Satisfy your appetite for untouched powder and tasty lines by venturing deep into the backcountry on the Gnu Beast DC3-BTX Splitboard. It has a camber-dominant Banana profile for powerful turns and uncompromising stability at high speeds, making it ideal for the aggressive rider hellbent on terrorizing pristine backcountry zones.
The DC3 Banana profile features aggressive camber zones outside the bindings for powerful turns and poppy ollies, and mild rocker between your feet adds a forgiving feel and enhances float in powder. Gnu toned down the Magne-Traction edges to give it a less grabby feel. A directional shape with a long nose and a set-back stance makes it powerful and precise when pointing it, and also increases float to keep you on top of the deep stuff. Unlike traditional splitboard clips, the included Karakoram board clips actively pull both halves of the board together, which means less chatter and better response.
The Light core features aspen in the middle for strength, with Golden Poplar running down the sides to add lightweight pop. A biax and triax fiberglass layup offers the right balance of torsional flexibility and energy transfer, so that you have quick response, yet pow turns still feel surfy and smooth. Tough UHMW sidewalls withstand abuse from rocks and stumps, and the durable sintered base is fast and retains wax well to keep you moving through slow spots. Eco Sublimation uses a water-based graphic process that eliminates the use of toxic solvents in the manufacturing process, and the board was made in the USA by snowboarders with jobs so you can feel good knowing your purchase is better for the environment and the economy.
