8/6/2023 0 Comments Yes typo 159![]() It feels like it must be a bit softer/springier tip/tail than the middle of the board. It's one of the better all-mountain boards for jibbing. This is something that I feel comfortable jibbing on - and I'm not that strong a jibber. Great for spins - decent pop, the board gets around easy and lands and takes off in switch well. Probably nit-picking a little to drop 1/2 point vs the Basic - feels pretty much the same riding switch. Small jumps: Small and medium jumps are it's sweetspot.Īlmost as good going either direction. Side-hits: Really nice on side hits - nice and nimble with decent/easily accessible pop and good for spins. Not an out and out stomper and most suited to small to medium jumps rather than large jumps but good nonetheless. ![]() And, like the Basic, that pop was really easy to extract.Īpproach: Nice and nimble for approaches to tricker side hits and stable enough for the approach to small and medium jumps in particular - and even large jumps to an extent. Pop: There's a decent amount of pop without it being anything crazy - but just a little more than the Basic, I felt. As good for small jumps as Basic, but that little bit better for medium jumps. Overall a good little jumper for small to medium jumps. Really good going over bumps or crud and really nimble to go around bumpy terrain too. A little more stable/smooth at speed vs the Basic. Not a bomber, but felt smooth enough at speed. Skidded Turns: Easy to skid turns on - which is what makes it decent for beginners as well. Smooth or snappy: It's more smooth than snappy. Really fun board when you want to do lots of short sharp turns - and easily maneuvers through trees. Maneuverability at slow speeds: Super nimble at slow speeds. Turns and carves are smooth and even though, without being overly dynamic. Carving & TurningĬarving: You can lay a carve on it, but it's not a super aggressive/big carver. Just a little better than what you get from the Basic. And from then it's OK in powder without being special in powder. Powderĭidn't have any powder when I rode the 2020 model, but I did when I rode the 2018 model 2 season's back. So the basic is Typo is basically bang on average. *based on a small sample size of 51 boards that I've weighed in 20 models. So, long story short – if you’re looking for an all-mountain board that can jib and ride switch better than most all-mountain boards or an all-mountain-freestyle board that’s better in powder than most all-mountain-freestyle boards, then the Typo is probably the perfect board for you. Which kind of makes this board part way between an all-mountain and an all-mountain-freestyle. Both boards are very similar for jibbing and jumps. But not quite as easy to ride switch on – but still pretty good for switch (better than most all-mountain boards). ![]() However, the stance is setback a little and it has a sintered spec base (cross between an extruded and a sintered base) in place of the extruded base on the Basic.Īll of this makes the Typo faster, a little better in powder and a slightly better carver than the Basic. ![]() It also has the same sidecut radius, the same effective edge and the same length options (except that the Basic has a 143 and 146cm option that the Typo doesn’t). It has the same shape and core and a similar flex (slightly stiffer but not by heaps). In a lot of ways The Typo is the all-mountain version of the YES Basic (which is a freestyle deck). ![]()
