20/21 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Yonex Thrust is a carving board combining a semi-hammerhead shape with high torsional stiffness. High-speed stability is its strength, described as 'the heavy cutting feel of a thick-bladed nata', and Stavera carbon lets it handle rough snow too.
It suits advanced riders who want carving that pushes forward stably rather than precise handling.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber with a semi-hammerhead shape and a flat zone only at the nose. The tail is designed stiffer for aggressive carving response. Vibration-absorbing 'Stavera' carbon raises stability on rough snow, and the somewhat long effective edge handles everything from short to long turns in a balanced way.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A hard flex at 8 out of 10. Torsional stiffness in particular is high, giving the sensation of a thick-bladed hatchet cutting in with weight. It resists twisting more strongly than the SYMARC.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
For advanced riders. You need a solid back-foot position, and riders who over-weight the front foot will find it hard to handle. It fits riders who carve aggressively.
What the review liked
- ✓High torsional stiffness gives it better high-speed stability than the Symarc
- ✓Stavera vibration-absorbing carbon gives it good rough-snow capability
- ✓A long effective edge handles short turns through long turns in balance
- ✓Turn entry is smooth, producing a heavy cutting feel
What the review found lacking
- —Specialised for carving, giving it limited versatility
- —Stiff torsion makes fine edge adjustment harder than on the Symarc
- —Performance doesn't come out unless your back-foot position is set
- —Weak capability in freestyle and switch riding
