The Public Snowboards Research Snowboard is a directional freerider crafted from the freestyle DNA that made Public famous. A directional shape and rocker profile with 8mm of taper delivers effortless float in the deep, while a Poplar Light core backed up by Carbon V Stringers delivers incredible precision and response when things get spicy. This one is built for a no-holds-barred approach on the very best days of the year – go get em, tiger!
Mountain Alert Camber – A directional version of the tried and true Alert Camber, this is build around a majority camber profile for edge hold, control, and pop. The tip and tail feature early rise with the tip being slightly more exaggerated for increased float in powder and ease of entry into turns.
Medium-Stiff Flex
Directional
Poplar Light Core – A premium version of Public's tried and true Poplar core using 100% FCS certified wood. Strategically placed lightweight paulownia wood throughout the core reduces weight but maintains a snappy feel, while strips of hardwood are placed underneath the bindings to reduce board breaks and increase insert retention.
Carbon V Stringers – Carbon stringers are strategically placed in a V pattern in the tip and tail for increased response from the binding to the contact point. This gives the board endless snap in and out of turns and an overall increase in pop.
Carbon Stringers – A 20mm wide carbon stringer running tip to tail increases overall pop and response without increasing torsional flex to keep the board feeling lively and nimble underfoot. Carbon stringers are the most effective way to add pop without increasing weight.
Urethane Sidewalls – Urethane sidewalls are used on all Public snowboards for their superior dampening properties compared to industry standard ABS and P-Tex sidewalls. Urethane sidewalls are also more durable against impacts to prevent your board from delaminating.
Sintered Base – Sintered bases are more porous for maximum wax absorption, and more abrasion resistant. In other words, faster and more durable!

Flex Rating – 5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
AsymWrap™ Chassis – The choice of riders that are looking for some side-to-side tweak and a bit of a surfy feel. The 3 connection points will offer a slightly more mellow side-to-side flex without sacrificing edge-to-edge control.
ToadGrip Heel Rubber – A grippy rubber traction pad protects the back of your boot and keeps it locked in at all times.
Adjustable Base Size – The heel cup can be adjusted to help you center your boot perfectly in the binding and on your board.
Adjustable Padding – Choose from three different FootPad positions for a perfect fit with the sole of your boot.
Adjustable Forward Lean – Fast, tool-free adjustment via the cam lever on the rear of the highback. Dial up the lean for a more aggressive heelside response or use less lean to keep it chill.
QuarterBack Highback – The radically shorter design is super light and gives you more freedom to butter, press, and tweak with just the right amount of heelside support.
Rotatable Highback – Angle your highback parallel to the heelside edge for the most efficient power transfer.
FastEntry Ladder™ – Enjoy hassle-free drop-ins with ankle and toe ladders that pop naturally out of the way when you're putting your foot into the binding.
Transfer Toestrap – The Transfer Toestrap features Auxetic Shape Technology — a hinged pattern that expands perfectly around your boot without stretching or distorting the material.
Transfer Anklestrap – One-piece construction that's lightweight and bombproof. The pre-curved, ergonomic design spreads pressure evenly across the foot and offers an ideal level of freestyle flex and support.
TwoStep Toeladder – Select from two positions on each side of the binding to customize the fit for any boot shape and size.
Bulletproof Buckles – Super solid ratchets made from forged Aluminum that will never let you down. Featuring a triple-tooth action for super fast strap closure.
