Believe it or not this same GNU swallow-tail shape first surfaced in the 80s but was shot down by skeptics... Now, 30 years later it's back in the flesh as the GNU Original Swallow Tail Carver Club Collection XC2 BTX Snowboard. An aggressive directional carver with XC2 BTX Perfect/Aggressive Rocker that works with the Mini Magne-Traction to provide flick-of-the-wrist control and confidence inspiring edge hold. Carve up the hill like a butcher and experience a new level of freestyle freedom this winter with the GNU Original Swallow Tail Carver Club Collection XC2 BTX Snowboard.
XC2 BTX – A tight radius rocker between your feet is combined with radial camber out to the contact points. Ideal for more aggressive riders.
Flex Rating: 6.5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – A medium to medium-stiff flex ideal for a wide variety of conditions, from groomed runs to powder.
Directional – Tips float effortlessly in pow. Directional shapes focused on riding forward into the future. Great for traditionalists with an edge.
Eco-Unreal Lightest Core – GNU's lightest and smoothest core blend. A strong Aspen spine with Golden Poplar on either side makes for a crisp pop. Regenerative and playful Paulownia on the toe and heel edges significantly reduce vibrations.
FSC Certified Wood Cores – FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
Liquid Crystal Polymer – Plastic as strong as titanium created through a tempering process that aligns molecules in hyper strengthed polymer chains.
UHMW Sidewalls – Ultra High Molecular Weight exterior sidewalls made from soy-based elastomer are laminated to five internal wood layers for totally bombproof sidewalls.
Sintered Base – This base material was made through an environmentally-friendly process without the use of toxic solvents or curtain coats. Compression hardened amorphous UHMW creates the toughest, fastest best wax holding base material around. For best results, wax regularly.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.
Mini Magne-Traction® – A mellower serrated edge gives great edge hold with a bit more play in your turns.
Co-Extruded Topsheet – A tough and eco-sublimated topsheet.
