Sims Distortion vs Sims Fakie
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the Sims Distortion leans more freestyle, while the Sims Fakie leans more freeride/powder. The Sims Distortion uses a twin shape while the Sims Fakie is directional. The Sims Distortion has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Sims Fakie uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). At $520 vs $650 MSRP, the Sims Distortion is the more budget-friendly option.
