Product Info

2008 Gnu Altered Genetics Magne-Traction Snowboard — Using the words “mutant trees” in the same sentence as “freeride snowboard” is a right reserved for only the weirdest, techiest, most sci-fi-geekiest snowboard company out there. Gnu’s Altered Genetics MTX Snowboard uses the best mutant trees on the market. Blending the raddest properties of Bamboo, Aspen and Balsa woods to create their killingit.com Mervin AG3 Core, the Altered Genetics MTX is a lightweight speed demon serving you gluttonous helpings of pop at every opportunity. Vectran liquid crystal polymer is another Star Trek-ish innovation, but Gnu tells us this fiber foundation has 10 times the strength of titanium and makes the Altered Genetics MTX land soft on a hard planet. A tough-as-nails Sintered 9900 Base and Quasi-Isotropic Fiberglass laminates render this shred stick strong, flexy and sinfully fast. Magne-Traction geometry adds to the arm’s length list of techy features already bolstering this board. Taking mutant trees from science fiction to snow fields, the 2008 Gnu Altered Genetics MTX Snowboard is absurdly geeky technology at its gnarliest. From backcountry kickers to park and pipe rails, set forth boldly for freeride fun with frighteningly advanced technology under your feet.
