GNU Riders Choice Asym C2X Snowboard 2023
The GNU Riders Choice Asym C2X Snowboard breaks out all the stops, incorporating all of the highest end materials and signature tech that GNU is known for. It uses an asymmetrical design for easy, powerful turns, Magne-Traction edges for insane grip, a hybrid C2x Banana profile for tons of pop and pivot, and finishes this off with Carbon Power bands for a little extra oomph. And of course, the board is Mervin Made, so it's all done by hand in the great state of Washington using the most eco-friendly methods possible. The end result is a premier all-mountain freestyle deck that handles anything with explosive style and unlimited fun.

Freestyle, All-Mountain

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Camber/Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber/Rocker/Camber Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that’s specific to snowboards and which works because the rider’s weight flattens the two cambered areas. This design produces a strong, pressured carving zone between the rider’s feet and retains pop and carving precision at the tip and tail.

Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.

Rome 390 Boss Snowboard Bindings 2023
Everyone loves the Rome 390 Boss Snowboard Bindings, because they're great at helping your feet find the right path through the snow. With all new Bombproof Buckles for superior durability and a Fast Entry system that cuts down time when you get off the lift, these mid flexing, full wrap bindings were made to stomp.
Product Details
Flex
Flex Rating – Medium, for park laps and groomers.
Baseplate
FullWrap – Rome's bombproof chassis; designed for durability, maximum power transfer, and stability at speeds.
Adjustable Baseplate – Created to help fit a wider range of boot models and sizes.
Baseplate Materials – 70% Nylon / 30% Glass
Highback
Highback Rotation – Designed so riders can adjust their highbacks to mirror the angle of their heelside edge for maximum power transfer.
Highback Materials – 100% Nylon
Straps
PureFlex Ankle Strap – Built with maximum coring and minimally styled, this ankle strap is medium flexing and built to tweak.
PureGrip Toe Strap – Built for foolproof simplicity, this minimalist styled toe strap has maximum coring for a lightweight and versatile design.
AuxTech – Geometric patterns that become thicker perpendicularly when stretched. Think of them as a network of tiny hinges that, when pressure is applied, actually expand and open. This creates a more direct connection to the boot.
Buckles
Bombproof Buckles – BombProof Buckles are a one-piece forged aluminum construction for better grip and durability. Built with wider stance teeth area for more engagement, this makes for easier ratcheting and increased protection from wear and tear to your ladder straps.
