16/17 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A carving-specialised directional board carrying VSR (variable sidecut radius) technology that delivers outstanding carving performance even with a soft-boot setup. Its setback stance and long nose make it respectable in powder too, but it isn't suited to switch riding or freestyle.
It comes strongly recommended to intermediate and above riders who put carving first.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Directional camber
A directional board with VSR (Variable Sidecut Radius) technology: the sidecut starts at a 9m radius at the nose and widens gradually to 11m toward the tail. A free-carving-focused design with a directional shape and a setback stance.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
No explicit flex figure is given, but as part of the VSR board family used by alpine and boardercross racers, it has a comparatively stiff, carving-specialised flex.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
It delivers excellent carving performance even in a soft-boot setup, but the VSR and directional shape make switch riding difficult and limit freestyle elements, so it suits intermediates and up focused on carving.
