Expert reviews 1
A directional all-mountain board that handles both fast resort riding and powder lines, with a camber profile and 3D technology combining to deliver strong pop, carving performance and powder float at once. The stiff nose and relatively soft tail balance stability against playfulness, but it's an advanced deck that needs a rider with enough power and technique to draw out its full performance. It handles superbly in variable snow and rough conditions, and it gives back in performance what you put in.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A directional camber built on a traditional camber profile with 3D uplift (rocker) technology at the nose and tail tips. 3D Sidekick contact points improve edge engagement and powder float.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A stiffness of 6 out of 10, on the firmer side. The nose is very stiff, providing stability and float, while the tail is comparatively soft, allowing pop and playful riding. Carbon stringers (Super Tubes) maintain overall stiffness while still permitting playfulness.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A 6/10 stiffness, high responsiveness and the riding style it demands make it hard for intermediates and below to handle. It suits advanced riders who can ride fast and put strong power in.
Good
- ✓Excellent high-speed stability, letting you ride through bumps and rough snow without deflection
- ✓Excellent carving performance with outstanding edge-to-edge responsiveness
- ✓The 3D uplifted nose secures float in varied conditions including powder and slush
- ✓Ollies and pop come easily, allowing creative riding
Not so good
- —The very stiff nose means nose press tricks require considerable leg power
- —The riding style it demands makes it a hard board for beginners and intermediates to handle
