Burton Vapor Snowboard 2011: When Kevin Pearce landed damn near everything, it was no secret that he did it on the Burton Vapor Snowboard. Simply put, you dream it, this board does it. Featherweight for effortless flow, this year’s edition gets even lighter (and tighter) with the addition of the Slimrail, along with the artistic influence of Paul Smith. At Kevin’s request, Burton also made the shape slightly more twin-like for enhanced freestyle versatility. The 2011 Burton Vapor Snowboard is the cream of the crop.
Flex Rating: 6 (1 Soft-10 Stiff) Twin flex features increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control and flow through all terrain and conditions. An advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision, camber speaks to the core values of board design. Acting like a suspension, camber creates a lively ride capable of slicing and stomping the entire mountain.
NASA-grade wizardry harnessed for snowboarding; Vaportech™ construction is an optimized construction methodology that enhances strength-to-weight, setting the industry standard for snow-sensitivity, rideability, and overall strength. The Alumafly core is snowboarding’s first tip to tail aluminum honeycomb core. 90% air by volume, Alumafly represents the perfect union of high-grade honeycomb technology and EGD™. Get metallic pop, explosive response, and untapped acceleration no pulp-based honeycomb core could ever provide. Multizone EGD wood grain is perpendicular to the core adjacent to The Channel- the area from which a rider’s power emanates-to enhance carving precision, response, and durability. Carbon Vaporskin has higher amounts of carbon in the topsheet membrane that results in superior weight-savings, snap, and energized response.
Directional shape: the classic, most versatile snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or snow condition. The tapered tip and tail thickness of Pro-Tip reduces swing weight for easier mobility and float.
Edges beneath your bindings extend out slightly for tremendous edge-hold on hard, icy conditions. Powerful when you need them, playful when you don’t, Frostbite Edges are hungry for hard-pack while remaining ever forgiving in softer conditions. The sintered base is durable and highly porous which offers added durability and superior wax absorption for greater overall glide.
Don’t toss your old bindings. The New Channel M6 uses a standardized hardware size that improves upon performance and ease-of-use, and allows for compatibility with all Burton bindings as well as bindings from select competitors. The included M6 Transition Kit contains everything needed to ride pre-2011 Burton disc and EST bindings with the latest generation of The Channel. The Kit includes two retro discs for compatibility with Burton disc bindings as well as a full set of the M6 Transition hardware for compatibility with both Burton disc and EST bindings.
