The all new Descender Backcountry is built for riders seeking a directional freeride splitboard with the versatility to land switch and the power to charge big lines. Now updated with D3O® , a non-Newtonian material commonly used in protective gear, the board adapts to impact—stiffening the nose when needed and increasing overall stability at speed. The faster you ride, the more composed and responsive it becomes. One board. Dynamic flex. Total confidence in any terrain. Engineered for best-in-class performance, the Descender features Power Bumps™ at the inserts for enhanced edge hold and security in critical terrain, giving you the confidence to push further. Despite its strength, the weight is kept low to support backcountry freestyle riding. A light and snappy core blends featherweight paulownia with full-length poplar and ash laminates. Double ash stringers combined with rubber dampening eliminate chatter, even when straight-lining icy faces. specifications Length: 158, 161, 162 wide, 166, 166 wide Core: Paulownia mixed with full length poplar and ash stringers Construction: Triax glass with carbon stringers.

We distinguish between standard camber and low camber: with low camber, the centre of the board is slightly elevated and the contact points are further towards the centre. The Descender has an unique parabolic 5 mm camber – lifted under rear foot for extra pop and ollie power – with low tip- and tail-rocker. core At Stranda Snowboards we use ash wood and mix it with lighter types of timber as poplar and paulownia. Ash is perfect for building high-performance snowboards as it dampens vibrations and holds its camber, extending the life of your board. Adding poplar and paulownia keeps the weight down. Choosing a premium material also allowed us to reduce the use of petroleum-based composites. #image_448300524 { width: 100%; } #image_994878578 { width: 100%; } #image_723931470 { width: 100%; }
