Rome Mechanic Snowboard 2018

Because you’ll never forget the first time you ripped a powder field, dropped a technical line or hit a jump. Built for progression and the freedom to explore the whole mountain, the Mechanic’s flat-to-rocker camber profile is the perfect for cruising or stepping to the jump line. After all, who doesn’t need a good mechanic?

Tech

FreePop Rocker Camber

Design: Flat camber under foot that extends slightly beyond the bindings. From in front of each binding through the nose and tail we place a rocker profile.

Defining Feel: For riders who like to drive response between their feet and have a buttery feel in the nose and tail, this camber line delivers a versatile performance that is primarily playful. The flat camber provides a stable platform for turning, while the rocker adds pressability in the park and float in pow.

True Twin: Our True Twin shapes are perfectly symmetrical. If you cut the board in the dead middle of the board, the nose piece and the tail piece will be identical in shape and flex. If you remove the graphic from a True Twin, there is no way to tell the nose from the tail. With their balanced feel and equality toward switch riding, this shape helps drive the personality of our park boards and the more jump-oriented all-mountain freestyle boards.

TTT Core Matrix: No plastic here. 100% wood is better for giving the flex and pop that all snowboards need—even the less expensive ones.

StraightBiax Laminate: For boards where the focus is on fun and a more mellow feel, pure 90 degree fibers drive the personality.

HotRods: Glass Single Barrel - Found in both TurboRod and HotRod Technologies, a single barrel of carbon, glass or bamboo delivers more pop in the centerline of the board without any unwanted torsional power to increase freeride edge hold.

QuickRip Technology: To give both response and playfulness to our rocker boards, we created QuickRip Sidecut to balance the inherently looser feel that rocker provides. You still get the butteryness of rocker, but you also get added power and response when you want it. We integraet two off-set sidecuts that create one sidecut zone in the nose, one between the feet, and one in the tail. The radius of the zones in the nose and tail are the same radius. We don’t blend where these radii meet, but rather deliberately create “bumps” that we call Mid-Board Contact Points. These Mid-Board Contact Points serve as the end of the running length at slow speeds—this allows the rocker boards to ride between these points at slow speed for easy maneuverability. At higher speeds when you are using the full running length, these Mid-Board Contact Points are “bumps” that add edge grip and power.

XTRD Base: A strong foundation of extruded base material that is plenty fast and super easy to repair.
