XV Sushi Snowboard - 2025

The Amptek Elite snowboard profile combines rocker and camber, providing the best of both worlds. The rocker at the ends helps with floatation in powder, making it easier to ride in deep snow, while the camber in the middle offers excellent edge control and stability on hard-packed surfaces. This versatility makes it ideal for various snow conditions.

A directional shape is designed for riding primarily in one direction, which enhances stability and control when going downhill. The longer nose helps with floatation in powder, while the shorter tail allows for quick turns. If you enjoy riding in deep snow or prefer a more stable ride, a directional snowboard is a great choice.

The flex rating indicates how stiff or soft the snowboard is. A medium flex, rated 6 out of 10, strikes a balance between stability at high speeds and flexibility for tricks and turns. This makes it versatile for different riding styles, especially in freeride and powder conditions, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of snowboarding experiences.

The effective edge is the portion of the snowboard that makes contact with the snow during turns. A longer effective edge, like the 1060mm on this snowboard, provides better grip and control, especially on hard-packed snow. This means you can carve more confidently and maintain stability during your rides, enhancing your overall performance.

A sintered base is made from compressed and heated plastic, making it more durable and better at absorbing wax compared to other base types. This allows for faster gliding and improved performance in various snow conditions. If you’re looking for a snowboard that can handle freeride and powder snow effectively, a sintered base is an excellent choice.

The Amptek Elite snowboard profile is versatile enough to accommodate both beginners and advanced riders. Its combination of rocker and camber provides stability and ease of use for newcomers while still offering the performance features that experienced riders appreciate. This makes it a great option for anyone looking to progress their skills on the slopes.
