For the best days and even for the ones when you just want to make it through without breaking anything, the GNU Beast XC2 BTX Snowboard will take your shredding to the next level. When the powder falls, the setback stance and a slightly smaller tail with a fatter nose will keep you afloat and crushing, even in heavy snow. Turning precision and powerful stability starts with the stiff flex and C2 profile, and just gets better as your speed goes up. Intermediate to pro, the GNU Beast XC2 BTX Snowboard is ready for you to take it to the snow!
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: 7 - 7.5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – Freeriding tuned flex for big mountain powder slashing domination.
Directional Twin – Effortless 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 chunder.
Miraculous Aspen – The strong, powerful center beam of all Gnu cores.
Powerful Golden POP-lar – This light, lively wood reduces the snowboards weight while adding a crisp pop.
FSC Certified Wood Cores – FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
Bi ax / Tri ax – This is a glass and fiber reinforcement combination to give the snowboard a long life and plenty of pop.
UHMW Sintered Sidewalls – Ultra High Molecular Weight exterior sidewalls made from soy-based elastomer are laminated to five internal wood layers for totally bombproof sidewalls.
UHMW Tip and Tail Impact Protection
Birch Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls – These sidewalls transfer energy to the edges more rapidly. Aiming to give you unmatched control, pop, precision, and response.
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.
Magne-Traction™ .5 – Mellow strategically located serrations on your edges that create confidence building, fatigue-reducing, edge hold all over the mountain especially on hardpack and ice.
Eco-Sublimation PBT Topsheet – This 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 was made environmentally-friendly.
