The Good Ride TakeThe Rossignol Krypto Review by The Good RideSize 163 Here is a video of us taking the Krypto out for a few days in varied conditions
Groomers- The Krypto is a super fun groomer board if you like to ride good foot foward and carve or bomb the mountain. It's especially fun on those top to bottom runs that provide a lot of speed. What we liked is the Krypto isn't terrible when the groomers get rutted up or choppy. It's a lot easier than the Jones Flagship here and a little bit easier than the Experience. Understand none of these boards are anywhere close to ideal when it's choppy so think twice if you spend a lot of time on well tracked groomed runs. All these boards are made for nice groomers and powder.
Powder- Pretty awesome. Most of us would have liked to see a little more float but the Krpyto was pretty awesome. If you like the camber type of ride in powder you will be pretty happy because it does that with a little more float. We felt that both it's cousins the Jones Flagship and Experience were a little better when it came to powder riding.
Turn Initiation/Carving- The Krypto is easier than it looks when it comes to quick turns. It still takes a little work but it's there when you need it. It has that steep slidey feel that both the Jones and Flagship feel that isn't off the tail super surfy but it's still pretty fun. When it comes to carving the Krypto is super fun we had a lot of fun laying into hard carves on good to firm snow. Weight- Not heavy or light Edge Hold- If you ride in icy conditions the Krypto has amazing edge hold. The grip felt limitless in almost any terrain. As usual with this kind of side cut it felt overly grippy when it came to softer thicker snow. Flex- This is a softer flex than the Experience but it's still not soft.....especially tortionally.
The rest doesn't matter too much because this is a freeride board. It can hang in the pipe and of course this is a great natural terrain jump board that has some pretty good pop. If you feel like the Experience and expecially the Jones are too much board but like the idea of them then Krypo is a great call. It's going to be more forgiving but still offer a very similar ride. All of us had a good time on the Krypto and our only complaint is it took just a little more work in powder than the Flagship and Experience. A Quick Look at the 2012 Rossignol Krypto

Company InformationRossignol Krypto 2012 DescriptionMaybe sometimes you need a break from 40º pitches and 4ft of fresh pow in AK and just want to ride all day like a mere mortal. Or maybe some days you just want to cruise around on 14º pitches and 14in of packed pow at your home mountain. With this in mind we introduce the Krypto MagTek. Grown from the same seed as the Experience MagTek, the Krypto MagTek's balanced, forgiving flex and full wood core goes down smooth every time you hit it.
