...SIMS’S ALL-Te RRAIN CLASSIC BOUGHT BANG UP TO DATe As one of the most influential boards in the history of the sport, the Sims ATV was a crucial element in the rapid progression of rider performance through the late ’80s & early ’90s. evolving from the legendary Blade, this classic board pushed the boundaries in design & construction & paved the way for the modern snowboards that we ride today. 30 years later & the ATV still carries that pioneering spirit of the original. Aimed unashamedly at the all-terrain rider, this high-performance board is packed to the gunnels with some of the most advanced design & construction available, to deliver stunning performance across the whole mountain. Built around a unique long nose twin shape & featuring a combination of traditional camber & Sims’s Snakebite 1.8 edge tech, this all-mountain charger is in its element no matter what or where you ride. With its eye-catching graphic that pays homage to the original Blade, the new ATV is the ultimate expression of that ‘just go snowboarding’ philosophy that shaped the sport as we know it. Rider Style: All Terrain Intermediate to expert riders who are looking for a versatile board that won’t hold them back in any type of terrain or conditions. Shape Overview: All Terrain Long Nose Twin The ATV uses an advanced twin tip shape that combines modern technology with classic all-terrain board thinking. Featuring a longer nose & tail profile the ATV delivers class-leading levels of float in deep snow. On the piste, the traditional camber profile works in perfect harmony with the advanced SNAKe BITe Te CH 1.8 edge technology. This technology adds extra bite from four individual contact points in the heel & toes zones. These provide essential control to keep that edge fully engaged on even the hardest piste. Profile: Traditional Camber The ATV’s camber profile is formed from a single convex arc between the board’s contact points. This responsive profile powers up the whole length of the edge, ensuring predictable edge hold & rebound as pressure is exerted & expelled throughout the rider’s turn. Construction When it comes to construction, the ATV doesn’t hold back. Heading up the high-end built is the responsive Masters Core. Built utilising lightweight poplar with two tip-to-tail bamboo stringers running lengthwise through the centre, it delivers a smooth, yet overall poppy feel. To step the response up another level, Sims then use a 3-way lay up that combines Light Tri-Tex fibreglass at 0º, 45º, & 90º degrees, ensuring unquestionable pop, rebound, flex, & increased torsional flex. This is then further reinforced with two tip-to-tail carbon stringers through the centre of the core increasing torsional rigidity, improving both response & control. Base: Premium Racing (High Molecular Sintered) Utilising industry-leading technology from ISOSPORT, this high-density, high-speed base material is chosen for its molecular weight. This delivers unrivalled speed, excellent wear resistance, & increased wax permeability.
