The Rocket was an attempt as well.

I thought the CrossRoad was an attempt to "update" the Hy-Road.

they have tried to improve upon, yes. But they have never tried to "replace" it. In order to replace the HyRoad, they have to stop making it

They may have though. When the Victory Road came out, then the Cross Road, both times the Hy-Road became very tough to find at the distributors(At least my pro shop was saying that it wasn't available from their distributor).

 I got the impression that Storm wanted to replace the Hy-Road, but the demand was too high.

Don't forget guys that Storm also came out with the Reign Supreme in a attempt also......

I don't understand why they would replace the #redball. Would they consider it a mid heavy moderate due to surface prep? I mean, it propelled Motiv into the spotlight.

Probably not. In the BowlersDeals link they have it listed at 5000 Grit LSP, same as the Primal Rage. And that is currently in the angular column of the medium-heavy row on Motiv's ball chart. From what I've seen they don't tend to keep more than one type (reaction) of ball on the ball chart active so it seems like the Primal Rage is on it's way out.

That ball did help get Motiv's name on the map, but maybe it's not selling well now. I have no idea if that's the case but it makes sense to move on if it isn't. Especially if you can replace it with a ball that's even more angular and handles more oil like they're saying.

Here's to new beginnings!

I will be interested in how this ball will react compared to the Vengeance. 

I'm actually wondering how the Primal Fear will react compared to the Primal Rage Remix. Should be more angular for sure, but with the stronger coverstock it might be able to handle the same amount of oil with a somewhat similar shape. Especially if you bring them both to the same surface.
