It was so much fun to ollie off bumps and rollers and I loved how it was quick edge to edge.

From Lauren:

The conditions were choppy, with a little ice and lots of little bumps to ollie off. It was a lot of fun riding the Saturnia in those conditions. Lots of pop and also really quick edge to edge. It’s so effortless to turn because it’s just so quick, really nice for approaching rails. When I was riding quicker, there was minimal chatter. Not bad enough to affect the ride.

When I was jibbing, I wasn’t sure if I liked the Saturnia, there was nothing special about it on rails and boxes, but it was easy to press and butter; I buttered it on the last box in the Copper park and down the run. Overall, I thought it was more fun for fucking around with on the runs than on rails

Capita Says:

Engineered to be a “Stairmaster for Women,” the Saturnia is light, strong, and easy to ride through obstacles and jumps in the park. It has everything you need, nothing you don’t, and like the Stairmaster Series, the exceptional ride-ability and on-snow experience of the Saturnia greatly exceeds the price tag.
