Parabolic Camber – Parabolic profiling is a unique shaping technique that replaces the single radius arc found in traditional camber or rocker, with a more advanced parabolic profile. The design blends five separate radii to create a parabolic arc, gradually reducing the amount of rocker or camber toward the tip and tail. On System Rocker shapes, the design lowers the leading edge to improve edge hold. The design makes the leading edge less aggressive for smoother performance on System Camber shapes. The blended five radii design also drastically improves the ability to tune each shape in our line for ability level, target terrain, and riding style.
