Asymmetry and Aspen for the win, once again in the GNU Rider's Choice Aspen Edition ASS C2 PBTX Snowboard. Snowboarders have spoken and want a snowboard with a user-friendly all-terrain rocker profile like C2 BTX with camber at the tip and tail for pop and float in powder and mild rocker between the bindings for the best in carving and edge control. Flexes are individualized by board length, so you end up with the perfect flex for your size. Face it, you don't turn the same on your toe and heel sides, which is why the Riders Choice Aspen Edition uses A.S.S. Pickle Technology - using a deeper heelside sidecut for easier turn initiation on the side where you have less leverage. Lastly, riders love the mountain, and the mountain loves you back for choosing a snowboard that was made in an environmentally conscious process, like the GNU Rider's Choice Aspen Edition ASS C2 PBTX Snowboard - hand built in the U.S.A.
C2 BTX – Solid tip and tail pressured camber for power, pop, precision and end-to-end stability is combined with a medium amount of rocker between your feet for float, carving and edge hold.
Flex Rating: 5.5 - 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – A medium to medium-stiff flex ideal for a wide variety of conditions, from groomed runs to powder.
A.S.S. Pickle Technology – Asymmetric Symmetric Synchronization uses asymmetry in the board's sidecut (deeper heelside sidecut), wood core components (asymmetric wood lamination for softer heelside flex), contact angles (power serration on heelside and fine serration on toeside, short heelside edge contact and longer toeside contact) and tip and tail design to make riding a whole lot easier. The board harmonizes with your bodies natural asymmetry and the unique toeside and heelside snowboard activation mechanics.
Miraculous Aspen Spine – The strong, powerful center beam of all Gnu cores.
Powerful Golden POP-lar Toe Side – This light, lively wood reduces the snowboards weight while adding a crisp pop.
Amazing Paulownia – This energy regenerative wood is GNU's lightest and smoothest core material that significantly reduces vibrations and dampens harsh landings.
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.
Birch Power Transfer Internal Sidewalls – These sidewalls transfer energy to the edges more rapidly. Aiming to give you unmatched control, pop, precision, and response.
UHMW Tip and Tail Impact Protection
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® – Strategically located serrations on your edges that create confidence-building, fatigue-reducing, edge hold all over the mountain especially on hard pack and ice.
Bio-Beans Topsheet – No toxic chemicals or coatings, just beans! Gnu has made a commitment to using new earth friendly, bio-plastic top skin made from beans that feature the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any topsheet in the industry.
