Technologies:
C2 : A slight rocker between the feet combined with powerful camber on the toes and tails. Enough power, pop and precision to tackle the biggest slopes.
- Directional twin: A board to go in 2 directions (normal and switch) but with a backwards positioning. Perfect for shredding any terrain.
G2 : The core is made from poplar (Aspen) and Paulownia, sourced close to the Mervinfactory, to ensure a lighter weight with no impact on the board's performance or robustness.
UHMW Sidewalls : The sidewalls are made from UHMW, a type of elastomer, rather than the polluting ABS.
ECO Sublimated Poly Top : Top Sheet organic and environmentally-friendly.
Tri-ax / Bi-Ax Fiber : biaxial and triaxial fibreglass, offers strength and pop.
Sintered Sublimated extruded sole, quicker and easier to maintain.
Magne-Traction : wavy edges with better grip
La Gnu Essential est à la hauteur de nos attentes. C'est une board all-mountain qui ne recule devant rien, et qui offre une jouabilité absolue. Elle trouvera très facilement sa place dans un quiver comme la board de tous les jours. Son comportement est stable et précis ce qui la rend agréable sur neige damée ou trafollée.
On retrouve dans sa construction et son shape twin directionnel la puissance pour attaquer les pentes les plus abruptes, et la sécurité nécessaire à haute vitesse avec les carres ondulées Magne-Traction.
Les plus : jouabilité, accroche, polyvalence.
Les moins : R.A.S dans son programme
