what snowboard brand is better?

Question

out of these brands which one is better... GNU, Ride, Burton, Flow, Rome, Forum, Nitro, or K2.. please tell me your reasoning for why this board is better

Answer 1

None are better than the others. Each company has its strengths and weaknesses with their products. It depends what your looking for and what style and feel you like.

Answer 2

All these brands are great and this is just my opinion but..

1. Gnu makes best boards

2. Rome makes best bindings and good boards

3. Flow makes super bindings but boards are so so

4. Burton is good all around but a little overpriced

5. Ride bindings are great but their boards aren't so terrific (except DH2 and machette)

6. K2 has a few good things such as WWW but in my opinion they aren't as good as the brands above

7. Nitro and Forum I don't know much about haha sorry

Answer 3

Hi,



Those are great brands, but each of them produces boards from low to high end. The truth is that you will be able to find a great board from each of those brands for your specs...and some very poor choices from each as well. No one model is correct for every rider. The best way to start would be to post up you weight, foot size, experience level, where you ride, what type of riding you do. Then we can all make some informed suggestions.



Thanks!

Answer 4

Gnu makes a higher quality board than the other brands that you listed. I wouldn't spend money for something other than Gnu if it is available.

Answer 5

GNU is the best you have listed. Unmatched edgehold from magntraction, and Camber/rocker (c2 btx) gives you the best of both worlds. Plus they're hand pressed in the USA by snowboarders for snowboarders. Just about everybody elses stuff is made overseas

Answer 6

Idk, those are all killer brands. Out of them I would choose GNU for boards, Nitro for boots, and Rome for Bindings...
