Expert reviews 1
A 3BT-based mountain freestyle board with particularly strong pop. Its forgiveness, buttering and switch performance suit air-trick-focused riding well. Hardpack edge hold and irregular-snow capability are weak, though, so it depends on conditions.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
A hybrid camber applying 3BT (Triple Base Technology), with camber on the high side by industry standards. The 3BT lifts the edges considerably, so at first it feels like it slips as though it has no edge, but once you adapt that becomes forgiveness.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. Carbon inserts and high camber give it very strong pop-back.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Forgiving enough to cover a broad range of ability, but it only performs when you use centre-weighted turns. Intermediates and up who understand 3BT's character benefit most.
Good
- ✓Surprisingly strong pop that springs you up
- ✓Forgiving and playful
- ✓Buttering is easy
- ✓Outstanding switch performance, making it strong for air tricks
Not so good
- —Limited edge hold on hardpack
- —It bounces badly on soft, irregular snow
- —There's a learning curve adapting to 3BT
- —Not suited to aggressive carving
