2026 GNU 4x4 C3 Snowboard
The 2026 GNU 4x4 C3 is Forest Bailey’s directional ATV built to handle everything from city streets to deep alpine lines. A floaty nose and zero-taper outline keep it freestyle-focused while still giving you the confidence to charge big terrain. Aggressive C3 camber delivers powerful edge hold and precision at speed, while Magne-Traction® serrated edges bite into hardpack and ice. This is Forest’s big mountain weapon when it’s time to leave the streets behind and let gravity do the talking.
