Expert reviews 2
A directional all-mountain board for riders with big feet, built around a Cruise Camber profile that combines nose rocker with camber. Excellent damping, stability and an approachable mid flex give you a smooth, dependable ride in varied snow conditions, with carving standing out in particular. It comes strongly recommended to intermediate and advanced big-footed riders who value consistency and stability over explosive pop or park performance.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A Cruise Camber profile with rocker at the nose and camber through the rest. The nose rocker eases turn entry and exit and assists powder float, while the camber section provides load, pop, snap and drive.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A directional mid flex: a soft nose stiffening progressively toward the tail. Torsional flex engages easily while snap and responsiveness stay alive. Despite the wide platform it isn't stiff, boasting an unusually approachable flex.
Where it shines
Who it suits
An approachable, accommodating flex makes it easy for intermediates to handle, while aggressive carving and driving are also possible, so it suits advanced riders too. That said, complete beginners may struggle to make full use of its characteristics.
Good
- ✓Excellent damping soaks up vibration on ice patches, death cookies and other rough snow for a smooth, stable ride
- ✓A wide 27.6 mm waist lets big-footed riders lock in an edge without booting out
- ✓Handles carving styles from short, tight turns to deep, aggressive ones
- ✓Predictable, consistent pop and rebound from the camber
Not so good
- —Don't expect top-level snap and pop — it's focused on consistency rather than explosiveness
- —Park and freestyle trick performance isn't this board's strength
