26/27 · 25/26 · 24/25 season review
A new unisex board in the brand's premium line. It had loose turns and loose control — an extremely loose, playful ride that felt better at slower speeds with tighter, quicker turns.
Given the limited, smaller size options and the overall stiff feel, it is hard to promote as a true unisex board. A heavier rider would likely get better edge control and stability out of it.

Board profile

Hybrid camber
Mostly camber, yet it feels loose on snow. It works best at slower speeds with tight, quick turns.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
On the stiff side — lighter riders may struggle to work it.

Advanced
Advanced and up — it is billed as unisex, but limited sizes and a stiff feel make that hard to endorse.
What the review liked
- ✓An extremely loose, playful feel
- ✓Good at slower speeds with tight, quick turns
What the review found lacking
- —The looseness can make control difficult
- —Limited, smaller size options
- —Too stiff for lighter riders to work
26/27 · 25/26 season review
Grip is not its best quality, but in good conditions it has a very satisfying turn, and it is more than just a board for hard turns. It takes a little from a couple of the brand's older boards with a dash of something new, in a shorter, wider, more aggressive, stiffer, poppy, hard-driving shape that feels a little technical.
It could be a unique quiver addition or even a daily driver.

Directional camber
A set-back directional camber in a shorter, wider, more aggressive shape.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
On the stiff side — poppy and hard-driving.

Advanced
Advanced and up — it feels a little technical and needs handling.
What the review liked

- —A little technical, so not an easy ride
25/26 season review
An all-mountain powder-oriented board with strong traditional camber, a directional design (long nose, 18 mm taper, 12 mm setback) and a wide waist, and its carving performance stands out in particular. A medium-stiff-plus flex with a carbon layup adds strong pop and stability, suiting advanced riders while ruling out freestyle tricks.
Powder riding hasn't been tested yet, but the shape specs raise high expectations.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Directional camber
A full tip-to-tail traditional camber profile with very strong camber. A directional camber construction combined with a directional design (long nose, short tail, 18mm taper, 12mm setback), maximising carving and powder performance.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Clearly stiffer than medium both lengthwise and torsionally. Strong traditional camber plus a carbon layup provides very powerful, energetic response. Rebound is strong enough that buttering takes considerable force and weight shift.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
Strong traditional camber, a flex above medium-stiff and a wide waist mean controlling the board takes considerable skill. It demands an advanced level of riding sense, and even basic tricks such as buttering require plenty of force and focus.
What the review liked
- ✓Strong traditional camber and the carbon layup provide outstanding edge power, precision and pop when carving
- ✓The wide 26.9 cm waist and directional shape (taper, setback) maximise powder and carving performance
- ✓Excellent stability lets you ride confidently at speed and in rough snow conditions
- ✓The short tail improves pivoting and manoeuvrability in technical sections
What the review found lacking
- —Not suited to freestyle play such as buttering and ground tricks, which take a lot of effort
- —The wide 26.9 cm waist can change the carving feel considerably for riders below size 10.5
- —Very unsuited to park riding, with constraints from the directional shape
