Expert reviews 2
Ogasaka's CT-Twin is a carving-oriented twin that, through a full model change for the 2023-24 season, adopts a distinctive reversed triple sidecurve — small radius at nose and tail, large radius in the centre — realising fast turn transitions and underfoot stability at once. Rather than staying park-only, it's an all-round twin that can handle freeriding and carving broadly, and it takes to switch riding naturally too. If you choose it understanding its distinctive sidecurve design, it's a model that provides high satisfaction to intermediate and above riders.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
No camber type is stated directly, but it adopts a triple sidecut (8200 at the ends, 8900 in the middle), giving a distinctive construction with pinched nose and tail sections and a mellow centre underfoot — a design balancing underfoot stability with quick turn in and out.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Unlike soft park twins, this twin has a degree of power and stiffness, with a medium to medium-hard flex that provides solid stability underfoot.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Turn entry and exit are very quick and it has stability underfoot, suiting intermediate and above riders. It's recommended for riders who actively enjoy carving and switch riding, while beginners may find the quick turn response hard to handle.
Good
- ✓The reversed triple sidecurve design (small radius at nose and tail, large radius in the centre) makes turn in and out happen very fast
- ✓A centre sidecurve radius of 8900 underfoot (at 156cm) secures stability around the stance
- ✓The twin shape lets you ride switch naturally with no sense of oddness
- ✓A balanced all-round twin that can handle both carving and freeriding
Not so good
- —Unlike typical park twins, the planted stability in fakie riding and on landings can be relatively lower
- —The intent of the reversed triple sidecurve design isn't clearly published, so understanding its character needs care
- —For riders expecting a typical park-only twin, there can be a gap between its actual character and the image
