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.
FlaxWalls
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.

Impact Plates
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..
Directional Diamond 3D
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.

Double Kick
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.
