When Spartanik released the first version of the Achill I thought it was a blast and was a little bummed that it would never be released in that form due to a structural design flaw. Spartanik vowed to release a corrected design but after a second failed attempt they all but disappeared. That was over 8 months ago and honestly I had almost completely forgotten about them… until the Achill v2 design surfaced on the forums over at One Drop. Spartanik explained that the second failed attempt almost did them in but a last minute partnering with fellow German designers ILYY saved the day. The team-up delivered an almost completely revamped design with just the catch zone remaining from the original. ILYY brought their machining, ano, and response to the mix, giving Spartanik the tools needed to complete the Achill. Lets see if this newer version retains the charm of the original, even with such a radical update to the design.

The shape reminds me somewhat of a more rounded envy 64

YES! I was heartbroken when it never reached the light of day.
