Expert reviews 1
A powder and backcountry freeriding board designed by Travis Rice, delivering powder float, agile turns and stable landings all at once through its C2X hybrid profile and Magnetraction edges. Despite the somewhat wide board width, it remains manageable enough in bumpy terrain, and its stiffness keeps stability high even on steep sections. It's strongly recommended for intermediate and above riders who enjoy freeriding and backcountry.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
A C2X profile with camber underfoot and rocker blended at the tips. The camber provides pop and stability while the rocker aids quick steering and floating in powder.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Comparatively high stiffness, providing stability on steep terrain and drop landings, with ample support in the tail too.
Where it shines
Who it suits
With a degree of stiffness and specialisation for backcountry and powder freeriding, it suits intermediate and above riders rather than beginners. A high-performance freeride board designed by Travis Rice.
Good
- ✓Excellent float in powder allows balanced weight distribution
- ✓The C2X profile enables fast, agile turns in tight spaces such as between trees
- ✓Magnetraction edges deliver excellent grip on traverses and variable snow
- ✓The camber underfoot structure helps generate pop off natural terrain and supports soft landings
Not so good
- —The wide board width can make it somewhat harder to handle in bumps and moguls
- —It's specialised for freeriding rather than park or ground tricks, so it isn't suitable for park riders
