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's Reverse Camber also known as Full Rocker, this board was made to spin, butter, as well as be very nimble in powder and tree riding. Reverse camber boards are only bad at one thing: Ice. So if you see a lot of ice this might not be the one for you.
4400 Easy Care Extruded Base This base type is highly durable, requires very little maintenance and will keep your board sliding nicely down the mountain. Since a lot of people ask, when we say "very little maintenance" that pretty much means get your ride tuned once preseason and you're good to go.
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.
Symmetrical Twin: This board is a full on twin-tip snowboard. Not a directional twin tip, or an asymmetrical twin-tip. The tip and tail are exactly identical, so you can spin and land switch, ride switch, do whatever you want in either direction. 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. Twin Progressive Sidecut: The sidecut used in most (good) park boards, a Twin Progressive sidecut lets you get in and out of turns quickly and easily. This sidecut is best for spinning, jumping, riding switch and just playing around in general--and they are worst at railing icy groomers at Mach 5.
