Riding Style
All-mountain/freeride for advanced level riders - This aggressive board is perfect for experienced riders looking for a versatile deck for high-speed turns on the slopes and in the backcountry. No matter the terrain or snow condition, this is your everyday resort and backcountry performer.
Shape
The perfectly symmetrical True Twin shape offers a balanced ride that’s equally versatile when ridden regular or switch.
Profile
The Combo Camber profile combines an evenly balanced tip and tail rocker with camber between the bindings. The rocker increases the float in the powder. The camber offers good edge hold and fast power transmission on groomers. In addition, the board becomes a little more forgiving.
Flex
The stiff flex provides stability at high speeds and insane amounts of control while offering you the power and flexibility you need to stomp big moves.
Construction
The Power Lyte HCM+ is a tip to tail wood core wrapped with a double Triax glass fibre layer. The torsionally rigid and durable construction is developed for steep backcountry rides with extra power for every terrain. The Xenogen Triax 45+ laminate offers precision flex and stability that delivers quicker edge to edge response and control at higher speeds. Xenogen Triax fibre laminate is used for boards in the higher-end performance category. The Super Speed S8000 Base is super fast and durable. Highest speed combined with the highest strength. Nano-additives boost acceleration up to formula one limits.

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.
