GNU Smart Pickle PBTX Snowboard
Product Details
Rocker Type
Flex
Flex Rating: 5.5 - 6.5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – A medium to medium-stiff flex ideal for a wide variety of conditions, from groomed runs to powder.
Shape
A.S.S. Pickle Technology – Asymmetric Symmetric Synchronization uses asymmetry in the board's sidecut (deeper heelside sidecut), wood core components (asymmetric wood lamination for softer heelside flex), contact angles (power serration on heelside and fine serration on toeside, short heelside edge contact and longer toeside contact) and tip and tail design to make riding a whole lot easier. The board harmonizes with your bodies natural asymmetry and the unique toeside and heelside snowboard activation mechanics.
Core
Miraculous Aspen Spine – The strong, powerful center beam of all Gnu cores.
Powerful Golden POP-lar Toe Side – This light, lively wood reduces the snowboards weight while adding a crisp pop.
Amazing Paulownia – This energy regenerative wood is GNU's lightest and smoothest core material that significantly reduces vibrations and dampens harsh landings.
FSC Certified Wood Cores – FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
Laminates
Bi ax / Tri ax – This is a glass and fiber reinforcement combination to give the snowboard a long life and plenty of pop.
Sidewalls
UHMW Sintered Sidewalls – Ultra High Molecular Weight exterior sidewalls made from soy-based elastomer are laminated to five internal wood layers for totally bombproof sidewalls.
Birch Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls – These sidewalls transfer energy to the edges more rapidly. Aiming to give you unmatched control, pop, precision, and response.
UHMW Tip and Tail Impact Protection
Base
Eco-Sublimation Co-Extruded Base – Easy to maintain, durable, and fast base material.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Edges
Magne-Traction® – Strategically located serrations on your edges that create confidence-building, fatigue-reducing, edge hold all over the mountain especially on hard pack and ice.
