FLEX: Medium
CONSTRUCTION: Poplar 'Light' Core with Carbon V and Carbon Stringers
CAMBER PROFILE: Mountain Alert Camber
A directional version of their tried and true Alert Camber, that is built around a majority camber profile for edge hold, control, and pop. The top and tail feature early rise with the tip being slightly more exaggerated for increased float in powder and ease of entry into turns.
Key Features:
- Biax Glass: All PUBLIC snowboards feature Biax fiberglass, which provides a consistent, smooth flex from tip to tail, making the board nimble and predictable.
- Directional Shape with 8mm Taper: The directional shape, combined with an 8mm taper, promotes effortless float in powder while ensuring fluid edge transitions. This design allows for smoother turns on groomed runs and better performance in deep snow, making it a versatile choice for freeride enthusiasts.
- Carbon V Technology: This innovation places carbon reinforcements in a "V" formation to deliver precision and control. The result is unmatched stability during high-speed carving and a reduction in chatter when navigating rough terrain.
- Tip-to-Tail Carbon Stringers: Carbon stringers run the full length of the board, enhancing energy transfer and responsiveness. This feature provides the snappiness needed for explosive take-offs and precise landings, making it ideal for freestyle and technical riding.
- Urethane Sidewalls: The board incorporates durable urethane sidewalls, which improve its shock absorption and resistance to impacts. This is crucial for urban snowboarding, where the board frequently encounters rails, ledges, and other obstacles.
- Poplar Light Core: Constructed from lightweight poplar wood, the core balances durability with a responsive flex. This core supports high-impact performance while remaining agile enough for quick maneuvers and versatile use across different terrains.
-
Sintered Base: A sintered base is engineered for maximum durability and speed. Its porous structure absorbs wax effectively, ensuring smooth glides on all snow conditions and retaining speed even on long, flat stretches.
