Sims Fakie Snowboard 2025
There's nothing false about the Sims Fakie Snowboard and it actually prefers to only slide one direction. This is a burly freeride tool with a stiff flex, tons of power on edge due to Beech wood inserts along the rails, and a full camber profile for old-school power and precision. With Sims' fastest sintered base and plenty of guts underfoot, you'll be hard pressed not to go full gas from first chair to last call.

Terrain:
Freestyle, All-Mountain

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.

Flux XF Snowboard Bindings 2025
Go higher and ride faster strapped into the Flux XF Snowboard Bindings. These binders serve up efficient power thanks to their heelside stabilizer and resistant material that's stiff and lightweight. A symmetric retro mod highback supports hard landings and the Boost FootOn+ footbed elevates your edging.
Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Baseplate
Super Ultima Base – Lightweight with quick edge-to-edge response while the board is being flexed.
Performance Blend – A nylon and fiberglass mix for all-around performance.
Boost FootOn+ – The center is made of a soft material, and when you step on it, it naturally becomes concave, making it easier for the toe and heel to step on it. Of course, the surface is made of a material that does not easily get snow on it.
Responsive Stabilizer – A large stabilizer designed for XF with an emphasis on quick reaction and power transmission. Made of highly resilient TPU material, it protects the board while boasting high response performance.
Five Holes Highback Rotation – Five highback mounting holes allow rotation at both foot forward angles.
Flat Bottom – The base plate has a flat shape with fewer bumps on the underside, allowing for direct power transmission while still taking care of the top sheet of the board.
Toolless Lever – Find your optimum settings without any tools. The stopper prevents any screws coming loose.
Multi Disc – In addition to the conventional 4x4 screw holes, this disc is also channel-compatible.
Highback
Retro-Mod Highback – The outside takes on a classically symmetric shape. The inner asymmetric structure provides resilience while following the movement of the boots, and offers improves torsion control when landing.
Super Tough Nylon – A fiber mix with a medium flex that is perfect for all mountain riding.
Redux Lean Adjuster – A highback adjuster that offers precision adjustments when used in unison with the Flux Micro Adjuster.
Micro Adjuster – Adjust forward lean in 2.5° increments with each click for finer highback settings.
Straps
Waffle Strap – Waffle shaped cushioning provides ample hold and unparalleled comfort, and two layer-construction offers direct power transfer.
FTM 5.0 Toe Strap – The middle of the strap uses a more rigid material for increased power transfer, with top and bottom ends using a more flexible material for a better boot fit.
L-Guide – For a smooth in and out. Holds ratchet ladders down.
UU Fit – A 360° wrap evens out pressure for a natural feel and hold.
Buckles
Beer Buckles – Newly engineered buckles give you more leverage when cranking down on the straps allowing you to get to the last click with minimal effort. Functions as a bottle opener in case of beverage emergencies.
Additional Features
Lightness – 4 (1 Light - 5 Lightest)

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.
