24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Ride Berzerker is a high-performance advanced board with a Directional Extra Camber profile, holding strong pop, fast edge transitions and excellent carving ability. Its preference for always being on edge delivers outstanding performance in carving and all-mountain, but twitchy response and difficult buttering optimise it for advanced riders who enjoy technical terrain rather than beginners and intermediates.
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
It carries a Directional Extra Camber profile with camber running from under the front foot to the tail and a rocker section at the nose. The camber section provides drive, pop and precision, while the nose rocker provides float and ease of turn entry and exit.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A flex on the stiffer side of medium. Its directional flex makes the nose rocker feel comparatively soft, and the narrow width makes torsional foot steering relatively easy. Tail recovery is very strong, so buttering is demanding.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Advanced
Strong edge catch base-flat, twitchy response and quick edge transitions from its narrow width make it an advanced-only board suited to riders who enjoy technical terrain.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent carving performance — a narrow width makes edge-to-edge transitions very fast, maintaining high speed even in large carves
- ✓Strong pop and snap — immediate response makes getting into the air easy with excellent landing stability
- ✓High-speed stability and damping — stable on edge, storing energy and keeping the edge even in rough terrain such as moguls
What the review found lacking
- —Flat-base twitchiness — a strong tendency for the edge to catch when running flat makes it hard for beginners and intermediates to handle
- —High buttering difficulty — tail butters are very difficult and the nose butter sweet spot is narrow, limiting trick utility
- —Eurocarving constraints for larger feet — the narrow width causes drag in deep Eurocarves with boots size 10 and above
