Kombat Krakatoa

The Krakatoa is one of Kombat's volcano-named frames, sold alongside the Arenal, Etna, Teide and Vesubio rather than within any of them. The brand's catalogue is organised horizontally, so each name is a complete racket with its own shape and feel and there is no ladder of builds to climb. Two Krakatoa listings are in circulation. Kombat sells its women's builds under the same frame names rather than under a separate line, so a listing's weight and balance matter more here than the name does. Manu Martin carries several of the brand's rackets on tour.
