Technical Features
- R.C. Technology & Vario Power Grip Sidecut
Never Summer’s new rocker designed freestyle lineup featuring R.C. Technology (rocker & camber) and Vario Power Grip sidecut geometry combines a rocker freestyle feel with all mountain high speed performance. Unlike older generation rocker designs that may perform well in powder and parks but lack stability and edge hold when riding fast, our combined rocker and camber (R.C. technology) design destroys anything in its path from parks to steeps, to powder and high speed cruisers.
This new technology blends an NS custom rocker profile with separate camber areas at each end of the the board, providing unmatched power and snap out of turns. This also provides better board tracking for high speed stability and performance. The Vario Power Grip sidecut works perfectly with this new design by adding increased edgehold precisely where it’s needed most; from 2 inches outside of each binding, inward towards the center of the board providing added control and response in any condition.
12 weeks of testing was done by all level of riders in all types of terrain and in all conditions. The feedback has been 99% positive and has given us confidence to move forward and implement this technology immediately. Never Summer Industries looks to be one of the leaders with the development and implementation of this new technology. The boards have been tested on all terrain in every condition and everyone absolutely loves the feel. The performance in not only park and pipe with butters, presses, and ollies being much easier; but also riding powder, trees, and steeps is incredible for the freestyle riders that are pushing the performance of the boards.
- Multiflex Cambered Flightcore
- F1 Elastomeric Stabilizers
- Full Wrap Metal Edge
- P-tex Tip and Tail Protection
- STS Pretensioned Fibreglass
The world’s best snowboard fiberglass, period. Our STS ADVANCED fiberglass is a pre-hardened, pre-tensioned, layered laminate that has added elastomer stringers between the 0 degree and 90 degree glass fibers the length of the effective edge. This produces a stronger bond between the individual glass laminates giving our snowboard unmatched strength, edge hold and performance.
- Carbon V-Twin Laminate Technology
The Premier F1 and Lotus benefi t most from the CARBON V-Twin laminate system which extends the carbon “V”s from the bindings to the ends of the effective edge increasing power and edge response. An additional carbon V is added to the tail to increase edge hold and power out of turns.
- Durasurf Sintered 4501 base
Crown Plastics has been the industry leader in sintered materials for over 33 years and has created the DURASURF 4501 sintered base exclusively for Never Summer. This new high density base is extremely fast and will provide unmatched performance and durability.
- RDS 1 Damping System
This is our most extensive damping system specifi cally designed for the Premier F1 and Lotus. Three full perimeter layers of elastomeric rubber foil are laminated between the metal edge, fi berglass and wood core. This provides unmatched stability and a smooth riding feel especially at high speeds.
- Sintered P-tex Sidewall
We were the fi rst snowboard company to use and perfect SINTERED P-TEX SIDEWALLS, and we’ve never seen one crack. Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls, that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, SINTERED P-TEX SIDEWALLS maintain their integrity at any temperature.
