Gnu Chromatic 149 2023 Snowboard
THE CHROMATIC BLURS THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN FREESTYLE AND FREERIDE
With the Chromatic you have an all-mountain/freeride board under your feet that makes every rider happy. Thanks to the sophisticated geometry, the powerful, sustainable construction and the forgiving rocker profile, you are guaranteed a fun ride in any terrain. A board with which you can have just as much fun at the glacier opening as surfing in the deepest powder.
Riding style
A fun all-mountain/freeride board for beginners and advanced riders. Carving turns on the piste, surf turns in the powder or creative runs in the park. With this board the good times never end.
Shape
With the directional shape the nose is slightly longer than the tail. The bindings and the sidecut are slightly offset to the back. This increases the stability at higher speeds and the lift in powder. The Magne-Traction® technology provides improved edge hold with serrated edges. Especially on icy slopes they unfold their full potential.
Profile
The original Banana profile comes with a large rocker between the feet and a faint camber under the bindings. This makes it easy to ride, forgiving and offers good float in powder.
Flex
The soft-medium flex allows for easy turns and provides a comfortable, playful ride on any terrain.
Construction
The G1 Lite construction is an environmentally friendly and durable construction design from Gnu. The core of aspen and paulownia wood is very light, sustainable, robust and poppy. Bi- and triaxial fibreglass surrounds the wood core and provides the necessary stiffness and durability. The Eco Sublimated PolyTopsheet is sustainably produced. The co-extruded base is strong, fast and virtually maintenance-free.
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.
