Camber Profile
- C2x Hybrid Camber – Aggressive camber zones underfoot with mild rocker between the feet deliver responsive edge hold, explosive pop, and freestyle control for riders who charge hard and get creative.
Flex
- Medium – Medium-Stiff – A responsive flex that holds up to bigger features and fast lines, while still offering enough give for presses and technical park riding.
Shape
- Asym Twin – A true twin shape with an asymmetrical sidecut that features different radii on the toe and heel edges. This design helps correct the natural biomechanical differences in turning, making heelside carves easier, more intuitive, and better balanced for freestyle riding in both directions.
Core
- G Lite 2 Core – Lightweight and full of pop, this FSC Certified Aspen and Paulownia blend is designed for energetic freestyle riding with lasting durability.
Laminates
- Tri-Ax / Bi-Ax Fiberglass – Offers a stable and poppy platform for jumps and high-speed takeoffs while maintaining enough torsional flex for rail precision.
Base
- Sintered Base – Fast, durable, and wax-absorbent, this base is built for heavy use in the park or on the mountain.
Additional Features
- Eco Sublimated Poly Topsheet – Lightweight and environmentally conscious without compromising strength.
- UHMW Sidewalls and Tips/Tails – High-impact resistance in critical areas to handle freestyle abuse.
- Magne-Traction® Edges – Serrated edges for grip and control on firm snow and in sketchy landings.
- Built at Mervin MFG in the USA – Handbuilt in Washington with zero hazardous waste.
