Here comes ACT's review on Amplid's hightech machine, the Souly Grail:
The quick, easy edge-to-edge nature of this freeride all-rounder gives it a strong personality. It pushes you to rev it up to take advantage of its high-performance carvings and all-terrain comfort.
This freeride shape, with its short heel and rocker front, is a little more oriented towards on-track versatility than the Surfari. We take advantage of the agility of a small swallow tail, to drift onto a fairly modern approach, oriented towards solid support and efficient carving. Manoeuvrable underfoot, it immediately reveals itself to be incisive, seeking to get into a carved turn fairly quickly.
The support is distributed all along the edge, and you can feel that it knows how to adapt to speed and traverse the terrain in freeride. It's a wise choice for fans of laser curves who want to leave their mark all over the mountains, and why not try their hand at banked slaloms?
