The Public Snowboards Research Snowboard features a directional profile with a cambered design that provides excellent edge hold, control, and pop for confident all-mountain performance. The early rise in the tip and tail offers enhanced forgiveness, with the more pronounced tip rise delivering improved float in powder and smoother turn initiation. This refined camber profile gives you the versatility to handle everything from groomers to deep snow with precision and ease!
Mountain Alert Camber – A directional version of our Alert Camber, built for edge hold, control, and pop. The tip and tail feature early rise with the tip being slightly more exaggerated for increased float in powder and ease of entry into turns.
Flex Rating – 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional
Poplar Light Core – 100% FCS-certified wood. Strategically placed super lightweight paulownia wood throughout the core to reduce weight but maintain a snappy feel. Strips of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks at the binding line and increase insert retention.
Carbon Stringer – A 20mm wide carbon fiber stringer running tip to tail to increase overall pop and response without increasing torsional flex to keep the board feeling lively and nimble underfoot. Carbon stringer is the most effective way to add pop without increasing weight.
Carbon V Stringers – Strategically placed in a V pattern in the tip and tail for increased response from the binding to the contact point. This gives the board endless snap in and out of turns and an overall increase in pop.
Urethane Sidewalls – More durable against impact on rocks or rails to prevent your board from delaminating when you get caught slippin’ in the park or backcountry.
Sintered Base – More porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion-resistant. In other words, it makes the board faster and more durable!

Go higher and ride faster strapped into the Flux XF Snowboard Bindings. These binders serve up efficient power thanks to their heelside stabilizer and resistant material that's stiff and lightweight. A symmetric retro mod highback supports hard landings and the Boost FootOn+ footbed elevates your edging.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Super Ultima Base – Lightweight with quick edge-to-edge response while the board is being flexed.
Performance Blend – A nylon and fiberglass mix for all-around performance.
Boost FootOn+ – The center is made of a soft material, and when you step on it, it naturally becomes concave, making it easier for the toe and heel to step on it. Of course, the surface is made of a material that does not easily get snow on it.
Responsive Stabilizer – A large stabilizer designed for XF with an emphasis on quick reaction and power transmission. Made of highly resilient TPU material, it protects the board while boasting high response performance.
Five Holes Highback Rotation – Five highback mounting holes allow rotation at both foot forward angles.
Flat Bottom – The base plate has a flat shape with fewer bumps on the underside, allowing for direct power transmission while still taking care of the top sheet of the board.
Toolless Lever – Find your optimum settings without any tools. The stopper prevents any screws coming loose.
Multi Disc – In addition to the conventional 4x4 screw holes, this disc is also channel-compatible.
Retro-Mod Highback – The outside takes on a classically symmetric shape. The inner asymmetric structure provides resilience while following the movement of the boots, and offers improves torsion control when landing.
Super Tough Nylon – A fiber mix with a medium flex that is perfect for all mountain riding.
Redux Lean Adjuster – A highback adjuster that offers precision adjustments when used in unison with the Flux Micro Adjuster.
Micro Adjuster – Adjust forward lean in 2.5° increments with each click for finer highback settings.
Waffle Strap – Waffle shaped cushioning provides ample hold and unparalleled comfort, and two layer-construction offers direct power transfer.
FTM 5.0 Toe Strap – The middle of the strap uses a more rigid material for increased power transfer, with top and bottom ends using a more flexible material for a better boot fit.
L-Guide – For a smooth in and out. Holds ratchet ladders down.
UU Fit – A 360° wrap evens out pressure for a natural feel and hold.
Beer Buckles – Newly engineered buckles give you more leverage when cranking down on the straps allowing you to get to the last click with minimal effort. Functions as a bottle opener in case of beverage emergencies.
