Franco McGee 160 Snowboard Review 2018-2019
Description
TESTER: John Reed
BOARD: Franco McGee 160
OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM 1 TO 7: 6
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: I know this is a specific carving board, and it does carve very, very well.
WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: No complaints. It’s a bit wide for me to daily drive it, but I really liked it carving, and it was great down the granny chutes (I hit 0 rocks, Mike!). I did miss the taper and fell, but I think I’m just used to taper on boards like this. I love how the rear edge just keeps holding, and the width gave me plenty of room to just lean over.
OVERALL COMMENTS: I love it. I had talked to Mike McGee about his specs for Mikey, and I think Mikey totally nailed it. The board carves beautifully and the rest of it is totally dialed (flex/dampening).
