Description
This split is now available in 150, 155 & 160. It has received several awards from the ski rando mag magazine for its versatility & responsiveness.
This mixed split has been our best seller for years now, you don't change a winning team. Over the years the topo has become lighter without ever losing its robustness. A splitboard needs reactivity to relaunch or hold the curves . To do this you need to have a high-performance construction. We don't like soft splitboards. The softer it is, the more likely you are to break it. In valley transitions, you could break a ski in a gully. To remedy this We have made some changes to this, taking into account feedback from the Team & customers.
This time we did not opt for a wooden topsheet. Wood is very aesthetic but in splitboard sometimes if you use your knives badly it is possible to put snags. In terms of decoration it is typical as its name suggests. Simple and effective. Always set back on the back foot you will be able to float in the snow wonderfully. If there is no snow you will be able to carve super well by pressing on your legs, this split loves the turn relaunch. Its shape will not prevent you from riding switch. This split has a different shape from the Forest, Legalize or White but if you want a split a little more typical powder without really straying from something already known, then this will be the right choice.
IS 7200 sole almost all black to facilitate repair in case of impact. The blacker the sole & the less design cutouts, the better your glide will be. Biax fiber in topsheet to enjoy hours of riding. Densified core mix poplar paulonia for strength & appreciate the deformation of bumpy terrain. Classic camber a little back on the back foot to appreciate the 5 cm set back. European manufacturing. Stone Snowboards clips & hooks, custom Stone seal skins. The topo is available in 3 sizes, 150 155 and 160 available bare or in a complete pack.

HARDENER 6012
Hardener 6012 is a light brown liquid that is a mixture of polyaminoamide and aliphatic amines, produced with up to 65% plant-derived carbon that has been confirmed by an independent radiocarbon laboratory in AMS tests in accordance with ASTM D6866. The final plant-derived carbon content depends on the ratio between the two components. In the case of SYSTEM 6012, it is 22%.
Directional shape with a 5cm set back.
Camber Detail: "Hybrid" Camber + Rocker. It's a mix between a Classic Camber & a Camber that pulls flat. Obviously the rocker will allow you to float like a boat.
What is meant by flex?
This is the way a board tends to twist. At Stone we evaluate it from 0 to 10. The stiffer a board is, the more it is designed to send & less forgive. Conversely, the softer a board is, the less responsive it will be when relaunching but will forgive you certain mistakes. Let's explain: at the start, the softer a board is, the more over the sessions the board will become a real uncooked sausage. At Stone we consider that riding a board that is a little stiff at the start is really optimal. Why? The core of a board is always made over the days, weeks, months that you ride your board. At Stone, a Flex 7 is considered a good alternative to go everywhere. We will then gravitate between 6 & 8 to lean more or less towards a particular desire as regards the flex.
Flex 8: Attributed to freeride snowboards to have a strong rebound and a grip. Sometimes, the stiffer it is, the less forgiving it is, you have to be strong on your legs. In splitboard, this flex is also for fans of boards that do not move in the axis or in conversions. The flex is always done by the rider.
Use
SPLITBOARD
You can ride in the mountains with a splitboard that splits in two. No need to go ski touring to exult! You understand, the splitboard will allow you to climb your favorite or unknown mountains without snowploughing & having to ski back down! A splitboard has the same characteristics as a snowboard. It can be freeride, freestyle, all mountain... The bindings in ride mode will give all the rigidity of a classic snowboard. The construction is adapted to save weight. You will not feel any difference. Our Stone nose & tail tightening systems (clips & hooks) bring everything together perfectly. On all our models, our custom Stony skins match 100%. We are the only brand in the world to have 8 splitboards in the catalog, we believe strongly in this practice, which is why in winter 2020 we finished as the French leader in Splitboard. Thanks to you, we continue the adventure with the same passion.
FREERIDE
What's better than practicing your sport freely? Going off the beaten track, jumping any bump, enjoying the powder in all its forms! Freeriding is the very essence of snowboarding. To do this, it is essential to find out about the risks presented by the riding area, necessary to know the weather and wise to have the right board. Generally less centered on its inserts with sometimes a typical shape, the freeride snowboard is set back on the back leg (set back). Why? The more you are on the back leg, the less you will force & the more you will float in the powder. You can recenter your bindings by moving them from insert to insert but if you don't do it you will not be hindered on the slope to make a turn or any curves.
