Technine Icon Snowboard
This is a Transworld Snowboarding Good Wood award winning snowboard, the Technine Icon with a flex rating of a 3. Notice the cool graphics! There’s actually three graphics that the Icon has — there’s Bob Marley, Tupac and of course, Biggie as well. If you are an All Mountain Freestyle rider this is going to be a great choice for you. There’s a lot of cool technology and of course, cool graphics as well.
The profile of this board is actually cambered; yes, it is not reverse camber. A lot of people think that rail boards or freestyle boards have to be reverse camber, not so, Technine has done a great job of making a cambered board. This Technine Icon is a True Twin shaped board. The nose and the tail are going to be the exact same length and they’re going to have a flex rating that’s right in the center as well, with a centered stance. The single sidecut radius is going to keep you happy all season long. If you’re riding a lot of freestyle terrain and you’re not doing a lot of carving, a single sidecut radius will do fine. You don’t need multiple sidecut radius’s to have fun on a snowboard like the Icon.
The core of the board (which is on the inside) runs from tip to tail and from rail to rail. It’s called the PowerTech Ultra Lite Core. There’s an additive to it, it’s called the Honeycomb Air Core, which is going to make this nice and light, but still very responsive. The wood core is wrapped in Biax stitched fiberglass and it runs at 0 degrees and at 90 degrees; and there is another additive as well, carbon stringers that run on the nose and tail from the nose and the tail to just about underneath the bindings. This is going to add a lot more pop to this deck, so when you need to get on top of that rail or off that jump with a lot of ease, compress that nose or tail snap, spring yourself into the air! Besides all the great technology I already talked about, there is still another additive. It’s the internal three-layer rubber dampening system that’s on the inside of the sidewall. It’s a system that reduces the negative vibrations that your legs or body gets riding over tough terrain. So if you think this board is rad and you like cruising around all over the mountain and having a lot of fun, Transworld Snowboarding’s Good Wood award winning board, the Technine Icon with a flex rating of 3 is going to be a good choice. Thumbs up!
