FREERIDE PERFECTION FROM GNU
Leave gravity behind and take the Antigravity with you on unforgettable journeys into untouched terrain. Inspired by the future, tested over the years and developed to absolute perfection with the Gnu Crew. An all mountain/freeride snowboard with precise feel, for all snow conditions, anywhere on the mountain.
Riding style
An all-mountain/freeride board for advanced riders. This board is perfect for fast turns on the piste and in the backcountry. It offers plenty of floatation in deep powder and reliable performance and stability in challenging terrain.
Shape
With the directional shape the nose is slightly longer than the tail. The bindings are slightly offset to the back. This increases the stability at higher speeds and the lift in powder. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential.
Profile
The C3 profile is a classic camber profile with a slight rocker between the bindings. This provides precise edge control from nose to tail and maximum stability for high airs and landings. The mild rocker makes the board a bit more playful and offers more uplift than conventional camber profiles.
Flex
The medium flex makes the snowboard hard enough for powerful turns, but still soft enough for a playful ride.
Construction
The G1 Lite construction is an environmentally friendly and durable construction design from Gnu. The core of aspen and paulownia wood is very light, sustainable, robust and poppy. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the wood core and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The Eco Sublimated PolyTopsheet is sustainably produced. The co-extruded base is strong, fast and virtually maintenance-free.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
