The Salomon HPS - Taka 2.0 Splitboard is designed for speedy uphill travel without sacrificing on the descent. The reduced profile makes it Salomon's lightest, most buoyant shape, achieved by utilizing the Ghost Green Core and Damplifier Lite honeycomb inserts. The large rockered nose and tapered directional shape floats and pivots with ease in deep snow and it comes with custom-cut, cult-favorite Pomoca Skins and Plum hardware. The base is 100% recycled too, so the board is lighter on your feet and on the planet.
Powder Camber – Camber between feet for carving and precision, and huge rocker in the nose for flotation in very deep powder.
Flex Rating: 3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Tapered Directional – Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
Radial Sidecut – Radial is the classic sidecut for consistent response forward and switch.
Popster – Popster's shaped core profile thins out under foot and thickens outside your bindings before tapering again at tip and tail to maximize the natural snap and pop of wood. Feels like your skateboard kicktail finally connected with your snowboard.
Ghost Green Core – Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light paulownia wood.
FSC® Certified Wood Core
Biaxial Medium Density Fiberglass – Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
Damplifier Lite – Lightweight honey comb materials and cork combined and strategically placed in the tip and tail for better flotation, less inertia for easier steering, more control, and increased dampening and shock resistance.
GreenPoxy 28 Resin
ABS Sidewalls – The molecular structure can be described as a concrete bar combining toughness for energy transfer and dampening properties for impact absorption.
100% Recycled Sintered Base – Provides a moderate balance between the speed created by a hard surface and good wax retention.
Fine Stone Finish – Fine stone finish helps speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
All-Mountain Edge Bevel – A 1° edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut meets a 2° bevel between the feet. This delivers the most solid edge hold with no hang-ups.
Castor Bean Bio-Based Topsheet
Plum Hooks – PLUM hooks are specifically made for high performance splitboarding. Their asymmetric profile provides a perfect link between all the parts. They are light and easy to use.
