Key benefits
Mid-stiff flex for dynamic and precise board feel
Directional shape for backcountry performance
High Power Camber profile for explosive pop and power in the tail
Directional
A directional outline with a longer nose, shorter tail and setback stance to optimize float, maneuverability and edge power. Designed for riders who prioritize performance on groomers and in the backcountry over park riding.
High Power Camber
Full tip-to-tail camber with our most pronounced bend and an extended flat zone under the rear inserts. This amplifies power in the tail, delivering explosive pop and locked-in edge control to drive out of turns and stomp landings on steep terrain.
Medium Traction Tech
Medium Traction Tech features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip and control.
Low Tapered
A subtle taper that aids directional performance but keeps the ride feeling balanced and dynamic on piste and resort terrain. Popular with riders who like to carve the resort or push freestyle in the backcountry, without giving up versatility on the powder days. Any shape with a taper of less than 10mm between the nose and tail.
