Rift Pro
25/26 season
Expert reviews 1
The stiff version of the Rift. It weighs in the 1.1 kg range, about mid-pack alongside the Nitro Team TLS and Bataleon Acid BOA. Sizing is true with a hair of extra room, so you don't need to size up or down, and reviewers particularly liked that an E-width foot went in comfortably on day one with no heat moulding and no pressure on the sides.

Good
- ✓An E-width foot goes in comfortably on day one with no heat moulding
- ✓True to size — no need to go up or down
- ✓Mid-pack weight, so it doesn't feel like a burden
- ✓Stiffer than the Rift, so it handles more demanding boards
Not so good
- —It can loosen slightly as the liner packs out, so foam reinforcement may be needed
