Ride Zero tested by The Pill

A favorite of team riders Jill Perkins and Reid Smith, it is the newest big addition to the Ride line

Zero is a board that knows no limits. With its standard camber profile and asymmetric sidecut, it can be used by anyone, anywhere, anytime. The timeless graphics are so reminiscent of the classics of the past, but are packed with technologies that reflect today’s landscape, starting with the structure. The combination of the Performance Core and the construction solutions that make up the sidewall give a perfect balance between weight and stability, more efficient energy transfer and even better ground feedback. Plates added near each attachment improve compressive strength in jumps, while cross-arranged carbon strips give even more direct force transmission. The profile combines a classic camber in the central area with a slight rocker extending from the contact points. This creates a playful and permissive riding experience while maintaining the pop and precision of camber. The asymmetrical quadratic sidecut blends three different radii that facilitate turn initiation and exit by providing the best possible grip. It behaves in switch exactly as in forward, but the pressure on the heel blade is easier. At low speeds, the medium-soft flex allows you to corner with ease and provides a lot of fun, so you’ll experience comfortable rides at all times and in any terrain, whether you want to ride in the park, in the fresh air or on the slope. A fun and forgiving board with smooth and predictable control, dedicated to beginners and intermediates. However sufficiently stable at higher speeds to cope with larger kickers and the most difficult slopes.
