Terrain: All Mountain and Freestyle
Rider's ability: Intermediate - Advanced
Binding Compatibility: 2 x 4 Insert Pattern
Rocker Type: Original Rocker Camber
- Invented and originally patented by Never Summer in 2008, the OG Rocker Camber profile provides a surfy and playful feel while maintaining superior performance and versatility.
Rocker Profile: (Camber / Rocker / Camber)
Flex: Medium
Flex Rating: 5 out of 10 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape: Directional Twin
- Classic Directional Shape , A twin flex balances the directional shape for an all-terrain ride that you can ride regular or switch.
- Directional Shape is designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while providing plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition.
Taper: 0mm
Core: NS SUPERLIGHT WOOD CORE
- Using a custom blend of wood species that was designed to be a lightweight yet durable core.
- NS SUPERLIGHT WOOD CORE is CNC sanded in their custom woodworking facility to a fraction of a millimeter.
- A tailored flex is perfected, giving our snowboards unequaled performance.
Topsheet: Coextruded Polymer
- This Premium Topsheet is a durable, lightweight, scratch and chip resistant fiber backed thermoplastic.
- This premium topsheets also provide more grip than other topsheet materials, working as a built-in stomp pad.
Laminates: STS Pretensioned Fiberglass
- The world's best snowboard fiberglass, period.
- Never Summer's STS PRETENSIONED FIBERGLASS is an advanced pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate that has added elastomer stringers between the 0 degree and 90 degree glass fibers (the length of the effective edge).
- This produces a stronger bond between the individual glass laminates giving our snowboards unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.
- Most bows use this type fiberglass due to it's unmatched ability to spring back and cast an arrow at a tremendous velocities without breaking.
Bi-Lite Fiberglass
- BI-LITE FIBERGLASS combines many of the strength characteristics of our STS fiberglass with an ultra light glass fiber matrix.
- This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
CARBON VXR LAMINATE TECHNOLOGY
- CARBON VXR extends carbon fiber V's out from the inserts to the effective edge for quick response while stiffening the board torsionally in that area.
- Originating from the binding mounting zones, Carbon V's engage the edge for quick repsonse.
- Additionally, V's are positioned to the ends of the board providing maximum boost and pop when loaded up.
- This is an ideal layup to transfer energy to the end of the effective edge, tip/tail and still give the board a softer more forgiving mid-flex for torsional control.
Base: Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base
- Never Summer's suppliers have developed an exclusive, super fast, durable sintered base specifically for their boards.
- Just the right amount of graphite has been added making the DURASURF XT SINTERED 5501 BASE one of the fastest and certainly the most durable P-Tex bases on the market..
Edges: Full Wrap Metal Edge
Sidewalls: UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL
- Never Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), and they never seen one crack.
- Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls, that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, UHMW POLYETHYLENE SIDEWALL maintain their integrity at any temperature.
- UHMW Polyethylene sidewalls also enhance damping characteristics above the metal edge.
POWER GRIP SIDECUT
- POWER GRIP SIDECUT utilizes multiple radiuses creating extra contact points to enhance edge hold.
- A flat section in the rocker area provides a broad contact point when flexed, however when unbent allows the board to track straight and not catch.
- Flanking this straight section are two shallow radiuses which provide the second and third contact points.
- Towards the ends of the sidecut are deep radiuses which render quick turn initiation and the final contact points
Additional Features
RDS 2 DAMPING SYSTEM
- RDS 2 or Rubber Damping System 2 is the perfect balance of freeride stability and freestyle liveliness.
- A more substantial system than a freestyle board to stabilze the board at higher speeds but a little less than damping in a freeride board for leaving the snow.
- An ideal combination of vibration absorbtion and energetic feel.
ELASTOMERIC UNDERFOOT STABILIZERS
- ELASTOMERIC UNDERFOOT STABILIZERS are placed directly below the mounting area, providing optimum vibration and shock absorption and increase high-speed stability.
- These underfoot stabilizers also add cushioning while reducing foot fatigue.
HARMONIC TIP/TAIL DAMPER/PROTECTION
- HARMONIC DAMPERS in the tip and tail take out a high percentage of residual vibration by quieting the nose and tail.
- This enhances stability at speed, in variable snow conditions and on board landings without deadening the liveliness and pop of the cambered areas.
LOW PROFILE TIP/TAIL
- A lower profile in the nose and tail of the snowboard maximizes material contact with the snow for more powerful ollie/nollie pop and adds stability to your landings.
- LOW PROFILE TIP/TAIL also reduces the plowing effect in the nose for better glide to the next feature and increases the effective edge for hold and stability
TRANSITION AREA
- A flat section of a snowboards profile, the TRANSITION AREA, that lies at the end of the camber zones just before the tip/tail rise.
- This area smooths out the transition between the camber area and the tip rise for fluid turn initiation and enhanced powder floatation.
Factory Tuned
- Board comes waxed and ready for the mountain right from the factory.
The Snowtrooper is the all mountain equalizer and a great board for any riding style and ability level.
It features Original Rocker Camber Profile for amazing float and turn initiation, a mid-flex for all mountain versatility, with the natural feel of a slightly setback stance and symmetrical shape.
It’s the Swiss Army Knife of snowboards..
