Camber Profile
- CamRock – Camber between the feet adds control, stability, and pop, while rocker at the nose and tail shortens the contact edge for smoother turn initiation and a more forgiving ride.
Flex
- Flex Rating: 2/5 (Mid-Soft) – A balanced flex that’s playful and forgiving yet offers enough support for cruising groomers, trees, or park laps.
Shape
- Directional – A slightly longer nose and 10mm setback stance make it adaptable for powder days while maintaining easy switch control.
- Diamond Nose & Blunt Tail – Smooths out turn entry and provides reliable float with added stability in variable conditions.
Core
- Master Core – A blend of poplar and paulownia engineered for optimal strength-to-weight ratio and responsive energy transfer.
Laminates
- Premium Sandwich Construction – Adds carbon stringers for enhanced pop, stability, and dampening at speed.
- Triax Plus Fiberglass – A tri-axial weave that improves torsional stiffness and edge response without losing playfulness.
- Pop Carbon – Carbon fiber placed between the inserts and nose/tail for snappier pop and reduced chatter.
Base
- N-7000 Hybrid Base – Combines the durability and low-maintenance benefits of an extruded base with the speed and hardness of a sintered one.
- Diecut Base – Pure-color materials pieced together for clean, crisp graphics that last season after season.
Topsheet
- Absorbnid – Vibration-dampening layer that reduces chatter for a smoother, more controlled ride.
- Matte Finish – A tactile top layer that looks sharp and feels premium.
