The Counterbalance is brand new for 2026 and represents a completely different direction from the old true-twin freestyle board that shared the name. This is a directional camber all-mountain board with 8mm of taper, designed as a daily driver for riders who want one board that handles the whole mountain.

The directional camber profile puts camber under both feet for stability and edge hold, with a rockered nose for float in soft snow. Burton's Balanced Freeride Geometry keeps it from feeling too directional on groomers — reviewers consistently note it feels less tapered than the numbers suggest. The Super Fly II 700G core with 45-degree Carbon Highlights keeps weight down while adding snap, and the Sintered WFO base is legitimately fast. Frostbite Edges provide real grip on hardpack.

This is the board for intermediate-to-advanced riders who want a do-everything daily driver. Morning groomers, afternoon trees, powder day float — all without owning a dedicated freeride board. The medium flex sits right in the productive middle: not aggressive, not soft.
