Description
2023 GNU Chromatic Snowboard
The Chromatic gracefully blurs the lines between freestyle and freeride. It carves circles around the competition, floats in pow, and encourages progression with the Original Banana rocker/camber hybrid contour and Magne-Traction®. Advanced geometries, an all mountain directional shape, and artwork by Corinne Weidmann bring the magic of the mountains to life, rainbow glow and all.
Camber Profile
Original Banana – Revolutionary all-terrain freestyle banana blend. Rocker between your feet with flat to mild camber to contact points. Mild tip pressure for unreal float and jibbing, solid pressure between your feet for easy turning and great ice edge hold. The best contour to learn on. Unreal everywhere!
