Flex
- 4/10 – A medium-soft flex that blends comfort and progression-friendly feel. Great for newer riders and freestyle-focused riders looking for easier turn initiation, board feel, and pressability without sacrificing all-mountain reliability.
Baseplate
- Uni-Body Polymer Chassis – Single-piece design that absorbs vibration and offers a smooth, forgiving ride. Adjustable toe ramp helps dial in stance.
- Boron Fiber Drive Plate – Built like a snowboard, this composite plate uses fiberglass and eco-sublimated materials around a poly core to create a responsive yet damp flex that improves board feel and control.
Highback
- Performance Polymer Nylon Highback – Slightly cupped shape supports your boot through turns while keeping things easy and playful.
- The Cube – Tool-free forward lean adjuster with four angle settings (10°, 14°, 18°, 22°). Dual durometer urethane construction absorbs vibration and makes on-hill tweaks simple.
- Love Handle – Large cored-out cutout at the top of the highback reduces weight and doubles as a convenient carry handle
Straps
- Mobility Ankle Strap – Lightweight, flexible, and designed for comfort with strategically cored zones that improve mobility and response.
- Light Form Toe Strap – Slim, precise fit that wraps over or around your toe box for secure boot hold without pressure points.
Buckles
- Forged Aluminum Buckles – Lightweight and strong, these offer smooth operation and long-lasting durability.
Additional Features
- Large Axis Disk – Compatible with 4x2, 4x4, and Channel™ mounting patterns. Allows stance adjustment tip-to-tail and edge-to-edge.
- Tool-Free Adjustments – Forward lean and strap positioning can be dialed in quickly on the mountain without any tools.
