REVIEW:
The Prior Khyber Splitboard is a performance backcountry powderboard. Its wider nose, generous sidecut and increased taper provide improved float and maneuverability in powder conditions compared with standard freeride shapes. Drop into chutes, pillow lines and trees with quick-turning confidence. The Khyber shape allows you to ride this style approx 2-3cm shorter than a standard freeride board. Voile kit & skins are included. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Strengths: Does all they say on the powder: Quality construction, great flotation, turns quick, very nice ride. Surfy feel is fun, but takes some getting used to.
Weaknesses: Not so great in-bounds: cutting a board in half and putting it back together makes it lose all its pop. No response on bumps, shape makes it spooky on flat runouts. An adequate but dead ride off the powder. A great backcountry powder board, but if you don`t have another board for in-bounds, you`re going to be sacrificing some fun.

Strengths: Turns amazingly easy in steep powder in the trees. This board is incredibly flexible, which helps it turn.
Weaknesses: None.
