Snowboard Core Technology

The core is the heart of every board. We mill ours on CNC machines to exact weight and flex specifications.

Multi-species blended core (bamboo/aspen/paulownia)
Optimised snap, edge response, and damping. Lightweight paulownia in tip/tail reduces swing weight. Available in standard and women’s-specific geometry.
Single-species aspen core
Consistent flex and proven durability across the size range. Energetic and snappy — the all-round all-mountain choice.
Bamboo-dominant blended core
Higher tensile strength than steel, withstands compression better than concrete. Our 5-year-warranty-grade construction.
Women’s-specific core geometry
Shaped and tuned to female biomechanics — optimised flex per size, reduced swing weight, enhanced turn initiation.

Ski Core Technology

Six wood species, each selected for a specific blend of weight, energy, and dampening.

Aspen
Lightweight, resilient all-rounder. Great energy, forgiving character.
Aspen Microblock
Many small stringers give a consistent flex, smooth feel, and damp ride.
Maple
Energetic, tough, dense wood that absorbs impact and returns energy.
Paulownia
Lively, low-density with excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Reduces overall ski weight.
Fir
Stiff, strong, and dense for solid edge-to-edge performance.
Balsa
Ultra-light and responsive — a key component in class-leading performance-to-weight touring constructions.

Construction Methods

How the core, fibreglass, metal, and base layers come together defines the ride.

Hybrid cap/sidewall construction
Tip and tail capped for reduced swing weight; full sidewall underfoot for power and edge grip. Lightest, most durable construction available.
Full metal laminate (Titanal)
Titanal sheet above and below the core delivers a damp, precise, and accurate feel. Standard and recycled-alloy options available.
Triaxially braided fibreglass
Patented process — fibres interlocked at 0°/45°/45° around a milled core. Pronounced torsional strength while retaining wood flex patterns.
Full cap construction (DuraCap)
Core and internals enveloped by the topsheet layer. Generally lighter, enhanced durability and forgiveness.
Full dual sidewall construction
Maximum edge feel, performance, and topsheet impact resistance — the premium construction for aggressive all-mountain skis.
Sintered P-Tex sidewall profiling
Profiled sintered polymer sidewalls — durable, impact-resistant, reduce production waste, and provide a smoother ride.

Profile & Rocker Types

Camber, rocker, and every blend between — tuned to the discipline.

Directional Camber (snowboard)
Most responsive — camber from front foot to tail, early rise at nose. Precision and control with deep-snow float.
Combination Camber (snowboard)
Best of both: pop and precision of camber plus float and predictability of rocker.
Directional Rocker (snowboard)
Medium rise tip, flat middle, low rise tail — effortless all-terrain turns and float in soft snow.
Full Camber (snowboard/ski)
Maximum pop and edge pressure. Ultra-responsive for powerful freestyle and piste performance.
Powder Rocker (ski)
High and long rise at tip, low camber underfoot, medium long rise in tail — maximum float in soft snow.
All-Terrain Rocker (ski)
Gradual rise in tip for versatility, low short rise in tail for added control in variable conditions.
Catch-Free Rocker (ski)
Medium gradual rise in tip, low gradual rise in tail — effortless turn initiation for progressive skiing.

Advanced Technologies

The reinforcements and shaping technologies that set premium products apart.

Variable-angle fibreglass reinforcement
Alters fibre orientation along board length for precision-tuned torsion and flex. Lively, energetic, and remarkably composed.
Y-shaped titanal layup
Metal placed furthest from neutral axis at tip for precision, edge-to-edge underfoot for power, tapered in tail for smooth release.
Torsion Control Design (ski)
Progressive torsional flex — stiffest in forebody and centre, easing toward tail. Precise turn initiation and smooth release.
Pre-cambered carbon fork inserts
Shaped to offer greater response and energy return by increasing width toward the tail — more energy the harder the tail is flexed.
Volume-shift shaping
Volume moved from tip/tail underfoot — shorter, wider design with same float and stability. Better mobility and line options.
Aerospace-grade fibreglass inserts
Pre-cure fibreglass core inserts providing unmatched structural performance at reduced weight — increases edge hold, reduces chatter.
Bio-based resin formulation (30% bio-content)
Proprietary resin blend with 30% bio-content. Superior cold-temperature toughness and bond strength. Lower carbon footprint.
Natural flax fibre layer
Uni-directional natural flax improves tracking in variable terrain — enhanced suspension and composure for all-mountain and freeride lines.
Recycled metal alloy laminate
Recycled Titanal laid over edges to improve contact and control. Same performance characteristics with reduced environmental footprint.

Base Materials — 5 Grades

From entry-level extruded bases to the fastest carbon-infused sintered bases.

Grade 1 — Carbon-infused sintered base
Carbon added to sintered base for increased wax retention and decreased drag. Fastest and most durable base available.
Grade 2 — Wax-infused sintered base
Uses hardest-grade sintered base material — holds wax longer for relentless glide, longer intervals between waxing.
Grade 3 — Sintered 4000 base
Absorbs wax deep into material for relentless glide and unrivalled durability. Standard for all-mountain and freeride production.
Grade 4 — Extruded base
Low maintenance, consistent glide, easy to repair. Ideal for beginner/entry-level positioning.
Grade 5 — Stone-ground factory finish
Boards leave the factory with a flat, structured P-Tex base that properly absorbs wax and glides faster than belt-sanded alternatives.

Ski Boot Technology

Shells, liners, and fit systems engineered for performance and comfort.

Variable-thickness TPU shell
Shell walls of four different TPU grades — ultimate combination of lightness and responsiveness. Fully heat-moldable.
Eco-friendly Pebax upper cuff (touring)
Lightweight, eco-friendly material for consistent flex across cold temperature range. Improved heat-moldability.
Performance heat-moldable liner
Stiff asymmetric tongue, pre-molded ankle pockets, and high-density power collar. Tour notch available on backcountry models.
Cable/reel micro-adjustment lacing
Even pressure distribution across the foot. Incremental micro-adjustment — upper and lower zones independently tightenable.
MultiFit last system
Accommodates 97–104mm foot widths in a single shell. Eliminates the need for multiple last options.
Energy integration — Y-shaped rear support
Rivet-free cuff/shell integration that maximises fore/aft flex efficiency and lateral stiffness.
50° walk mechanism
Lever on rear cuff unlocks for 50° range of motion. GripWalk outsole compatibility standard across comfort and touring lines.
Modular honeycomb bootboard
Traps heat 15% better than a traditional bootboard. Swappable hard and soft inserts adjust dampening vs power transfer.

Pole Technology

Shafts, grips, baskets, and adjustment systems for every condition.

Carbon Web shaft
External carbon strands precisely laminated onto a carbon shaft — our lightest, stiffest, and most durable pole construction.
100% Composite shaft
Full composite construction — a great combination of weight, durability, and value.
Aircraft-grade 7075 / 6061 aluminium shaft
High-strength seamless aluminium tubing. 18mm heavy-duty freeride and 16mm lightweight touring options.
Safety-release Ripcord grip
Safety-releasable strap integrated into the grip top. Lightweight cored-out grip design with push-button hinging top.
LockJaw 6000 adjustment mechanism
T6 6000-series aluminium with Teflon bushings — 25% weight reduction over plastic equivalents. Best clamp force, most durable.
Articulating powder basket (80mm)
Ball-and-socket design with 50° unhindered movement — effortlessly matches the snow surface during traverses.
Tool-free swappable baskets
Tips and baskets changeable without tools for summer/winter conversion. Nested basket design for compact storage.
Built-in bubble inclinometer
Quick, accurate slope angle measurement in the grip — an essential backcountry avalanche-safety feature.
