Atomic Board Flex Rating: 4: Atomic's Flex Ratings go from 2 (soft) to 8 (stiff), so this board is on the lower end of stiffness. Softer boards require less muscle to turn, and will be smooth and stable at a lower range of speeds. Soft snowboards are also much easier to manhandle in the halfpipe and terrain park. At a rating of 4, the rider of this board would be a progressing intermediate or a casual advanced rider looking for a suitable All-Mountain flex.
Atomic Japanese Import: This board was produced by Atomic Snowboards Japan. As this is a Japanese import, these are not for sale anywhere else in the United States. The board is still award-winning Atomic quality, but this is a specialty import, and since its a Level9 exclusive, the price is insanely low.

Atomic's Pop Rocker AT (All Terrain) is a rocker shape that offers the benefits of a reverse camber snowboard, such as easier turn initiation and superior float in powder. The Pop Rocker AT shape has a longer rockered section in the nose than in the tail, so when you want to rip groomers fast, you will have a strong edge hold on your heelside (when riding switch, the stronger edge will be your toe-side).
7000 Impact Base: This base is first extruded and then sintered, so it is hard and fast (like a sintered base) and requires low maintenance (like an extruded base). This is literally the best of both worlds.
2.5 Degree (Park) Bevel: The 2.5 degree bevel eliminates rail and kicker hangups and lets you stick landings on spins that you didn't quite spin enough.
Kevlar Armor Struts: Kevlar rods inside the board run from the inner insert to the tip and tail, and Kevlar is a very high strength-to-weight ratio material. So basically adding Kevlar struts to the core of the board make it stiffer, poppier, and more durable without adding much weight.
Radial Sidecut: This board has a perfectly radial sidecut (i.e. if the sidecut kept going eventually it would form one big circle) which gives the rider an expected and uniform feel on all types of turns. Truth2 CNC Wood Core: The Truth2 Core features tip to tail poplar, as well as inserts for added strength and milled-out channels for reduced weight. This core is stiffer and poppier than the Truth1 core without adding any additional weight. Biaxal Sandwich Construction: While stiffer than a Cap construction snowboard, this Biax Sandwich board is torsionally soft to help the rider manhandle the board and gain confidence. |
