24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A directional all-mountain board with excellent pop, edge grip and durability from a full camber construction and a hardwood-plus-carbon core. Its stiff flex and core-rider design optimise it for advanced-intermediate and above hard riders, and it's usable versatilely from park jumps to tree runs and groomer carving.
As the work of a Forum brand relaunched after a long absence, it successfully realises high build quality and a traditional riding feel.
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.
Camber
A traditional full camber construction with slight zero-camber sections at both ends but no early rise. It provides strong pop and strong edge grip on turn entry, along with a cushioning effect on landings.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A stiff, decidedly non-soft flex, with quite stiff tip and tail. Built with a poplar-beech hardwood core and carbon stringers, it has high durability that keeps the same feel even after 100 days, and while stiff it isn't hard to ride.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
A full camber construction and high stiffness make it unsuitable for beginners; it's a board optimised for upper intermediates and above, especially core riders who enjoy hard riding.
