25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
An all-mountain board that combines traditional camber with 3-degree fenders and Grip Tech 2.25 to deliver aggressive performance and smooth handling at once. A medium flex and mixed glassing let it cover the whole mountain from park to powder, making it an option optimised for progression from advanced beginner through intermediate.
It's a good-value board that gives budget-conscious advanced riders plenty of performance too.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
A traditional camber profile with the middle of the board arched upward, and 3-degree fenders applied at the contact point tips — a three-dimensional shape that reduces edge catch and supports smooth edge transitions.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex where triaxial and biaxial glassing are mixed to provide a soft, smooth feel alongside quick responsiveness. It's versatile enough for a range of rider levels.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
Its main target is higher-end beginners through intermediates, and it also suits advanced riders on a budget — an all-round board. It's recommended for riders with some fundamentals rather than complete beginners.
What the review liked
- ✓Grip Tech 2.25 delivers excellent edge grip on icy snow compared with boards of the same flex
