Expert reviews 1
A multi-purpose board using directional combination camber, with a forgiving, playful character optimised for park beginners and first-year riders. A sintered base gives it excellent durability and a traditional snowboard feel, and riders with big feet should pick the wide version. It shows some limits in extreme conditions, but overall it's a well-balanced all-rounder.
Base shape (camber)
Directional camber
A directional combination camber: rocker at the nose and tail tips minimises edge catch, while camber between the feet — set back toward the tail — provides a traditional snowboard feel.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A happy-medium board with a flex that is neither especially hard nor soft, with versatile characteristics covering both park and freeride.
Where it shines
Who it suits
It suits riders just starting in the park or with about a year of park riding. Its very forgiving, friendly character means intermediates can handle it without pressure, while advanced riders may find it somewhat ordinary.
Good
- ✓A very forgiving, friendly ride character makes it highly accessible
- ✓The sintered base delivers excellent durability and performance
- ✓Nose and tail rocker minimise edge catch and provide playful riding
- ✓Multi-purpose versatility spanning park and all-mountain
Not so good
- —The regular 162 may be too narrow for riders with wide feet (US 10 and above)
- —The nose and tail tend to become unstable (squirrelly) in slushy, bumpy snow
