Oenomaus Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) 2017 Donek Knapton Twin custom pro model SOLD Length 160cm Waist width 31.2cm Sidecut radius 9.8m radial reference stance 24.5inches Inserts offset 0.5cm toward toe side Very stiff Powder inserts(extra inserts which allow setback stance for heavy pow days) Carbonium topsheet Width eliminates or greatly reduces chances of boot out(depending on shoe size) when carving deeply in duckstance Offset inserts helps to compensate for heelcup drag. I am about 190lbs and after learning the stiffness it felt natural. I believe stiffness is similar to the Donek Incline. Basically a board built for freestyle extreme carving. If you’ve seen Ryan Knapton on YouTube, you know what this is. Ridden about 25 days. Purchased last season for nearly $800. I’m wanting the exact same snowboard but with a larger sidecut radius. When carving, this board will take your riding to the next level. Edited January 4, 2019 by Oenomaus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveo Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Just a few questions out of curiosity, might also help others, also: What is the reference stance? Is it radial or vsr? How heavy of a rider is it built for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if your nose width matches tail width it will be considered as twin, but it might have VSR sidecut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if your nose width matches tail width it will be considered as twin, but it might have VSR sidecut. Usually "twin" means pure twin, if it's not they call it a directional twin. At any rate, Donek's website shows that the stock ones are all pure twins, and I know Ryan has said that's what it is. He rides switch better than most ride forwards, he likes a twin.

It can still be a pure twin and have VSR, like what @TLN said. Could have the same SCR at tip/tail blended to a middle SC, which is different, for instance. @Oenomaus thanks for the info, mate. glwts. I like the idea of the offset inserts!

Oenomaus Posted October 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) reference stance 24.5 inches. The wide stance assists with performing nose and tail rolls and helps to get you in a deeper squat/athletic stance. thanks Daveo.
