26/27 · 25/26 · 24/25 season review
A directional all-mountain board with excellent pop and carving dynamism. The reviewer rated its turn feel and versatility highly enough to say it pushed the BSOD off their all-mountain preference list.
Its stiff flex makes it a board for advanced riders.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A construction with a healthy camber arch at the centre and considerable early rise just before the nose and tail. It strikes a balance between locked-in responsiveness and forgiveness.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-stiff flex at 8 out of 10. It's especially stiff between the feet, the nose is soft enough to butter and the tail is very stiff.

Advanced
For advanced to expert riders. With the right size a motivated intermediate can ride it, but you have to be able to load its stiff flex.
