck it last so much longer, personally id go with a RUP because RP wont last you too long

The rups alot stronger and the dropouts are thicker. The RUP lasts longer than a pro and the RUP snaps at the headtube, but alot of the new ultra pros havent snapped yet

Yeah i bought a new RP deck and i snapped that sucker in 2 weeks. and im not even heavy or anything. But my friend has the RUP and he goes big as shit and he weighs more, and he doesnt even have a crack on the dropouts or headtube neck. im just on a low ass budget so i dont want to snap a RUP and spend that kind of money on deck that would last 2 weeks.

Well if you keep buying pros in less than a month it would be less money to get a RUP than keep buying pros

They made the dropouts thicker on the Ultra Pros, which just causes the deck to transfer more stress from impacts into the headtube, which is why it breaks easier.
