THE VERDICT

The Torah Bright carves turns effortlessly and holds speed over variable terrain, while still having a fun lively feel. The board is ideal for an intermediate to advanced rider looking for one bard to ride all conditions. 

FULL REVIEW

Designed by Olympic Gold Medalist, Torah Bright, the medium flex board is Roxy’s top of the line for progressive riders. The Torah Bright is an all mountain freeride board for intermediate to advanced riders. It is responsive and handles well in variable conditions over all terrain. It’s not as aggressive as some of the other boards in the test, but offers a nice balance of stiffness, stability, and pop. It might be one of the most responsive boards tested. This board was most fun riding groomers top to bottom. It handles speed well, and has a fun lively feel. 

Handling
With shortened rocker between the feet and lengthened aggressive camber through the tip and tail, the board offers supreme control and handling while still feeling playful. 

Pop + Energy
Torah likes amplitude and she designed this board with plenty of pop for the freeriders who want to hit natural features on the mountain. It handled amplitude better than others in the test. 

Float
The hybrid rocker between the feet helps this board float in soft snow.  It rides powder okay, but not as well as boards with fatter noses or rocker in the tip. 

Versatility
The Torah Bright is versatile enough that it can be a one-board quiver for most riders. The aggressive rocker/camber profile combined with serrated edges and a playful feel makes it one of the most versatile all mountain boards in the test. 

Edge Hold
Mervin’s magne-traction serrated edges give the Torah Bright superior edge hold especially in firm snow and variable conditions. 

Sustainability/Craftsmanship
Roxy’s parent company, Mervin Manufacturing, hand makes all snowboards in the United states using environmentally friendly materials.
