Product Details
Rocker Type
EZ-Flat Rock – Flat camber profile with a gently rockered nose and tail just outside of the inserts makes for a smooth and stable ride by reducing chatter, which increases ease of initiating and linking turns.
Flex
Flex Rating 2 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – Soft flex for the progressing and lighter weight riders out there.
Shape
Tru-Twin – Equal amounts at nose and tail and a centered sidecut allowing a rider the ability to ride in either direction.
EZ-DT – Designed for EZ-Rock and EZ-Flat Rock, the EZ-DT is mellow between the bindings and at the tips with a more aggressive grip in the binding areas. This creates a more forgiving ride when things get a bit bumpy and a tight radius blended for quick carves.
Core
Tru-Flex Core – High strength-to-weight ratio utilizing uniquely profiled poplar wood to give you excellent all-around response in any condition.
Laminates
Biaxial Laminate – The special configuration of biaxial glass design creates a smooth yet responsive feel and provides longitudinal pop and torsional freedom for easier turns and a naturally easy riding board. Some models have seven strands of vertically stitched carbon stringers.
Base
Optix 2000 – The Optix 2000 base is a low maintenance base with great strength and speed. Feel confident when ripping past your friends.

4 x 4 Insert Pattern

Terrain:
Freestyle, All-Mountain
More
Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Beginner-Intermediate Whether you’re new to the sport or working on linking smooth turns, you fall into this ability level. Typical beginner skis and snowboards are usually built with softer materials, narrower widths, and feature cap construction for an easy to turn, forgiving ride. Beginner-intermediate boots and bindings are also built for ease of use and progression, featuring softer flexes and in the case of ski bindings, quick and safe release from the ski in case of a fall.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Flat/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Flat/Rocker Rocker/Flat/Rocker is another variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered board and a flat board.

Flex Rating:
Soft

Flex Rating
Soft The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
