Strength:
Everything, Turns on a dime, is incredily fast, is a all around great board, and defenitly is good in the park.
Weakness:
zero, zilch, noda, nothing Man, Oh, Man! This board is the deal! I have not tested a better board....ever! I a a experienced rider and I can really say that this is the best board. It can turn on a dime, and is very fast. I used to ride a burton frontier and freeride, which you know are good boards. This board made those 2 look like 2 pieces of lumber. This board will convince anyone, with one ride, that this is the board to ride. Similar Products Used: Well, people say it has been breaking. That is a bunch of bull. First of all burton replaces your board for free in 2 days. Second of all, I wanna know what those people were doing. (not very good rid |

HardCore
Strength:
Super light Great stiff flex Great edge hold and stability Mad pop
Weakness:
Breaks- broke mine twice now. One person said its ok cause Burton sends you a new one in a couple of days which is true as long as you haven't had the board more than a year, after that you have to get lucky to get a new one. Another review said it would never break, well mine has twice and I know other people who have as well, but I guess if you never go big it won't ever break. Both times have been from overflexing, so it hasn't been from abuse of the board or from hitting something. Ohterwise no weaknesses. This board performs like nothing else I've rode. You can't beat its lightness, flex and pop. But it also breaks like no other board that I have rode. Similar Products Used: M3 Hybrid- not as stiff and not as much pop but close in overall performance, and I haven't broke one yet |

Strength:
-Light -Responsive -Flex, pop, etc. -Haven't found a jump this thing CAN'T conquer -Sick in the pipe -Nice graphics
Weakness:
-560 bucks. But hey, it's worth every cent. This board is absolutely sickening. First off, there is no board this light and this fast from any company. This thing can ride through any crap the mountain throws at your ass. It can carve hard through ice, ride through powder, you name it, it's good for it. But the best thing is that you can stick landings SOOOO easy on huge jumps, and in the pipe....O MAN! This thing's what I dream about. Similar Products Used: None remotely compares. |

like i said if u push this board enough sooner or later you will be throwing rodeo 5's. Ya i highly recommend this board for anyone that has progressed into the sport and likes to rock burton.
Weakness:
People have written reviews about it breaking???? nah wont' happen. other than paying 500 for it there are no other weaknesses Wow what a board, i've rode burton for a long time adn they never fail, they rock. If you want a board with a good response and will go as far as you push it this dragon is the board for you Similar Products Used: started out with a burton charger, then a M3 side wall then a burton custom then i rest in peace now with my dragon |

Strength:
Just a Badass Board. Nuff said.
Weakness:
None yet found. Ah the dragon....Screw you rental guys! First board I've ever bought! Nice! Good design and super light. What I need if anything is a suggestion for what bindings to put on it. (If you have a recommendation please right a review and give me an idea for what to use) Similar Products Used: Lamar 154 and rentals. |

Strength:
agressive, much respons, fast... if you know how to ride it, it will never let you down!
Weakness:
They break to f***ing fast..!! I''ve had 2 Dragons 2001 (56&59)... one broke just behind the back binding (on a very small jump) and one broke just before the front binding.... still don''t know when that happened! I had one Dragon 2002 (58) of which I broke the steelside of, on a tailslide (it broke right between the bindings)... Currently riding a new Dragon 2002 (58)... Positive point.... if you pay that ammount of money for a Burton board and it breaks (WHEN IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN), Burton WILL give you a new one... THIS IS THE MAIN REASON I STILL BOARD BURTON!! Boards just like Burton discribes.... agressive and not for everyone! |
