Flex Rating: 4 (1 Soft – 5 Stiff) This all-mountain board features a stiffer flex rating of 4 with a directional twin shape that combines the freestyle freedom of a twin with the high-speed drive of a directional flex. The Salomon Special II Magnum Wide Snowboard is made to accommodate riders with larger sized feet.

With GHOST construction, the GHOST light core is made with milled isocore foam that replaces regular wood strips in strategic areas to reduce core density, while maintaining full board strength. Carbon and Hybrid stringers are sewn into the triax layer for pop and stability at high speeds and easy maneuverability when you’re keeping it mellow. GHOST XY carbon stringers are buried right underneath the topsheet and place soft torsion between your feet for perfect board feel and strong torsion under your bindings for control at high speeds to leave you with a board that has some powerful pop and feels good at any speed.

The Zeolit base is made with small particles of hydrophobic Zeolit fused into high molecular weight Sintered base to generate an exothermic reaction, which is a fancy way of saying that there is a micro-thin film of water between the snow and your base to stay fast, aided by the Medium Stone Grind that gives you speed in any snow condition.

Rubber rails provide soft 2mm rubber that cuddles up to the stainless steel edges to keep your ride smooth and chatter free, while the quadratic sidecut blends elliptic curves for easy turn initiation, effortless direction changes and fluid edge to edge transitions.
