Domination.. the name of the game.  Boy oh Boy was the Titan TX a blast to ride!

Of all the boards I was given by the amazingly kickass folks over at Never Sumer, I was most excited about the Titan TX. I’ve talked to people who’ve ridden them, and heard nothing but insanely great things about the board.   The Titan TX lived up to the hype for me, and honestly I love the board.   First, let’s set the record, this is an FreeRide/Big Mountain board. The TX model is the wider version of the Titan.  Never Summer is great about representin with their selection of wide/mid-wide boards covering all rider types.   The Titan TX does not include R.C. Tech, and honestly….. I’m glad.  This board is designed to bomb down the mountain, and bomb faster than just about any other board I’ve ridden, it does!    The Titan and Titan TX are Limited Edition boards, much like the Heritage models.

This years Titan model has a beautiful Blue Hue to the topsheet, with the Never Summer stencil eagle representin.  The bottom sheet has a pretty slick NS square art logo.

I rode the Titan TX in mostly spring conditions, hard packed groomers, and in some slushy runs.  The board is ultra responsive edge to edge, and tends to lean more towards the stiffer side of the scale, albeit, not overly stiff.  In the industry we have all these amazing sounding buzzwords, and each company has their own speak for their own tech.  The Titan includes Never Summers Titan Dampening System (TDS) which reduces vibration while allowing greater stability and control at higher speeds.   I read about TDS on the ’08-’09 model, and was stoked to finally get a chance to check it out.  TDS works pretty damn well.  When you’re slamming down the mountain, the board feels solid, very very very little chatter, if any at all.    The edge hold at speed is solid, never felt any signs of wash, or what I like to refer to as chops heh.

The Titan TX comes with a waist size of 26.3 through 26.9, ensuring bigger feet can enjoy the ride.  I rode  the TX with a pair of size 12 Burton Freestyles, and Flow NXT FS bindings.  Didn’t notice any toe or heel drag, and board response between the bindings was nice, and smooth.   Toe to heel transitions were smooth, and quick.  I never felt like the edge wanted to catch, or the board wasn’t doing what I wanted.

The Titan TX is a Freestyle/Mountain board, designed for speed, and transitions.  I didn’t take the board anywhere near a park, because honestly, that’s not what it’s meant for.  That’s not to say you can’t hit a kicker with it, or maybe a rail, I’m sure I wouldn’t have a problem with it.   Overall the Titan TX is a great board for riding.  Quick into turns, and quick response, make freestyle, and mountain riding on this board insanely fun.  If you’re looking for an all around park/freestyle board, the Titan TX is most likely not for you. BUT… IF you’re looking for an insanely fast, responsive, solid free-ride/Big Mountain board, definitely check out the Titan TX
