Gnu Riders Choice 157.5 2022 Snowboard

Incredible versatility for every all-mountain / freestyle rider

Many pros from the Gnu team use the Riders Choice again and again. No wonder - it has proven itself umpteen times and is possibly the best board ever made by Gnu. The Riders Choice will do whatever you want it to do and will give you great performance wherever you go. From tricks in the backcountry to carving on the slopes or shredding in the park.

Riding style
From advanced snowboarders to pro riders, this board delivers the best freestyle performance in any terrain. From the park to the backcountry.

Shape
The True Twin shape is perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that's equally versatile when ridden forward or switch. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential. The asymmetrical sidecut has a smaller radius on the heel side and a larger one on the toe side. This makes turns on the heel side easier and also more controllable.

Profile
The C2x profile comes with a short rocker between the bindings combined with a large camber underneath the bindings. This combination offers a good edge hold thanks to the camber areas, as well as good lift and unlimited freestyle action without canting thanks to the rocker.

Flex
The medium flex makes the snowboard hard enough for powerful turns, but still soft enough for a playful ride.

Construction
The G2 Eco construction is an environmentally friendly and very lightweight construction design from Gnu. The G2 Asym Eco core is asymmetrically constructed and made of balsa, aspen and paulownia wood. There are three struts of paulownia wood on the heel side of the core and two on the toe side. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the wood core and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The Eco Sublimated PolyTopsheet is sustainably produced. The sintered base is very fast, but requires careful maintenance.

Snowboards er som regel leveret klar til brug med en vokset base og slebede kanter. Men denne såkaldte fabriksklargøring er ikke særlig holdbar og dit nye snowboard bør vokses efter et par dage og vedligholdes på regelmæssig basis.
