Expert reviews 1
The Rome Ravine is a soft, playful directional board offered as an alternative to stiff traditional freeride boards. Turn feel and edge hold on soft snow are good and it handles switch to a degree. It isn't a fit if you want a freeride machine to push with speed.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A directional camber with the nose sides lifted and early rise applied. The lifted nose sides aid float and turn initiation in soft snow. It's a tapered directional shape.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. Soft and playful, with a good balance between rubbery butteriness and pop.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Aimed at advanced and expert riders. It's soft enough to be accessible, but using the tapered directional shape properly takes experience.
Good
- ✓A soft, playful directional one-board-quiver character
- ✓The lifted nose sides make turns come around well on soft snow
- ✓Excellent edge hold despite a medium flex
- ✓Good switch capability for a tapered board
Not so good
- —Nose butters wash out on medium-to-hard snow
- —Not suited to charging down at speed or aggressive carving
- —Some chatter on rough snow
