Burton Freebird - 2012
stats:
Designed to run on the Voile Split Decision touring package, the Freebird is Burtons only splitboard. Unlike a lot of split boards it is designed to be ridden at your standard all mountain length which is why it comes in the relatively short lengths of 158 and 162 cms. Features on the board include an extremely tight radius sidecut with Burton’s Side effects (elongated contact points) at the start and end of the effective edge. The Freebird also features S-Rocker for fluid, effortless powder riding with zero back leg burn.
Manufacturer's Description:
There’s only one first chair, and patrol owns it. Leave behind the cattle herd in the liftline. Save yourself the hassle of the sled and the gold card crowd with their cats and helis. Seek solitude and an untracked canvas with the Freebirdóthe latest advancement in splitboards. Rising to the top with S-Rocker™, tapered shaping, and Side Effects for enhanced floatation, the Freebird is more than just a choice; it’s a way of life.

Pros: The Freebird is a tree riders dream. It turns on a dime and handles any gnarly ride like a walk in the park.. The 162 felt smooth and managable in tight trees. It´s also stable on landnings.
Cons: handles tricky lines well as long as the trick is to manage tight spaces. Difficult snow is not this boards cup of tea.
Sum of things: great board for around the resort hikes. For big mountain missions I would go fo another board.
