Burton Deja Vu V-Rocker Snowboard Review

Intermediate to Expert Freestyle
Hybrid Rocker Directional Twin
The Burton Deja Vu Rocker arrived in 2011 and stuck around for 2012.  If you want something even more mellow and powder friendly than the Burton Deja Vu Camber then here is the best option for you.  The Deja Vu is more all mountain than the the continuous rocker Burton's but much more of a mellow freestyle ride compared to the Deja Vu Camber.  The Deja Vu Flying V will make a powder day very easy compared to the Camber version.  It's also much more buttery and playful.  When you start to pick up speed though the chatter will be much more prevalent.  It would be fun to have the rocker for powder or soft conditions and the camber for more aggressive riding moods and harder conditions.  It would be ideal if Burton could make one board that would combine the positives of each but that hasn't really happened with any company yet.  So it's really pick your favorite positives and try to minimize the most annoying negatives.

The Good Ride Take

Here is what most people are doing with hybrid rocker.  There is rocker in the middle and then the camber doesn't make it all the way back down.

Hybrid-Camber-Description

As you can see with Burton there is one more rocker bend than the hybrid Rocker most people have out there.

 

The Good Ride Take on Hybrid Rocker Snowboards

This is what we call a snowboard that has rocker in the center and then a camber bend at the tip and tail.  The end result is the tip and tail are still off the ground but it helps bring some good qualities that people liked with camber to rocker. The camber usually keep’s the board from washing out when you lay into a harder carve and for the most part provide a more balanced all conditions ride compared to continuous rocker or camber. This is still nothing like camber board and it provides a loose forgiving catch free ride. Hybrid Rocker comes in all riding styles from Freestyle to Freeride and is a solid next step from where it started with continuous rocker. Hybrid Rocker is usually pretty poppy, floats well in powder, catch free and very forgiving. The one complaint is it can still be unstable flat basing or one footing in some conditions like hard pack or ice. The major companies are working on this problem and it’s been getting better since this was introduced. Most love this loose feeling and get use to the squirrely nature in certain conditions. We at The Good Ride feel this is one of the better shapes out there so give it a try.

The Good Ride Take on Burton

Burton is huge. They have developed or acquired most of the technology that we use today. Burton is one of the only companies that can provide you with everything you need to snowboard from boards to beanies.  Burton even owns arguably the best surfboard company Channel Islands because Jake likes to surf.  They are like the Yankees of snowboarding because they can always outspend their competition to win.

The positives- Burton provides more products for each gear/clothing/accessory category than any other company.  Burton has possibly the best customer service in the snowboarding industry.  Burton continuously spends more money than almost any company to develop new tech or just make what they have better.   Burton sponsors more pro’s and get’s more high level user feed back than any other company.  They have some of the best boots, bindings and boards in the industry.  They also have great clothing.

The Negatives- Because Burton spends so much money on sponsorship and tech they have to pass this cost along to the products they sell.   They relentlessly continue to jack up the prices every year.  You are almost always going to get a good product from Burton’s higher end line but some mid to low level products don’t stack up to the competition in the same price range.   Just remember it’s not always good because it hast the Burton label on it.
