Expert reviews 2
A good-value all-mountain freestyle twin focused on forgiveness and fun. Buttering and ollies come easily in soft snow and switch riding feels natural. Ice edge hold and powder capability are weak, so it's fairly condition-dependent.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid construction where mellow camber runs just past the inserts and then transitions into a considerable amount of rocker out to the tip and tail. It creates a stable yet forgiving character.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. An improved core makes it bend readily while snapback stays alive. That said, pop is weaker than on Capita's other models.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Forgiving enough for beginners to approach, and advanced riders can enjoy it for freestyle. A good-value twin covering a broad range of ability.
Good
- ✓Provides a forgiving ride with no edge catch
- ✓Buttering and ollies are very easy
- ✓Good capability on choppy snow
- ✓The true twin makes switch riding fun, and base glide is respectable
Not so good
- —Insufficient edge hold on hardpack and ice
- —It deflects badly in wet, heavy spring snow
- —Weaker pop than other Capita models
- —No setback, making powder hard to handle
A highly versatile board with a hybrid camber construction and medium flex, covering everything from advanced beginners to expert riders. Dual carbon boosters greatly strengthen pop and power in the nose and tail while keeping the torsional character smooth and predictable, delivering excellent performance in both park and all-mountain riding. It's a balanced option for riders who enjoy all-mountain, park and powder alike.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A profile with camber through the middle and rocker blended at the nose and tail tips. It provides pop and power between the feet, while the tip rocker supports a catch-free feel and buoyancy in powder.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex suited to a wide range of riders. It has a soft, predictable torsional response, with dual carbon boosters reinforcing pop and power.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It suits a broad range, from higher-end beginners through intermediates to advanced riders. A soft, predictable feel aids progression, while dual carbon boosters also meet advanced riders' park needs.
Good
- ✓Dual carbon boosters greatly improve pop and power in the nose and tail
- ✓The medium flex and slightly directional twin shape give it high versatility
- ✓Catch-free rockered nose and tail provide a predictable feel that even beginners can handle
- ✓The SuperDrive ADV extruded base is fast, durable and easy to maintain
Not so good
- —Edge hold and carving performance are somewhat limited compared with traditional camber
- —The slight directionality rather than a full twin may make it less than optimal for pure park/freestyle riders
