Ride Algorythm vs Ride Kink

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. The Ride Algorythm uses a directional twin shape while the Ride Kink is twin. The Ride Algorythm has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Ride Kink uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Ride Algorythm is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $499.95 vs $629.95 MSRP, the Ride Kink is the more budget-friendly option.
