This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Rome Ravine is a soft, playful directional board offered as an alternative to stiff traditional freeride boards. Turn feel and edge hold on soft snow are good and it handles switch to a degree.
It isn't a fit if you want a freeride machine to push with speed.
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 camber with the nose sides lifted and early rise applied. The lifted nose sides aid float and turn initiation in soft snow. It's a tapered directional shape.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. Soft and playful, with a good balance between rubbery butteriness and pop.
