k2's new public enemy made there edges vertical instead of the scratches for instance which have them at an angle , it makes the edges stronger specifically for rails, there also strengthening the egdes making them thicker or something i donno check them out 4 urself
the origional design for ther 1260 in 01/02 has a plate in them.... they never manufactured em fully though... if u look at bottom on 1260s thats why the white spot is there.. neone have 12's with plate? (very rare)
