Xavier’s turns are characteristic: they’re fast, rare and driven from his strong front foot. For those who ride steeps at speed, the XV’s aggressive, front-foot dominant flex pattern is ideal. Reverse Super Directional Flex pinpoints power and stiffness at the front inserts, with a mellow tail and medium-stiff equilibrium for balance. The unique flex pattern is complemented by a setback stance, directional nose and slightly stubby, concave tail for increased precision on precipitous terrain. The mid-section consists of traditional camber, which combines with rocker at the tip and tail for additional responsiveness. Magne-traction grips wily faces and the split-specific core and sidewall construction yield multi-season longevity.
