Expert reviews 2
An all-mountain board that combines traditional camber with 3-degree fenders and Grip Tech 2.25 to deliver aggressive performance and smooth handling at once. A medium flex and mixed glassing let it cover the whole mountain from park to powder, making it an option optimised for progression from advanced beginner through intermediate. It's a good-value board that gives budget-conscious advanced riders plenty of performance too.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
A traditional camber profile with the middle of the board arched upward, and 3-degree fenders applied at the contact point tips — a three-dimensional shape that reduces edge catch and supports smooth edge transitions.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex where triaxial and biaxial glassing are mixed to provide a soft, smooth feel alongside quick responsiveness. It's versatile enough for a range of rider levels.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Its main target is higher-end beginners through intermediates, and it also suits advanced riders on a budget — an all-round board. It's recommended for riders with some fundamentals rather than complete beginners.
Good
- ✓Grip Tech 2.25 delivers excellent edge grip on icy snow compared with boards of the same flex
- ✓The 3-degree fenders provide a catch-free feel and smooth edge transitions while improving powder float
- ✓The hand-dyed ash Power Ply topsheet strengthens pop, power and stability
- ✓The directional twin shape handles both regular and switch riding naturally
Not so good
- —Less specialised than dedicated boards for pro park riders or hardcore powder riders
- —The camber character can be somewhat hard to handle for a complete beginner
