Expert reviews 1
A directional board bridging freeride and all-mountain. Edge hold, high-speed stability and glide are its strengths, and improved setback has made powder float better too. It suits advanced riders who want aggressive carving; if switch riding is a big part of your day, other options are better.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A directional camber running from a flat section toward the tail into early rise just before the nose. Setback was improved in recent seasons, bettering powder float.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6.5 out of 10. Edge hold and stability are good, and pop and carving response stay alive.
Where it shines
Who it suits
For advanced to expert riders. It doesn't suit intermediates who need to skid and slide, and it performs for riders who commit and drive it.
Good
- ✓Strong edge hold and stable at speed
- ✓Fast base glide
- ✓Good pop and carving responsiveness
- ✓Usable as a one-board quiver bridging freeride and all-mountain
Not so good
- —Some reviewers say the heavy base structure makes the glide feel less smooth
- —The recent topsheet change makes it deflect more on irregular snow
- —The directional shape limits switch performance
- —Unsuitable for intermediates who need to skid turns
