Camber Profile
- Medium Camber – Traditional camber runs from nose to tail, delivering powerful edge hold, precision, and pop with a balanced feel that's responsive without becoming overly demanding.
Flex
- 8/10 Flex Rating (Stiff) – Built for aggressive riders who want maximum stability, precision, and response at high speeds.
Shape
- Directional Twin – A twin-inspired shape with a subtle directional bias, offering freestyle versatility with added stability and control when riding forward.
Core
- Light Core – A balanced blend of Poplar and Paulownia creates a lightweight core with lively response, durability, and strength for aggressive all-mountain riding.
Laminates
- Tri-Ax Fiberglass – Three-way fiberglass weave increases strength, precision, and responsiveness while keeping weight low.
- Carbon Stringers – Strategically placed carbon reinforcement adds explosive pop, quicker edge response, and increased stability at speed.
- C.S.T. (Central Super Tube) – A hollow carbon tube running through the center of the core reinforces camber, reduces weight, and boosts pop while maintaining torsional flex.
- Impact Plates – Reinforcement beneath the bindings helps disperse hard impacts while protecting the inserts for increased long-term durability.
Sidewalls
- Flex Walls – Urethane sidewalls create a stronger bond with the core than traditional ABS while reducing vibration for a smoother, more durable ride.
Base
- Ultra Glide S Base – Premium 7000-grade sintered base delivers exceptional speed, durability, and wax absorption for maximum glide in all conditions.
Additional Features
- A-Grade German Stainless Steel Inserts – High-quality inserts are built to withstand years of stance adjustments and binding swaps without compromising durability.
