V-Rocker Concept blended with Doublecamber system relieves pressure for a loose ride when shifting weight. The camber sections in the binding areas maintain response when pressure is applied, suiting riders with a fluent riding style. Flex Profile: A softer flex in nose and binding areas gives you true flex for buttery jibs. Perfect for slides, presses and spins.

FLAT

ROCKER

Original Rocker shape, unmatched forgiving qualities at jibbing tricks or in the first turns. Flex Profile: Even flex profile for control and predictable riding characteristics in all terrains, from park sessions to relaxed offslope cruises.

POP

CAMBER

TWINTIP VARIO CAMBER with autoadaptive edge contact provides utmost control, many riders with powerful riding style don’t want to miss. Flex Proﬁle: A softer ﬂex between the bindings gives you a more playful ride while serious pop boosts your ollies. Perfect for jumps, spins and tricks.

FLOAT

CAMBER

DIRECTIONAL VARIO CAMBER impresses with great floating capability and a surfy feel in deep snow. Flex Profile: Reflex core profile with stiffer binding sections, softer nose and a stiffer tail provides for riding stability, especially on hardpack.

RIDING

FIT!

Optimized HoneyComb core constructions for every board. 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE FOR A BETTER RIDE!

HoneyComb is a hexagonal structure made of recycled paper and air â&#x20AC;&#x201C; super light and extremely flexible while offering great stability under pressure. Applied in the appropriate core sections, it optimises the board performance significantly:

1. Super

light

2. Smooth power transmission

SuperSpin

Increased longitudinal HoneyComb segment in the central section of our SLX provide precise board flex. SuperSpin segments in the tip and tail reduce swing weight: pure freestyle performance! The overall core weight is reduced by 40%.

3. Sensational flex characteristics

FANATIC

Our all new 3B core with a new generation of HoneyComb design: fullsize Superspin segments mark a milestone in technology. The NT core offers unprecedented weight reduction featured in our PHION Series.

Spacious HoneyComb segment in central area reduces the core weight by 25%. Dampening properties coupled with juicy rebound â&#x20AC;&#x201C; resulting in top notch allterrain Freestyle performance

Technology

Ultra lightweight HoneyComb segments in nose and tail sections reduce the swing weight: Lighter nose and tail sections enable easier and faster rotations or turns. Reduced vibrations and effective power transmission.

(SST) HC

This SL Core is optimised for park riding. Newly designed HoneyComb-SuperSpin segments in the tip and tail reduce swing weight by 30%, thus providing for easy spins and rotations.

A central HoneyComb bar shaves off 20% core weight. Well balanced torsion and flex characteristics add riding comfort and enhance buttery jibs.

WOODCORES

BASES

Degressive Sidecut

NEW: 3B Core

Nano Highspeed Base

This sidecut design features increasing radii towards the tips. Its precision and stability at higher speeds, still slightly buttery feel, makes it first choice for park riders.

When developing the all new BamBooBeam core, our goal was simple: nothing less but absolute lowest weight at maximum strength would do. The combination of superlight wood reinforced by longitudinal bamboo beams and a sophisticated Honeycomb tip construction sets a new milestone in weight reduction.

The sintered Nano Base is our fastest base available. Nano Silicate particles enhance unparalleled gliding characteristics and an improve durability.

Radial Sidecut

The single radius design creates balanced riding characteristics for a lively, yet predictable ride. Perfect for riders seeking for utmost all mountain versatility. Thin Cut Tips

About the best place to save weight: right there, where it is most efficient without sacrificing strength. Bevel T-base

A convex base in transition area lifts off the edges, effectuating a rocker for a surfy feel, yet maintaining snow contact and control at higher speed.

SLX Core

Deluxe version of hand-selected, extremely lightweight poplar cores. Its perfect balance of dynamic properties and ecological sustainability make it our first choice. In combination with HoneyComb, it offers top notch performance, strength and flexibility. SL Core

Our SL core is using tip-to-tail poplar wood in combination with HoneyComb, providing for a perfect blend of sustainability, lively boardfeel and low weight.

Base deck

Ever dreaded sticky snow on cold powder days? Our new base deck puts an end to that. And best of all, after some brushing and waxing it looks brand new again… Power Plates

Segments of beech wood provide a more direct power transmission to the edges and extra stability in the binding area. Bamboo Sidewall

Bamboo is a natural material with great flexibility. Embedded with ABS and rubber layers you get responsiveness, stability and comfortable dampening.

FIBRES

Premium Sintered Base IS 7200

The Premium Sintered offers superior gliding characteristics. In order for it to develop its full potential, it requires regular maintenance. Premium Base IS 4400

The premium Base is an extruded Base and it combines excellent gliding characteristics with durability. Works in all snow conditions, easy maintenance. ABS-Sandwich Construction

All FANATIC boards are built exclusively using laminated tip-to-tail woodcore construction. ABS sidewalls with 30° angle cut offer the best balance in power transmission, dampening properties and impact resistance.

Triax Fibre

Triax fibres enhance power transmission to the edges, thus creating a precise boardfeeling for powerful riders. Biax Fibre

Biax fibres provide the board with perfectly balanced flex and torsion. No better way for easy board control and relaxed riding characteristics. CARBON

FINISH Stone Grind Finish

Smooth stone finish with diamond structure, enabling highest speeds in various snow conditions. Quality Control

All FANATIC snowboards are hand-crafted and have to pass strict quality controls. No robots. Finetuned, varnished, polished and hotwaxed “shready to go”.
