Camber Profile
- Traditional Camber: Pure camber underfoot provides pop, stability, and strong edge hold for confident freestyle and all-mountain riding.
Flex
- 5/10 Flex: A balanced medium flex provides enough support for confident all-mountain riding while maintaining the maneuverability and playfulness needed for freestyle progression.
Shape
- Directional Twin: A versatile twin-based shape combines a symmetrical stance for switch riding with a slightly longer nose for confident performance across varied terrain and conditions.
Core
- Pop-Lownia Core: A 60/40 blend of poplar and paulownia creates a lightweight, durable, and energetic all-mountain freestyle core. Strategically placed paulownia strips add dampness to help absorb bumps and reduce chatter across mixed terrain.
Laminates
- Biax Glass: Fiberglass layers running parallel and perpendicular through the board provide increased torsional flex for a playful, freestyle-friendly ride.
- Mountain Carbon Layup: A carbon stringer laid in an X pattern from tip to tail increases pop and torsional rigidity for additional response and control.
- Composite Impact Plates: Triax fiberglass sheets laid over the insert packs and cured into the snowboard add reinforcement and help dampen impacts and vibration.
Base
- Extruded Base: A tough, durable, and easy-to-repair HDPE base designed to withstand heavy use while providing strength and hardness approaching Armada's sintered base constructions.
Binding Compatibility
- 2x4 Inserts: Standard 2x4 inserts provide broad binding compatibility.
