Early Rise Camber Profile: Features traditional camber underfoot for maximum edge grip, pop, and drive, paired with an early-rise nose for smooth turn initiation and effortless flotation in soft snow.
Classic Core 2.0: Built for stability and refined board feel using FSC certified poplar and beech as a powerful base platform, reinforced with four paulownia stringers to reduce weight and absorb chatter in technical terrain.
Carbon X Technology: Strategic carbon stringers span across the contact points to increase torsional stiffness, stability, and high-speed responsiveness without stiffening the board's overall longitudinal flex.
Elliptical Sidecut Design: Incorporates a longer sidecut radius underfoot for long, stable carving arcs and a tighter radius near the tip and tail for nimble, versatile turning options.
ABS Sidewall Construction: Protective material placed along the sides of the core absorbs impact energy, shields against topsheet damage, and ensures direct power transmission when leaning hard into a edge.
Super SAP Bio-Resin: Eco-friendly bio-based resin derived from plant material delivers high-strength structural bonding while significantly reducing the board's overall carbon footprint.
Sustainable European Manufacturing: Wood cores are harvested from responsibly managed forests situated near the
European production facilities, minimizing raw material transportation emissions while supporting long-term forest sustainability.
TPU Matte Finish: Durable, scratch-resistant matte topsheet shields the board's construction while offering a clean, modern aesthetic
