CHB MTX Snowboard

The GNU CHB MTX Snowboard uses wave-shaped edges to make even the most hatefully icy conditions seem mellow. A Mervin A.5 aspen core provides a damp feel with reduced chatter on the hardpack. GNU used a twin shape to let you charge a cab seven, and a directional flex helps you get more float in the powder. Thanks to burly UHMW sidewalls, this versatile ride takes on a day in the terrain park as easily as a few laps in the backcountry. If you don't believe it, just take comfort in that fact that Danny Kass started out on this ride. Yeah, he seems to be doing pretty well. *We have no control over which base color you get, so get ready for a surprise.

Bottom Line: Make icy conditions feel like powder.

I bought this board as I really wanted to try MTX and have heard such good things about the CHB. The CHB MTX kicks butt!!! It's super fast and stable at speed yet flicks around like butter! The MTX worked great on an icy early morning slope. I have rode quite a few different boards this year and it was definitely my favorite cambered board for the price. Did I mention you can press it like jello?

This board is incredible. It does absolutely everything effortlessly. It carves magnificently, floats on powder, grips ice, and is fast! I went down from a much larger board and this one handles the powder just as well and outperforms my old board in all areas, and have yet to have it lose an edge on ice.

HI there, I am ready to purchase my first board. I am on the

HI there, I am ready to purchase my first board. I am on the East coast of Canada and i'll be riding mainly groomers and in a lot of icy conditions. I'll be doing little to no Park (until my 7 year old drags me in) and i'm 6', 200 lbs. My boots are Burton Hails size 11. Any recommendations on a good board for a newbie boarder? I've heard the CHB might be a good choice?Thanks

Not sure if you've made your purchase yet Jeff but Arbor makes some great "all mountain" boards too. I ride the Del Ray and just bought the Wasteland recently. It looks like from the reviews this would be a great purchase too. Good luck on the pow man.

i feel so much better on this board than my last few. i can go from edge to edge so quickly and easily it's ridiculous. and the magne traction holds the edge so well so i'm confident to pick a line and ride it out. the board is light and has good pop so it's a joy for all mountain riding.

this thing is sick

By:

I just got this thing for christmas and went snowboarding for five days out at lost trail powder mountain, montana-idaho. The day we got there it snowed ten inches that night, so i got up early and was the first one up the mountain ready to try my new gnu chb mtx strapped with rome targas. I started down the run and just floated. I was amazed at how responsive the damn thing was. I have ridden expensive burtons that were way over priced that didnt even come close to this board. it carves like a beast and you can switch from toes to heels in a split second. Towards the end of the week it didnt snow very much and many of the runs became groomed. Once on the groomers, i became stunned again. it is so easy to turn. the manga traction digs right in and you cut nice and deep into the snow and carve very easily. The last day it snowed 16inches so i got to shred some more sick pow with it. once agian it didnt bog down it, it just floated and made me feel like i was flying. I have never ridden anything so responsive with as much pop as this board. it handled the terrain park (trama park as i like to call it) like it was nothin. I could do 360s all day without any trouble and stomp rails like i was being paid for it. This is easily the best all mountain board out there. Dont waste your money on an expensive burton, k2, etc. The next best board to this one is the burton t6 which is 800 dollars. GNU has priced this baddass ridiculously low for how nice of board it is. If anyone has any qs about it call me 8592277566
