Product Info

Don't even think about trying to keep up with your ski touring friends on snowshoes or bootpacking. Get the GNU Beast DC3 BTX Splitboard and do yourself a favor. Besides making your uphill journey easier, the Beast DC3 BTX Split also delivers an insanely good ride thanks to the Direction C3 BTX - made for aggressive riders who demand improved floatation, stability and the ability to charge in varied terrain. Magne-Traction™ uses a multi-radius serrated edge design to give you insane edgehold on the inevitable boilerplate you find now and then in the backcountry. Make the terrain you once thought impossible a reality with the GNU Beast DC3 BTX Splitboard.

Product Details

Rocker Type

DC3 BTXMild Banana rocker is placed between your feet for carving, edge grip and improved floatation. The tip and tail have maximum pressure camber giving you precise control, power stability, and tons of pre-loaded pop. D is for directional.

Flex

Flex Rating: 7 - 7.5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)Freeriding tuned flex for big mountain powder slashing domination.

Shape

Directional TwinEffortless freestyle and freeride geometry. Twin chassis (from contact to contact) but with an ever so slightly longer nose than tail. Floats on powder and blasts through crud, a Twin with an advantage.

Core

Miraculous AspenThe strong, powerful center beam of all Gnu cores.

Powerful Golden POP-larThis light, lively wood reduces the snowboards weight while adding a crisp pop.

FSC Certified Wood CoresFSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.

Laminates

Bi ax / Tri axThis is a glass and fiber reinforcement combination to give the snowboard a long life and plenty of pop.

Sidewalls

UHMW Sintered SidewallsUltra High Molecular Weight exterior sidewalls made from soy-based elastomer are laminated to five internal wood layers for totally bombproof sidewalls.

Birch Internal Sidewalls

UHMW Tip and Tail Impact Protection

Base

Eco-Sublimation Sintered BaseThis base material was made through an environmentally-friendly process without the use of toxic solvents or curtain coats. Compression hardened amorphous UHMW skived from the billet to create the toughest, fastest, best wax holding base material around. Slides best and fastest when waxed regularly to match local snow conditions.

Die-Cut BaseBase 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 hardpack and ice.

Topsheet

Eco-Sublimation PBT TopsheetThis is a unique water-based graphic process that uses no toxic solvents or curtain coats in the manufacturing process. In exchange, you have a durable, classy looking top sheet that's also environmentally-friendly.
