Performance Review
First Impression. It sits right in that sweet spot of medium stiffness that allows for a surprising amount of pop without feeling like a plank. It felt comfortable immediately, especially when dropping into almost any sized park feature.
Edge Hold. It feels secure on the approach to jumps and maintains its line well through the transition. It doesn’t feel catchy, but it has enough bite to handle the firm morning conditions often found in the park and general cruising.
Edge Transition. With its medium torsional flex, the board is easy to maneuver. It moves between edges with a predictable rhythm that makes it easy to set your line for a feature or navigate through a crowded park lap.
Drive // Pop. The pop on this board is powerful. The medium flex allows you to load it up easily, and helps you boost off lips and rollers. It carries momentum well, making it feel energetic from one feature to the next.
Nimbleness & Predictability. It behaves exactly how you’d expect an all-around park board to—nimble enough for technical adjustments but stable enough to keep you on your feet.
Stability at Speed. It’s great for riding off jumps, providing plenty of pop on the takeoff while remaining damp enough to absorb heavy landings.
Fun Factor. The fun comes from the balance. It has the right mix of stiffness for power and playfulness for creativity. It’s the kind of board that allows any rider to have a good time because it doesn’t limit you to just one style of riding.
The Deep Dive
Overall Impression The Sensor is a versatile board that strikes a great balance for the modern freestyle rider. It isn’t too stiff to be intimidating, yet it isn’t so soft that it folds under pressure. It provides a powerful pop and a reliable landing platform, making it a “do-it-all” board for all mountain.
Who is this board for? The Sensor is a great all-arounder that provides the stability and pop necessary for progressive park riding. It’s a dependable workhorse that ensures you’ll have a good time regardless of the feature in front of you.
