Octane Carbon

4/10/2017
5.0Read Reviews

Featuring a totally new core and cover, the Octane line has been completely overhauled to produce the Carbon edition.  This impressive piece of high performance engineering is super responsive and corners hard! On light-medium oil conditions, the Red Fire Pearl Octane Carbon offers easy length and continuous backend motion that clears the deck with explosive power.  

The synergies of the brand new dual-density Injector core and Agitator MXR (MaXimum energy Retention) Pearl Reactive cover stock are what make the Octane Carbon so special.  The core has a higher RG to push the ball transition further down the lane and it is complimented by the energy retention of the Agitator MXR Reactive shell, which is tuned with a 5500 Grit LSP finish.

The impressive power of the Octane Carbon’s core/cover synergy is also clearly demonstrated at the backend of the lane.  The Injector core’s dual-density design and moderate differential produce a very responsive transition, which is boosted by a release of energy from the Agitator MXR Reactive cover stock. The resulting ball motion and continuation are incredibly powerful.

    First 299 game!

    I just came back to bowling after a 10 year break. My pro shop recommend Motiv so I got the Carbon Octane. Today I shot my first 299 game (my personal best). I also have been averaging 20 pins higher than I was before. I love the how the ball snaps and crashes through the pins. Thanks for the great bowling experience Motiv!

    First 800 series

    Shot my 5th 300 game to cap off my first 800 series. Shot 279 268 300 for 847. Shot a 257 to cap off the 4th game and 1104. Octane Carbon was the balk of choice from start to finish. Second 300 with it. Ball has definently worked its way to my favorite
