Wired Vantage Series 2023

This advertising is very misleading. The only handmade in Canada boards from wired are nothing like the board's shown on the website. All of these boards and specs are theChinese factory boards.
After trying both versions (Canadian and Chinese) I very much prefer the profile of the camber 2.0 that is only offered in the Chinese version boards and not available from the Canadian presses. But I prefer the construction of the Canadian board because the edges are built at much different angles, hang up less on packed snow, and are stronger on impact.
The Canadian built boards with traditional camber feel much stiffer. The rating on the Chinese version is 7, but I would give it a 5-6. I would say the Canadian version is close to a solid 7 though, just very different included torsional flex.
Effective edge may be the biggest difference I found. When measured out, the edge of just the nose of the Canadian built board reached out 4cm longer. That's going from 114 to at least 118 not counting the added length of the edges on the tail, so probably closer to 120 instead of the websites chart stating 114. That makes the Canadian version super slow turning and not much fun except straight lining.
Overall, maybe both versions have a place in the market, but I believe wired needs to inform the customer better about all of this. I was mislead to believe I was getting a handmade Canadian board, not a Chinese factory version. Then when I bought Canadian, i actually preferred the cheap one

This board was an absolute game changer for me as I have been riding the same board for 8 years! It is extremely stable through all types of snow and It has such good pop. It feels like you are launching off a trampoline. It can also approach light speed on groomers and pass skiers on the flats.

It fits my riding style perfectly and I am extremely happy with it!!!

She’s sender for sure bud!!

Found the 2020 model lightly used and I’ve put 90 days on it this season hitting everything from green groomers to black diamond tree runs in a foot of fresh snow to icy double blacks. This beauty lets you shred no matter the conditions.

Great edge for carving/icy conditions, nice pop in the tail for those side hits/rollers, good flex in the nose for some buttery fun. Couldn’t be happier with this absolute beast of a board.

It’s also drawn comments/inquiries from several strangers and who doesn’t like getting complimented on their gear?

The cherry on top? Made in Canada.

This baby will take you anywhere you want to go and let you show your steez with ease 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Brought multiple boards to Breckenridge and only put this board away for 1 day over a 2 week trip. What a great ride - great carvier, strong pop off side hits, holds on ice, and is great at speed. Couldn't be happier.

This board does it all! No matter where your day takes you this board will keep you a float in the pow, cruising through the tree's and bumps like a Sunday drive, oh and yes it pops air off rollers and park jumps. Definitely the most stable board I've ever ridden so it's a confidence builder no matter where the nose decides to take you! Full camber is what snowboarding is all about so the turns are precision quick and the landing's are over the bolts. All you have to do is design your own top graphic, but on some bindings and go up the lift.....the rest is taken care of!
