Good Features
This mid wide board is good for rides who don't want to deal with any more toe drag. The size underneath really allows the rider to push this board further then you would expect. If you are riding on the east coast Burton has given this board their new ice-gripping edge technology to cut through that east coast ice. The wider board also allows you to stomp those landings with more ease then if you were riding a narrower board.
Bad Features
No real gripes about the board, it rides nice and solid. If you plan on riding tons of powder this winter you may want to step it up a bit.
Recommended Alternatives
Not ready for the mid fat you can check out the narrower X.8 Burton board. |

From Sun and Ski:
A mid-wide legend in the making, the Royale knows that a wider waist width makes the difference between merely riding and truly raging. Not only will you experience carves without the bite of your boots toes and heels, but the Royales added under-feet meat creates more stability for stomping airs and getting tech on rails. Now upgraded with the worlds most advanced ice-gripping edge technology. Feel: 5 Sizes: 154cm 158cm 162cm 166cm Was this useful? Yes | No |
