Product Info
You want to channel the inner-board bald eagle eye of fire of a two-time Olympic medalist? then you want the GNU Danny Kass XC2BTX Snowboard. Made with GNU's signature tech this mid wide twin will take you to places you didn't know you could reach without a Great Eagle of Manwë (thats some LOTR knowledge for you fools). Camber on each end for pop and stability plus banana in between your feet makes for float in powder and incredible edgehold on hardpack.
Product Details
Rocker Type
XC2BTX Xtra Agro Performance Banana / Camber – New for 2014, the XC2BTX profile offers tight radius rocker between your feet combined with radial cambers out to the contact. Aggressive riders will love the unreal tip and tail control, power and pop combined with the float, freestyle freedom and carving of rocker between the feet. This profile provides even more tip and tail control than C2 but maintains its freestyle freedom. Great for aggressive pipe and park riders, this board still rips everywhere.
Flex
Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – 5 - 7 (depending on size)
Shape
Mid wide twin power freestyle
Core
SNF CGA2 – Columbian Gold, Aspen
Laminates
LCP Liquid Crystal Polymer Fibers – LCP was used as the foundation for the interplanetary Mars lander tires. Built into GNU snowboards these strong light, damp aramid polyester fibers quiet chatter from rough Martian terrain and create an incredibly smooth, poppy, lightweight ride.
Sidewalls
Fast, rugged UHMW sidewalls
Base
Sintered Base – Compression hardened amorphous UHMW skived from the billet to create the toughest, fastest, best wax holding base material around. This base slides best and fastest when waxed regularly to match local snow conditions.
Edges
Magne-Traction™ – The hot commodity in edge-technology; Magne-Traction maximizes your edge hold between your feet so you have better control and stability even on the iciest slopes. Magne-Traction varies in the serration depending on the board; regardless it will deliver a catch free ride any day. Magne-Traction™ features 7 strategically located and sized bumps along each side of your sidecut.
Topsheet
Co Ex Top – Polyester topsheet material
Graphics

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.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber/Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber/Rocker/Camber Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that’s specific to snowboards and which works because the rider’s weight flattens the two cambered areas. This design produces a strong, pressured carving zone between the rider’s feet and retains pop and carving precision at the tip and tail.

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff 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.
