The Gold Member Split with ultra-lightweight Firepower construction handles long hikes as well as steep lines in the gnarliest terrain
Travis pushes the envelope on snow and with his boards. The Gold Member Split's Firepower construction is the direct result of his desire for ultralight tip/tails and mid-section of the board while retaining stability and power for committed lines in the world’s gnarliest terrain. The Gold Member Split is ready for whatever line you and Travis are.
Riding Style
This splitboard is ideal for advanced riders who want to shred the most difficult line after a long ascent.
Shape
This directional twin provides you with some extra float in the powder and excellent switch riding capabilities. Due to the setback of the bindings towards the tail, the nose gets a little bit longer. However, the nose and the tail are equally wide, so landing switch is no problem. The Magne-Traction serrated edges give great edge hold all over the mountain, especially on hard pack and ice.
Profile
C2x means short rocker between the bindings combined with large cambers under the bindings. This combination offers good edge hold thanks to the camber underfoot, as well as great float in powder and unlimited freestyle action without hang-ups thanks to the rocker.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex provides you with a lively board that allows you to stay in control at all speeds and pop over everything.
Construction
The 'Firepower Construction' FP makes the board extremely lightweight and features thinner tip tail profile. The core consists of Aspen and Paulownia wood for the smoothest riding core with reduced weight and vibration. Additional Balsa wood reduces the weight even more. The top sheet is made of Eco-sublimated bio beans. The sintered Base is very fast but requires careful maintenance.
