INCREDIBLE VERSATILITY FOR EVERY ALL-MOUNTAIN / FREESTYLE RIDER

Many pros from the Gnu team use the Riders Choice again and again. No wonder - it has proven itself umpteen times and is possibly the best board ever made by Gnu. The Riders Choice will do whatever you want it to do and will give you great performance wherever you go. From tricks in the backcountry to carving on the slopes or shredding in the park.

Riding style
From advanced snowboarders to pros, this board delivers the best freestyle performance in any terrain. From the park to the backcountry.

Shape
The True Twin shape is perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that's equally versatile when ridden forward or switch. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential. The asymmetrical sidecut has a smaller radius on the heel side and a larger one on the toe side. This makes turns on the heel side easier and also more controllable.

Profile
The C2x profile comes with a short rocker between the bindings combined with a large camber underneath the bindings. This combination offers a good edge hold thanks to the camber areas, as well as good lift and unlimited freestyle action without catching an edge thanks to the rocker.

Flex
The medium flex makes the snowboard hard enough for powerful turns, but still soft enough for a playful ride.

Construction
The Asym G Lite 3 construction is an environmentally friendly and Gnu's lightest construction design. The G3 Asym core has an asymmetrical construction and is made of aspen and paulownia wood with carbon stringers. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the wood core and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The Eco Sublimated PolyTopsheet is sustainably produced. The sintered base is very fast and stays that way if you take care of it.

Subject to alterations according to the manufacturer. Image is non-binding.

 

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.

About Gnu

Gnu have been around since the birth of snowboarding, claiming weird, open minded experimentation to be their job. They have worked with mysterious materials, bizarre geometries, contours and board shapes, far out art and colors, odd terrain and freakish riders to create fantastic progressive snowboards that have helped take snowboarding to wild and magical places. A brand we are happy to call one of the family.
