We had the opportunity to demo
this bike after a multi day powder dump at our favorite resort. We
demoed the bike on 12+ inches of packed powder, broken powder and first
tracks powder during the demo day. All we can say with a big grin on our
face is, that was sweet! The bike was incredible! We took a few runs to
get our hands around it. Most of us here at SkiBikeFun and our ridding
buds ride skibike
conversions on DH frames. None of us had personally ridden one of
these board bikes and was not sure what to think about them. The bike
was very intuitive and felt natural very fast. In just 3-4 runs, I was
able to comfortably take the bike down my normal terrain. The bike
just floated across the powder and allowed us to ride (more like fly
it!) it down stuff that was challenging most people for the day. The
bike is a stand up platform but don't let that deter you away. It was
the most fun we have had in a long time! We are very glad we tried
this one. On hard packed runs, you start to feel the big boards wander.
We would not want to imagine ridding these big board bikes on hard pack
snow, ice or such.
We have personally added one of these
bikes to our personal fleet. We liked it that much!
Apparently we in the US are the only people on this planet
that do not know about these bikes yet. Come see what I mean....read
This bike is targeted at the aggressive
park rider that hits it hard but you can just rip it down groomed
cruisers too. This bike is built to take some
punishment. With that said, this is also a bike that can grow with your
skills from novice to full expert. The bike is an incredible deep powder
bike!
Suggest a shorter, aggressive rider.
Shorter than 5'11".
