Artec Cipher , 2012

Description

The Cipher is where the Classic meets the Avante Garde of freestyle snowboard design, and the result sets the standard for versatile freestyle-focused high performance. Featuring our SuproTec wood core, TriTec sidewalls, and a super clean blunt twin tip shape; the Cipher has a buttery smooth on-snow feel. Our HyperTec Camber provides precision control and maximum pop for dynamic response in freestyle situations, while our AlphaTec base gives the Cipher lightning fast speed and toughness. Able to handle any conditions and terrain, the Cipher is the choice of Gus Engle when he’s doing his brand of gypsy-tech shredding and Kalle Ohlson when he’s out stomping big moves in the backcountry.

Strengths: Wide Stance Pattern. FUN to ride. Durable: 50+ days on it this season and the base hardly shows it. Floats in the powder. Butters have never been so easy. Cheap to buy. FUN to ride. Worth every penny and more that I paid for it. Did I mention it`s a really fun board to ride? Taps, Bonks, Butters, Presses, Spins, Switch.. All made easier on the this Board. (Reviewed in Whistler, Squaw Valley, Northstar, Alpine Meadows, and the Tahoe Backcountry)
Weaknesses: Not much pop. If you`re used to Cambered boards it takes some getting used to. In firm conditions High speed = Less Control
