Fjell MT 1230s Splitboard

A split for riders who enjoy switch turns and natural side hits on the way down: the MT 1230s is Fjell’s true-twin option. It uses balanced dimensions instead of a large powder nose and strongly shortened tail.

Is the Fjell MT 1230s Splitboard 26/27 right for your tours?

Freestyle splitters and smaller all-round riders get 153 and 159 cm options with matching nose and tail widths and zero setback. Rocker at both ends with camber between defines the profile. That does not automatically mean soft flex: the description calls it medium while the feature list says stiffer. A demo is particularly useful here.

What should you consider on the ascent?

On the track, choose width your boots can edge effectively. The smaller version’s 24.9 cm waist is considerably narrower than the Hokkaido. A twin outline alone does not determine climbing efficiency; skins, bindings and movement also matter.

How do you choose suitable length and width?

Fjell lists 50–75 kg for the 153 and 60–95+ kg for the 159. These are manufacturer ranges, not personal recommendations based on body weight alone. Boots, pack and desired handling belong in the comparison.

How do boots, bindings and skins work together?

Start by matching boot fit, board width and lateral support. An oversized boot loses support before pressure reaches the edge. For the Fjell MT 1230s Splitboard, we would prioritise heel hold and a highback suited to your weight over choosing the stiffest possible binding. Playful downhill handling need not mean a setup that collapses sideways on a traverse. Practise both touring and riding modes with your actual interface and its specified screws. Plan suitable skins too: length, width and nose and tail fittings need to work together.

Which of our test experiences help you?

We have not yet tested the Fjell MT 1230s Splitboard ourselves. Our advice uses current manufacturer information and our Gear Guide principles. An older model introduction provides history rather than our own riding test. Manufacturer-shop customer ratings are not used as our editorial scores either.

For a demo, start with a suitable size and your own boots. Check whether you can apply pressure comfortably in slow turns as well as at speed. After a longer climb, consider whether width and flex still feel manageable. A consistent setup is more useful than comparing random boards with very different lengths or stance settings.

What has changed since 25/26 and earlier models?

Fjell currently includes this model in its regular range. The manufacturer page does not identify a separate technical redesign for 26/27 or a complete change list from 25/26. This page is therefore our guide for the 26/27 season rather than a claim of a newly developed annual model. Compare the actual generation, length, width, hardware and package contents. A new graphic or different price alone does not establish changed tuning.

What is included in the price and what else do you need?

Fjell lists Union clips and hooks on the board. Include bindings and skins separately when planning the setup. Colour variants are grouped here because another topsheet or base colour is not an additional shape.

Which alternatives should you compare?

Compare Fjell MT 1365s Splitboard and Salomon Bellevue Split. The riding-style differences are discussed above. Use comparable sizes and your own boots on a demo where possible. A different stance or substantially softer binding can change more than a small dimensional difference between boards. Decide by how well the setup suits your usual tours.

FAQ: What should you know before the first tour?

Is the MT 1230s the Fjell to compare for frequent switch riding?

Within this selection, the zero-setback true twin is the natural comparison. Flex and width still need to suit you. We have not yet ride-tested this version ourselves.

Which size and width suit me?

Fjell lists 50–75 kg for the 153 and 60–95+ kg for the 159. These are manufacturer ranges, not personal recommendations based on body weight alone. Boots, pack and desired handling belong in the comparison.

Have you tested this model yourselves?
