Product Overview
Piste — 8.5/10
As soon as I got on this board it felt stable and controllable at all speeds. On previous boards I’d been struggling on piste to keep up with bulkier riders. This board enabled me to keep up and overtake them with ease. A surprising bonus for a board not overly marketed as a piste slayer. It makes me wonder how amazing the more carving centric models would be.
It has a nice torsional flex that enables easy foot steering yet a solid longitudinal flex where I presume it derives it’s great carving capabilities. It just wants to carve and eat up the pistes at speed.
Even with the setback and short kick to the tail switch riding is easy. For shorter radius turns on steep terrain switch can feel easier than normal due to the small tail. For tighter short radius turns in your normal stance you’ll need to open up the turn shape to accommodate the larger nose volume.
Powder — 8.5/10
It floats in pow with ease. The large nose volume combined with the setback means it requires very little effort to float the board. You can pretty much ride the board in a normal stance with maybe a 10% bias to the back foot, if that.
