Camber Profile
- Camber – A traditional profile with a continuous curve underfoot that delivers strong edge hold, explosive pop, and precise control. Ideal for riders who thrive on speed, precision, and power.
Flex
- 6–9/10 (Stiff) – This is a stiff board, built to hold up under extreme pressure and aggressive riding. It delivers unshakable stability at high speeds and maximizes energy transfer when carving or launching off features.
Shape
- Directional Twin – Designed to ride like a twin on flat base but with a slightly longer nose for better performance in one direction. It’s versatile enough for switch riding while still tuned for freeride power and control.
- Pro-Tip™ – Tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for faster spins and easier transitions.
Core
- Dragonfly™ 600G Core with Multizone™ EGD™ – Burton’s strongest, lightest wood core. High-energy woods and precision grain placement improve durability, edge hold, and pop while shaving unnecessary weight.
- Squeezebox – Alternates thick and thin core zones to direct rider energy more efficiently—making the board feel powerful, yet lively and reactive.
Laminates
- 45° Carbon Highlights High Voltage – A high-voltage carbon layup that boosts torsional stiffness and adds snap, giving the board an ultra-responsive feel with pro-level precision.
Base
- Sintered WFO Base – Burton’s fastest and most durable base. It's wax-infused deep into the pores for lasting glide in all snow conditions, even if you forget to re-wax.
Additional Features
- Frostbite Edges – Slightly extended edges underfoot for extra grip on icy terrain without catching when it's soft.
- Infinite Ride™ – Pre-conditioned at the factory so the board rides the same on day 100 as it does on day 1.
- Super Sap® Epoxy – Uses bio-resin instead of petroleum-based epoxy to reduce environmental impact.
- The Channel® Mounting System – Micro-adjust your stance and use any binding brand with Burton’s most versatile mount system.
