Gnu Velvet

The Velvet is designed for intermediate to advanced riders. Its flex rating of 5 and responsive construction require a certain level of board control that beginners might find challenging.

Magne-Traction uses serrated edge contact points that bite into hard-packed snow and ice much better than a traditional smooth edge. It provides reliable grip and confidence when conditions get firm or icy.

While the twin shape is ideal for park riding and switch riding, the Velvet is a true all-mountain board. Its hybrid C2 contour and versatile flex allow it to handle everything from groomed runs and powder to natural features outside the park.

Sintered bases are porous and highly durable, but they perform best when kept waxed. You should plan on hot-waxing the board regularly to maintain its speed and protect the base material.

The C2 hybrid contour blends rocker between your feet with camber underfoot, offering a more forgiving, catch-free feel than a full-camber board. You get the pop and stability of camber without the aggressive, hooky sensation that can make traditional boards harder to maneuver.

Yes, the Velvet uses a standard 2x4 mounting pattern, which is compatible with almost all major snowboard binding brands on the market.
