Roxy Envi C2 BTX Snowboard Review

2009 and 2010 Good Wood Award Winner
Intermediate to Expert All Mountain
Hybrid Rocker Directional Twin
The Roxy Envi is a another board from Merivn that has a slight variation from Gnu and Lib Tech in design.  The 2010 BTX is really fun in the pipe and park but it had some minor issues when it came to all mountain and all condition dominance.  In 2011 we were glad to see the Eminence go to C2 BTX. It still has some minor issues with flatbasing and stability at speed when the conditions are less than ideal/firm but for the most part this is a really fun board. For 2012 The Envi is still pretty much the same board as 2011 with just a few minor refinement. If you ride the whole mountain and can get over the ultra loose feel on hard pack you might be really happy.  The Envi rocks powder and is border line excellent if you like to ride powder with a centered stance.   So this is a really fun board in powder/good condtions and acts loose but has great edge hold in hard pack conditions.  Of all the C2 BTX boards it's one of the less loose though and getting better every year.

The Good Ride Take


 

The Good Ride Take on Hybrid Rocker Snowboards
Hybrid-Rocker-Description

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.

I bought a board last season the got average reviews from goodride. I didn't realize how right on they are! I returned that board and instead bought the Envi. The review is right on. It fits my needs much better.
