The asymmetrical shape is designed to match the different mechanics of your heel-side and toe-side turns. By using a shorter, deeper sidecut on the heel edge, it makes initiating turns on your heels feel more natural and less strenuous, resulting in a more balanced, intuitive ride.

With a flex rating of 4, this is a medium-soft board that prioritizes playfulness and freestyle progression over pure carving stiffness. While the sintered base and carbon power bands provide good speed and pop, it is better suited for all-mountain cruising and park laps than for aggressive, high-speed carving on ice.

The C2x profile features rocker between your feet with camber underfoot, which gives you the float you need in soft snow. It provides enough lift to keep the nose up in powder while maintaining the stability and edge hold required for groomed runs.

While it is forgiving enough for an ambitious beginner, this board is really built for intermediate riders looking to advance their freestyle skills. Its responsive nature and carbon reinforcements are best appreciated by someone who is already comfortable linking turns and is ready to start exploring park features.

Yes, a sintered base is porous and absorbs wax much better than an extruded base, but it does require regular waxing to stay fast. If you let it dry out, it will lose its speed and glide, so plan on tuning it every few trips to keep it performing at its best.
