26/27 season review

The Good RideRead source
#carving#powder

A directional camber all-mountain freeride board with 6 mm of taper. The 26/27 version got lighter with more pop, making turn initiation clearly faster, and carving and high-speed stability are its strengths.

There's only one rear setback insert, though, so powder setup options are narrow and the stance sits wide. It suits upper-intermediate riders looking for one responsive freeride board.

A closer look

These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.

Board profile

The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.

Directional camber

A directional camber with only 6mm of taper, close to a traditional freeride character. It's relatively soft between the feet, so carving comes out playfully. The 26/27 model is lighter with more pop than its predecessor.

How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.

5/10

A medium flex overall, but softer between the feet. That makes turns lively, and Antiphase damping kills chatter well.

Rider levels suggested in the review

Intermediate · Advanced

An all-mountain freeride platform with high-speed stability and carving response, fitting broadly from intermediates to experts. That said, the wide reference stance can be uncomfortable for shorter riders or those who use a narrow stance.

What the review liked

  • ✓Lighter than its predecessor with better pop and faster turn initiation
  • ✓Excellent carving (4/5)
  • ✓Antiphase kills chatter well on chopped-up snow
  • ✓A fast base that takes wax well

What the review found lacking

  • —Only one rear setback insert, limiting setback adjustment for mellow-pitch powder
  • —The stance sits wide, which is awkward for riders who prefer narrow
  • —Not suited to jibbing (2.5/5)
