Hot Rods

Industry Leading Pop and Response

Invented by Rome, HotRods are thin rods milled into our boards’ cores starting from the insert pack and extending out towards the nose or tail. Designed to provide next level explosive pop, power and response.

Responsive boards ride better, plain and simple. We use HotRods to create responsive, lively boards so riders can ollie higher, land deeper and have quicker reactions to whatever they’re riding. Each board model has a different HotRod configuration designed to create a dynamic flex with explosive pop and response.

HOTRODS ADD MORE POP TO YOUR RIDE

Load

When you set-up to ollie or make a quick adjustment, the energy is loaded directly under your boot.

Pop

The HotRods spread the energy throughout the board, effectively boosting the motion to create next level pop, power and responsiveness. Higher ollies.
Quicker turns. Hyper-responsive riding. HotRods.

Transfer

As the movement begins, the HotRods react and transfer the loaded energy throughout the board.

HOTRODS: Next Level Pop and Response

Carbon Hotrod

Super responsive and powerfully snappy

Bamboo Hotrod

Pressable and playful with plenty of pop

HotRods are used in a variety of configurations to enhance our boards pop and responsiveness. Each configuration compliments the board’s intended riding style and shape by enhancing the responsiveness where needed.

Directional Single

All-mountain stability at speeds and with turn initiation.

Twin Double V

Freestyle oriented responsiveness and maximum ollie power.

Directional Double

Ollie power, stability exiting turns and reliable back-seat riding.

Twin Single

Torsional flexibility, pressable yet reliable all-mountain charging.

Directional Triple

Versatility, reactivity and all-terrain mobility.

Twin Double

Stability, versatility and up-hill sure footedness.

Omega: Unleash the Power of Carbon

Bamboo Omega Hotrod

Carbon Omega Hotrod

Omegas are sleeves of carbon that sit around HotRods themselves, built in the shape of an Omega. We use Omega’s to enhance the pop and response of HotRods, think of them as turbo boosters for a board’s flex pattern.

Omega carbon sheets are added to the existing HotRod configurations for even more pop and response.

Flax

The Lightweight Super Fibre

Flax is a natural, incredibly versatile, lightweight textile material that we use in our boards. Depending how the flax material is used, it has advanced impact absorption properties or the ability to create rigidity and strengthen specific regions of a board.

Flaximum power baby!

Flax Walls

Flax Walls are an I-Beam shaped sidewall reinforcement. When used in a vertical arrangement between the core and the sidewall, Flax Walls create rigidity and stability. We use strategic mapping to inlay Flax Walls in both Directional and Twin configurations.

Sidewall

Directional Flax Walls

Directional Flax Walls are used in the noses of all-mountain boards to provide additional stability and power to handle steep terrain and impact associated with all-mountain riding.

Twin Flax Walls

Twin Flax Walls are used in freestyle-oriented twin boards to provide strength in the nose and tail. That additional stability is designed to help load ollies and absorb deep landings at high speeds.

Camber

free-the-ride camber

Designed for all-mountain prowess and float in the deep. Rockered in the nose, flat under the front foot, with a positive cambered tail.

stay positive camber

Powerful and predictable, tried-and-true camber.

fusion camber

Positive Camber with small pockets of rocker at the contact points; the modern go-to for all-mountain performance.

contact rocker

Flat camber between the bindings with rocker outside the bindings; smooth flexing and pressable.

Diamond 3D

A Smooth Ride No Matter the Conditions

Our Diamond 3D is designed for edge catch free riding and crazy float on deep days. The secret sauce of Diamond 3D is a wide, flat running section in the middle of the board, with a gradual three-dimensional curvature. This means the board is stable when riding flat and initiates turns with ease while floating like a yacht in deep snow..

Twin Dimond 3D

DIRECTIONAL DIAMOND 3D

Found only in the board’s nose, Directional Diamond 3D is used on our directional boards and designed to help float in deep snow and crank long, smooth turns.

TWIN DIAMOND 3D

For progression-oriented boards, we use Twin Diamond 3D to add 3D uplift to both the nose and the tail to create a catch-free riding experience.

Double Kick

Built to Press

Used on freestyle-oriented boards, Double Kick is an aggressive, two-part rise in the boards nose and tail. Designed for locked in presses, torsional stability and riding away from sketchy landings.

Shape

directional

Boards with significantly longer noses than tails, typically featuring taper to help keep the nimble and floating in deep snow. Directional boards feature camber profiles that are oriented for all-mountain riding.

directional twin

Boards with slightly longer noses than tails, but with both symmetrical camber profiles. Directional Twin boards are well-suited for riding switch and all- mountain marauding.

true twin

Boards built with fully symmetrical specs; sidecuts, flex patterns and nose and tail lengths. True twin boards are great for freestyle riding and progression.
