RULE THE ENTIRE MOUNTAIN

Combining the ultimate powder riding experience with all terrain freestyle perfection. If you’re ready to rule the entire mountain, the Duchess is your calling.

We got Leanne on this board last season and she wouldn’t get off! With her design input, this year’s Duchess will take you from peak to park in style. The slightly longer tip and tail for effortless float in the deep stuff is combined with a twin styled shape and Hyper Progressive Sidecut for seamless response. Harshmellow tech kills chatter, vibrations and shock from flat landings and high speeds, leaving you relaxed and confident through any terrain.

Board Technology

4000 Sintered

• Fastest natural base material available
• Durable
• Absorbs wax faster
• Retains wax longer

Hyper Progressive
Similar to a formula one car suspension, our Hyper Progressive sidecut allows for ultra fine adjustment at any speed and in any condition. An infinite number of different radius are blended together flawlessly from mellow in the tips, to more aggressive in the center. This sidecut mellows out the transitions leaving you with the most predictable, best all around riding board on the market.

POP 1
Carbon has been extended to the very edge of the board for maximum power and pop combined with a fine tuned edge hold and torsional stability.

Triaxial
Glass with a directional element stiffens the board torsionally. Best bet for improved edge hold and off axis stability.

Honeycomb Technology
We use urethane skinned honeykomb in our top of the line cores. Simply stronger, lighter, and damper than the wood it replaces. We keep the tip to tail, rail to rail wood performance by inserting Honeykomb only on the lower surface of the core. You get all the benefits of honeycomb without that tin can feel.

Rhythm WH4
The WH4 Core maximizes absolutely every element of our cores. It’s engineered to maintain durability, yet be the most naturally light and lively women’s core period.

Snowboard Harshmellow – Keeping You Riding Stronger and Longer
A thin layer of Harshmellow synthetic polymer, designed to absorb high frequency vibrations associated with riding at high speeds.

S-CLASS TECHNOLOGY

KEEPING YOU RIDING LONGER AND STRONGER
Taking full advantage of every moment you experience on snow whether it’s your first few turns or that last high-speed mission, S-Class technology is engineered to keep your legs at full potential for strong riding all day long. Our patent pending feature incorporates a vibration-absorbing layer, giving your muscles a well-deserved break from board chatter. One more run anyone?

HOW IT WORKS: A board’s performance is determined by how it reacts to low-frequency vibrations. The overall length, shape, and stiffness drive these reactions and make the difference between holding an edge and chattering into oblivion. Your body also reacts well to these vibrations; absorbing, controlling and using them to power you down the slope.

However, your board and body have to deal with a lot of high-frequency noise that also happens when you are riding fast or over rough terrain. These vibrations are nothing but pain in your legs and back, as you get fatigued near the end of the day. S-Class technology eliminates 83% of high-frequency vibrations, allowing your muscles to stay relaxed and at ease. Keep riding strong all day long.

NEW! TEKSTYLE TOPS
High tech, outdoor fabrics are used in place of the standard topsheet materials. Gives us new textural effects and a look that has never been seen before. The materials are waterproof, scratch resistant, and ultra light weight. Why? Absolute lightest way to make a snowboard top.

NEW! RHYTHM SUPERLIGHT CORE
The Rhythm Superlight Core maximizes absolutely every element of our core. This is the best performing and lightest weight core in the line. With a greater percentage of Honeykomb than the Rhythm Light Core, it is engineered to maintain durability, yet be the most naturally light and lively core period.

CARBON TORSION FORKS + CARBON STRIPS
Collective performance package that delivers super high speed stability and responsiveness, powerful pop and energetic maneuverability.
