B1P
25/26 season
Expert reviews 1
A racing-only board from Donek Snowboards that delivers powerful carving performance and high-speed stability through a very hard flex (on the stiffest 167 wide model) and a large sidecut radius. It recorded 45.9 mph even unwaxed, and its excellent damping handles jump landings smoothly. It comes strongly recommended to experienced riders who want racing or high-speed carving.

StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Donek's hardest model based on the 167 wide, with a very stiff flex. It's optimised for high-speed stability and powerful edge hold; lighter riders are advised toward the soft model.
