Torque Snowboards

Took a chance with Torque after not previously having heard of them and only a few reviews on their website, and I have to say that I was not disappointed in the slightest!

I ordered a large all mountain board in 161cm because I was curious to try out a camrock profile board. I've been riding camber boards for many years but still occasionally catch an edge occasionally when trying to do anything but carve in wide open trails. I'd like to blame my gear for not being very successful in sous bois but it's probably at least 70% rider skill in my case (lack thereof). I have been riding a rome anthem 159 for about 10 years now.

First thing that I noticed was that this board felt about 20% lighter than my anthem, which was appreciated on the chairlift up. It is also considerably more flexible between the feet, which had me worried at first. On the mountain however, the added flex did not translate into anything negative with respect to being able to carve or grab ice. I felt like I was slightly more agile on this board and turned better as well. It felt a bit slower on the straights but overall this seems to be a great all around configuration for Québec conditions.

I would have liked a slightly sharper edge from the factory and perhaps a few more graphics or color options, but neither of these are serious concerns by any measure.

I can definitely recommend Torque Snowboards

Great board and great service. I wanted a new board a day before going out west. The owner of the company personally brought it to me, super out of his way. Hard to find good service like this. The board is amazing! Highly recommended.
