Thanks to Volkls Ultralight core & topsheet technologies, the Squad Prime is extremely light & nimble, which is ideal given that this board was made for spinning. High end features such as carbon inserts, advanced dampening technologies & wooden sidewalls give this board great pop, while retaining consistency throughout the flex pattern of the board. Traditional camber profile will suit expert riders by offering unmatched pop, & fantastic hardpack edge hold. A slightly higher rise in the nose than the tail will provide good float in powder, opening the Squad Prime up to the major leagues of backcountry booters.
Specification Construction: Pro Camber Profile, True Twin Sidecut, Ultra Light Wood Core, Ultra Light Topsheet with Partial Grip Lacquer, Horror Shock Absorber, Wooden Sidewalls with TPU dampening, POP 3.0 carbon weave, Sintered Base Length: 158cm Running length: 123.5cm Waist
Width: 25.6cm Sidecut radius: 7.93m (average) Setback: Centred Flex: 8 FEATURES Pro Camber – This is a traditional snowboard profile, with the camber section of the board running from the tip, all the way to the tail, with no rocker sections at all. This effectively means that the whole board is constantly preloaded & ready to react to our every input. Camber boards can be a little more challenging to ride in difficult conditions, but unmatched edge hold (no matter what you hear) & real ‘pop’ from your ollies is the reward. True Twin Tip Freestyle Sidecut – A fairly narrow sidecut radius & short effective edge. Identical sidecut & flex patterns at the nose & tail, give a predictable & controllable ride when riding switch or regular. A lively, yet forgiving ride is achieved. As with all Volkl snowboard sidecuts, multiple radii are blended together to produce an extremely controlled turn, allowing slight pressure changes to alter your turn radius, without having to drastically alter body position. The Ultralight Poplar Woodcore represents a 20% weight saving over the already pretty light classic wood core. Generally used in combination with carbon stringers, axial weaves & various other flex/stiffness tuning additives to produce a super light weight high performance board. Volkl’s thinnest topsheet yet. The Ultralight Topsheet, at just 0.3mm thick is super light. Everyone could benefit from a bit of weight shaving. Sections of the topsheet lacquer are impregnated with coarse, or fine grains, this Partial Grip Lacquer add grip & a very visually stimulating graphical design. Horror Shock Absorbers are H shaped hardwood inserts in the binding areas. They absorb the shock & vibrations from the board, reducing the amount that reaches your bindings. They also add overall strength & durability to the board, while enhancing the pop. Wooden Sidewalls with TPU Dampening – Several different plys of Armor wood above a layer of shock absorbing thermal poly urethane. This not only looks stunning, but achieve a more consistent flex pattern than ABS sidewalls POP 3.0 feature 3 full length strips of carbon. One running the length of the board from tip to tail, with the other two running the length of the
