WEAVING WISDOM
HEX MAT GLASS EPOXYD MATRIX
Prepreg biax specially developed for our Hexo2 technology. Arrives at the factory in a freezer truck and reacts at room temperature. The best option to control glue dosage, save weight and waste by minimizing resin surplus. Mixed with our Hexo2 cores = Light!
HEX MAT CARBON GLASS EPOXYD MATRIX
Longitudinal glass fibers provide proper elasticity throughout the entire flex curve. [attention: “elastic” does not mean “soft”!!!] Latitudinal carbon fiber increases torsional rigidity, which results in a snappier more aggressive ride.
GLASSFIBER LIGHT BIAX
Glassfiber will always be a more forgiving way to build a snb or ski. We utilize a highly durable biax-glass for a perfect torsional/longitudinal flex ratio. This gives our snbs and skis a feel that riders simply love.
GLASSFIBER IMPACT BIAX
Sliding rails, bonking trucks, or jibbing tourists. Riding nowadays calls for a new definition of “durability”. Impact Biax Glass makes our toys more durable without making 'em rigid or deadening the snap needed for popping ollies!
V-POP CARBON STRINGER
4 carbon strands reinforcing the power transfer from your feet to the board. This results in tons of torsional response where it's needed - amplifies edge precision, turn acceleration, and ollie pop.
GEOMETRY IDEOLOGIES
FLY TIPS
By leaving out the core and TPU spacer material we are able to taper down the tip profile and reduce weight to a minimum. The result is the most playful nose and tail the world has ever ridden!
MC BEZIER SPLINE SIDECUT
MC? Mathematically Correct. All our snb and ski shapes are designed in a 3D CAD program in Bezier-mode instead of simple radius. The result is a “physically” correct snb or ski, which definitely rides better.
DURABILTY FEATURES
ABUSE BASE TECHNOLOGY
A metal matrix behind a sintered Hyper Dense Base III distributes and subsequently lowers the heat that occurs from sliding rails and boxes. The Abuse Base material allows the base molecules to quickly return to their original state. Heat deformation is history!!!
TWINBEVEL SIDEWALLS
To protect the topsheet from chipping, all ski sidewalls are milled in two separate processes. This adds a “buffer” to protect the topsheet from taking a beating. [Sidewall material is more resistant than topsheet material]
22° SLANTED ABS SIDEWALLS
All snb sidewalls feature a 22° slant for maximum edge control and tuning. Physically this angle is the best solution against shark bites and rails dings. 22° = fewer blown out edges and better power transmission!!!
MAGMA EDGE SHOCK ABSORBER
A thin Polyurethane rubber strip between the edge and sidewall. Swallows shock and vibration for stability while haulin' ass and stomping landings. A better, more controlled ride.
INTELLECTUAL PROPS
DDT PROCESSING
Direct Digital Technology… the end of silkscreen? Not yet, but an ecologically promising alternative way to get those artsy graphics on your shred. With its never before seen photorealistic definition DDT is art reproduction of the year 3000.
360° WRAP AROUND STEEL EDGE
Instead of heavy tip protectors or oldschool anti-delam rivets we wrap extra-hardened steel edges 360° around our snbs. The result is a more durable lightweight construction.
HORSESHOE STEEL EDGE
To minimize the tension of bent metal being forced around a narrow radius all our ski tips and tails feature pre-shaped “horseshoe” edges. Annoying nose delam issues are history.
DOOMSDAY CAMBER
To improve longevity of camber, reverse or traditional, we use pre-stretched fibers in all our weavings! Land on your tail 500 times or take 50,000 turns. Your snb or skis will still have its original camber!
GLIDING SECRETS
SINTRUDED 6.6 H.M. BASE
The best combination of wax absorption, speed, and durability.New for 2011 our Sintruded High Molekular Base closes the gap between purely sintered bases and everlasting extruded bases.
EXTRUDED BA 4.4 DURASPEED BASE
The Extruded “Bonk All” 4.4 Duraspeed Base is more durablewhen it comes to handrail abrasion and is the best solution for the wax-lazy shred head. Don't be fooled though… It's still fast enough to land in the flat off any kicker.
SHRED READY
All our snbs and skis run through the same shred ready post manufacturing grinding process: Polish, wax, polish, manual removal of any edge burr. Take your new shred straight to snow and ride off…
