Description
The MBS Core 94 is a lightweight, responsive mountainboard built for riders who want a board that feels lively underfoot without jumping straight to a full high-end setup. It suits landkiting, freestyle mountainboarding and general off-road riding really well, with a stiff Powerlam deck, ATS.12 trucks, F5 ratchet bindings and 8" T3 tyres giving it a fast, nimble feel on mixed terrain.
Compared to heavier, more planted boards, the Core 94 feels quicker to turn, easier to throw around and more playful once you start progressing. It is a popular choice for riders who want more performance than an entry-level board, but still want sensible value and a setup that can grow with them.
Who It’s For
- Discipline: Landkiting, freestyle mountainboarding, freeride off-road riding
- Level: Beginner to intermediate, especially progressing riders
- Best for: Riders who want a lighter, more agile board with good upgrade potential
Key Features
- Powerlam composite deck – The maple and fibreglass construction gives the board a stiff, direct feel with solid strength for repeated use.
- 94cm compact platform – Shorter overall deck length keeps the handling lively and makes the board feel more manoeuvrable than longer freeride boards.
- ATS.12 trucks with 12mm axles – Strong, simple and easily adjustable trucks that keep weight down while still offering dependable control.
- F5 ratchet bindings – Comfortable, supportive bindings with good foot hold and easy adjustment for different footwear.
- Rockstar II hubs with 8" T3 tyres – A proven wheel and tyre setup with good traction on dirt, grass and mixed terrain.
- Brake compatible chassis – The board is compatible with an MBS brake system if you want to adapt your setup later.
- Modular MBS platform – Easy to maintain and upgrade over time as your riding develops.
Real-World Feel
On the ground, the Core 94 feels lighter and more reactive than bigger, more planted mountainboards. That makes it especially appealing for landkiting and freestyle riding where you want the board to respond quickly and not feel sluggish beneath you.
It does not have the same big-terrain, locked-in feel as larger and more advanced freeride boards, but that is exactly why many riders like it. It feels easier to move, easier to control at moderate speeds, and more fun for riders who want a board they can progress on without it feeling too serious or too heavy.
Setup / Fit
The Core 94 comes with F5 ratchet bindings, so fit is easy to adjust for different boot sizes and riding preferences. The ATS.12 truck setup keeps things straightforward and low-maintenance, which is useful if you want a board that is simple to own and ride.
The board arrives as a complete setup with wheels supplied off for assembly. It uses 8" tyres and 12mm axles, which helps with long-term parts compatibility. If you are the kind of rider who likes tuning or upgrading gear later, that is a real advantage.

Why We Stock It
The MBS Core 94 fills a really useful gap in the range. It gives riders a genuine step up in performance over basic entry-level boards, but without the price jump that comes with more specialist models. For landkiting and general progression, it is one of the most sensible all-round choices in the MBS lineup.
If you want a board that feels light, capable and easy to live with, while still leaving room to upgrade later, the Core 94 is a very strong option.
FAQs
Is the MBS Core 94 suitable for beginners?
Yes, especially for confident beginners who want a board they will not outgrow too quickly. Complete first-timers may prefer a more beginner-focused model, but the Core 94 offers much better long-term progression.
Is the Core 94 good for landkiting?
Yes. Its lighter weight, agile handling and responsive feel make it a very popular choice for landkiting.
Does it come with a brake?
No. The board is brake compatible, but the brake system is not included as standard.
What kind of terrain is it best on?
It works well on grass, compact dirt, mixed off-road surfaces and general mountainboard terrain. The 8" T3 tyres give solid grip without making the board feel overly heavy.
Can I upgrade parts later?
Yes. One of the strengths of the MBS platform is that parts and upgrades are easy to source and fit over time.
