The Curated Take
4.6/5
The Ride Berzerker Snowboard is ideal for hard-charging riders who seek a versatile, stable board for carving, deep powder, and all-mountain shredding. Its directional tapered shape and stiffer flex provide stability and effortless powder riding, while the quadratic sidecut and hybrid back seat camber profile allow for smooth, quick turns. The board's durability is enhanced by reinforced materials, making it a reliable choice for high-speed runs and various terrains. Although it's not the most playful due to its stiffness, it's a solid option for riders who want to push their limits across the mountain.

Expert Reviews of the Ride Berzerker Snowboard
Jared Manganelli The Ride Berzerker felt great during testing. While it's a directional tapered board meant for carving and deep powder, it had no problems feeling versatile all over the mountain. With the directional shape and taper in the tail, riders get a board that just wants to sink the tail into the snow and effortlessly ride powder. While it really excelled in all these aspects, it did just as well on side hits and large park features. With a stiffer flex and stable feel, I got a reliable feel that took me all over the mountain. From the beautiful, simplistic look of this board to the overall performance, this board just did it and did it with no problems. It's a solid board for riders who want to push their limits all over the mountain.

Review Ratings
Turn Ease
5/5
Jared Manganelli gave 5 of 5 stars. With this board's quadratic sidecut and hybrid back seat camber profile, it made quick work all over the mountain, linking smooth turns. The camber section really allowed me to hold a smooth, effortless turn while having a catch-free feel coming from the rocker section in the tips. Coming in more narrow sizes, this board is really meant to make quick edge-to-edge turns.
Playfulness
3/5
Jared Manganelli gave 3 of 5 stars. With this board having a stiffer flex and a more directional shape, it was no surprise that it did not feel as playful as other boards on the market. It has the feel of a stiff, responsive freestyle deck that collides with a freeride board to create a product that really excels all over with hints of freestyle inspiration. It can still get down all over the mountain; it's just not as playful as other boards I have ridden.
Durability
5/5
Jared Manganelli gave 5 of 5 stars. So many higher-end materials come together to create a deck that shines in the durability department, such as reinforced slime walls, carbon laminates, hybrid glass layup, and reinforced impact plates for added durability and destruction. The combination of these materials shined through when riding and made a difference.
High Speed Stability
5/5
Jared Manganelli gave 5 of 5 stars. With the board feeling stiffer than a lot of boards I have ridden, I was not surprised to feel how well it rode at high speeds. This board wanted to go fast without feeling like a complete wood plank. Riding was so fun because I felt confident in hitting high speeds without feeling chatter or vibrations and losing control.
Carving
5/5
Jared Manganelli gave 5 of 5 stars. With the quadratic sidecut, directional tapered shape, and hybrid camber profile, riders get a board that holds an edge so well without feeling like the board is getting caught up. I locked in on carves at all speeds with little to no effort. This was a huge confidence booster to really push my carves and lay them over more and more as I rode.
Versatility
4/5
Jared Manganelli gave 4 of 5 stars. I had no problems taking this board all over the mountain and testing different terrains out. While this is a stiffer board, I didn't mind that feeling and still rode everything I would have on any other board. From ripping bigger jumps and stomping landings to handling any trails on the mountain with ease, this board was right there with me and didn't feel like it was holding me back.
Flotation
5/5
Jared Manganelli gave 5 of 5 stars. The directional tapered shape helps sink the back end of the board into the snow and keeps the nose naturally above the snow. This really makes riding powder effortless. I could float all over the powder fields with little work or without having to lean all my weight back just to keep my nose up. The hybrid profile allows the board to float and stay above the snowline.

Why did you choose this product?
Jared Manganelli I chose this product because I wanted a board that bridged the gap between freeriding and all-mountain riding. A board that could still rip the terrain park but was going to really excel off-trail and meet all my needs for my riding style—lots of tree runs, exploring, and fast-speed trails.
What is the value for the money versus other options?
Jared Manganelli When riders look at this board stacked up against similar options in the same performance category, this board easily has one of the best price points for what it offers—higher-end materials, directional twin-tapered shape, and a hybrid camber profile for taking on the whole mountain.
