Approximate Weight

The Ride Agenda felt pretty normal. Some lower cost rides can be heavier and this isn’t.  (We don’t put in the exact weight because with wood cores there is no consistency in a boards weight)

Sizing

The Ride Agenda 155 felt pretty good for me for my size 9 boot size and not bad for my weight. I wouldn’t want to size up or down for mtn freestyle to park riding.

Shape/Camber/On Snow Feel/Ability Level

The Ride Agenda is a true twin with a centered stance and it rides super well centered but doesn’t mind a front foot or back foot heavy turn.

The Ride Agenda’s mellow camber between the feet going to a good bit of mellow (not that high up) rocker before the nose/tail has a very stable feel. It’s got that camber stability that tracks well but doesn’t feel catchy.

Flex Personality

The pop of the Ride Agenda isn’t super snappy but its doable and very easy to butter.

Uneven Terrain

I had no problem in uneven soft snow but I didn’t expect anything less from Ride. Even for a softer twin.

Edge Hold

The Ride Agenda isn’t super grippy in hard to icy snow but still is competent. It might not grip as hard as some but it doesn’t grab at all in softer snow.

Speed

You don’t get the Ride Agenda to bomb but it’s more than competent on a moderate straightline.

Base Glide

I wasn’t super impressed with the base glide but it’s hard to be critical at this price point. It’s about what you would expect.

Turning Experience/Carving

The Ride Agenda initiated a turn pretty quick but then didn’t take that quick initiation into a tight radius. I liked its versatility for all kinds of turns but didn’t really feel like I had a ton of spring out of the turn.

Powder

No powder to speak of but it seems like it will do well for a centered stance twin in pow. Not a board to get if you like to set your stance back in powder.

Switch/Pipe/Jumps

Very versatile park ride. I’m not a park guy but I would feel comfortable on the Ride Agenda trying new things. It rides switch very well, did fine in the pipe (for how I ride it) and seems like it would be super comfortable on most jibs.

Conclusion

So the Ride Agenda isn’t going to blow minds when it comes to pop but it’s not dead either. Everything else about this ride will be fun.
