Collection note: Year left null: the only year shown is the metadata tag 'coleccion:2026' and the copyright '2026', and the page does not state a model year. The core firmness comes from the description of the rubber ('goma S-Eva Flex, de densidad blanda'), not from a TACTO or hardness line for the whole racket, because the page has no such line. The Tecnologías section lists SPIN BOOST TECH ('Superficie rugosa') and T-CARBON ('Tubular de carbono'), but neither the product description nor the Detalles block assigns them to the Arkos. For that reason roughSurface and frame are left null. The product is listed as outlet (Precio de oferta 105,00 EUR, Precio habitual 150,00 EUR). The gama tag reads 'gama:advanced' while the menu uses 'Gama Advance'.
