Flex:

• 6.5/10: Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.

Profile:

• Directional Camber: puts rocker in the nose of the board, adding extra float in powder while retaining the response and stability of traditional camber which offers unmatched power, response, and edge control.

Shape:

• Tapered Directional/Directional: features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. While it excels in one direction, the taper helps the board naturally guide you through challenging conditions.

Core: 

• Super Fly II 700G Core: features stronger and lighter woods targeted in specific areas, which provides more pop and strength while reducing weight.

• Dualzone EGD: The wood grain of the core is positioned along the heel and toe edge in two unbroken zones perpendicular to the rest of the core, which gives consistent edge hold and strength.

• Squeezebox: consists of thicker, more powerful sections combined with thinner, more flexible sections profiled throughout the core. This enhances energy transfer and makes the board snappier and more stable.

• 45 ° Carbon Highlights: s a tip to tail carbon layer reducing weight and contains 45° angled fibres, fine tuning the torsional flex to make a more aggressive ride.

Base:

• Sintered WFO: This base made from a durable and highly porous base material that provides added strength and wax absorption for long lasting glide.

Additional Features:

• Infinite Ride: Burton is able to maximise pop and performance by overbuilding their boards in the factory, and then using machinery to break it down for you. This allows your board to ride the same from day one, to day 100, season after season.

• Pro Tip: The tip and tail of this board taper out at the points, reducing swing weight and promoting mobility.

• Super Sap Epoxy: Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional petroleum-based epoxies.

• Compatibility: The Channel® Board Mount is compatible with all major bindings and lets you dial in the stance exactly the way you like it.

• Frostbite Edges: Edges that extend out slightly underneath your bindings for enhanced edge hold on hardpack and ice.
