Expert reviews 1
A women's all-mountain board putting a directional twin on continuous rocker. The rocker keeps it catch-free while enough flex lets it hold up at speed, and turning, slashing and tree runs are its strengths. Pop is lacking and low-speed agility falls off, though, so it isn't for the park. It suits upper-intermediate riders who want one board for a range of conditions.
Base shape (camber)
Rocker
Continuous rocker from tip to tail with a directional twin shape. It's catch-free and forgiving, yet the flex isn't mushy, so it's stable for a rocker board. It uses a sintered base.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. Stiff for a rocker profile, so low-speed agility and presses take effort. In exchange, it holds up as speed builds.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Being a rocker it looks forgiving, but it has real flex resistance, so it isn't recommended for beginners. It's for intermediate to advanced women riders wanting one board for varied snow.
Good
- ✓Versatility across snow conditions is its strength (14th of 25 women's all-mountain boards, 83.7/100)
- ✓Good turning and slashing (4/5)
- ✓It handles trees and bumps well (4/5)
- ✓Stable cruising groomed slopes and passing through chopped-up snow
Not so good
- —Lacks the pop for jumps
- —Low-speed agility falls off, so it isn't suited to park or jibbing
- —Butter presses take effort
- —Powder is unremarkable (3/5)
