Everything about the Gnu Riders Choice C3
Everything about the Gnu Riders Choice C3
The Gnu Riders Choice is a technologically advanced snowboard with C3 technology and an asymmetrical design for ultimate performance and control on various terrains.
Magne-Traction is a patented technology that creates wavy edges on snowboards for improved grip on icy and hard snow. These waves provide extra contact points that enhance stability and control.
The unique feature of the Gnu Riders Choice lies in its asymmetrical design, inspired by the natural biomechanics of the body, resulting in optimal balance, smooth turns, and increased confidence while snowboarding.
The Gnu Riders Choice is the snowboard for the demanding freestyle rider. This board is designed with input from our professional team riders, from the design to the performance, and is a perfect choice for both park and powder. The latest innovation of the Riders Choice is the addition of the 3D Asym Chips under the bindings, which provides unprecedented power, pop, and performance. This technology helps you transfer your energy more efficiently to the edges, allowing you to carve tighter and have more control in challenging conditions.
What makes the Gnu Riders Choice truly unique is the asymmetrical shape. The board has a wider waist, keeping it perfectly balanced whether you are carving on a hard slope or flying through deep powder. The asymmetry works intuitively, meaning you can initiate turns more easily and apply more power on both your heel and toe side. This makes your snowboarding smoother and more natural, leading to a better overall experience.
The C2 Hybrid Contour of the board combines rocker and camber for a versatile ride that is suitable for slides, carves, and floats. The rocker between the feet offers a playful, poppy ride and provides stability, while the camber under the feet gives you that extra grip and power when needed. This makes the board ideal for any terrain and riding style, from fast turns in the snow to technical Tricks in the park.
In addition to its impressive performance, the Gnu Riders Choice also scores on durability. The board is made from environmentally friendly materials, with a sturdy construction that lasts long. The addition of popping carbon gives the board extra strength and longevity, without sacrificing flexibility and playfulness.
In short, the Gnu Riders Choice is a snowboard for riders, by riders, designed for radical freestyle action. With its innovative features and sustainable design, this could very well be the best board we have ever built.
