This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
A really fun turning powder twin that also has a groomer and mountain freestyle taste to it. The mellow camber increases float in powder and it is very forgiving when you skid a turn.
It seems to want to be ridden a little wider than you normally would, to get more float from a centred stance in powder.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A directional twin like the brand's all-mountain twin but with a longer nose and tail and less camber. The camber is really mellow to increase float in powder without giving up on groomers.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Medium-stiff underfoot, medium in the nose, somewhere in between in the tail. Pretty easy to butter.

25/26 season review
An all-mountain powder twin that delivers strong grip and high-speed stability on groomers and ice through a camber-based hybrid construction and Traction Tech. Rockered tips and tail give it playfulness too, letting it handle varied terrain including carving, freestyle and powder.
Its somewhat stiff flex makes it unsuitable for moguls or beginners, and it's optimised for intermediate and above riders enjoying varied terrain at speed.

Hybrid camber
Camber starts from outside the inserts, with rocker applied at the nose and tail — a hybrid camber construction. It feels like a true twin while a directional twin sidecut gives it slight setback and taper.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Stiffer than expected, with high torsional stiffness that favours high-speed riding and big jumps. Rockered tip and tail keep some jibby feel intact.

Intermediate · Advanced
High torsional stiffness, excellent high-speed stability and a flex stiffer than expected suit intermediate to advanced riders rather than beginners. It demands the ability to handle speed and varied terrain.
What the review liked
- ✓Traction Tech provides excellent grip on ice and hardpack
- ✓Outstanding high-speed stability, and you can lay the board over deep when carving
- ✓Rockered tips and tail allow powder float and playful riding
- ✓Versatile across varied terrain including groomers, powder and tree runs
- ✓A very fast base
What the review found lacking
- —Control is difficult on terrain requiring low speed, such as moguls
- —The stiff flex makes crusty, highly variable snow somewhat hard work
- —The wide platform feels slightly awkward when one-footing
