Ride Kink vs Ride Psychocandy

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Ride Kink leans more freestyle. The Ride Kink uses a twin shape while the Ride Psychocandy is directional. The Ride Kink has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Ride Psychocandy uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Ride Psychocandy is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $499.95 vs $539.95 MSRP, the Ride Kink is the more budget-friendly option.
