men's rental snowboard ALL ROAD 500

Difference with the basic model

_ 100% black base in extruded PE to be easy to repair

_ reinforced top sheet (upper coating of the board) structure designed for a more durable rental board.

Programme/terrain

The All Road is the All Mountain board par excellence: 50% piste and 50% off-piste. You can go anywhere, on all types of snow, on groomed slopes, off-piste and on powder, as well as on crusted snow thanks to its elongated front tip, made thinner to catch less. This is why the nose (front tip) has this particular shape.

Do not go to the snow parks: this board is not designed for modules or riding switch.

Directional snowboard

The shape of the board is directional, that is to say that the board has a front and a rear. It is not symmetrical; the rear of the board is slightly narrower than the front and the bindings, as well as the contact points of the snowboard, are set back slightly.

A directional shape gives better edge grip when turning, better control of the trajectory and more acceleration on exiting turns.

Standard camber + rocker

All the advantages of both the standard camber (thanks to the board's elasticity, a standard camber serves as a spring to provide grip on all types of snow, edge-to-edge dynamism and recoil when coming out of turns) and the rocker (under constraint, the board's points of contact with the snow come closer together, making the board more manageable). The rocker elongates and raises the nose so that it can glide better over powder.

Medium and versatile flex

Flex is the stiffness of the board between the front and rear. The flex of the Bullwhip 500 All Road is about 6/10, which is an all-round medium flex. It is reliable in carved turns while also being forgiving of edge mistakes.

Medium and versatile torsion

The torsional stiffness, which measures the stiffness of the board to twisting between the feet, is about 6/10 on the All Road 500, which is stiff enough for stability in turns, acceleration on exiting turns and liveliness in edge-to-edge transitions. This makes the board suitable for intermediate to advanced levels, while remaining very accessible physically.

25 mm setback

The setback is when the board's compression points with the snow are not symmetrical in relation to the centre of the board, but set back towards the rear. The bindings are also set back towards the rear by the same distance.

25 mm setback = significant setback for directional boards. It gives better stability in turns and lift in powder snow because the weight is at the rear of the board which naturally makes the front rise.

What size All Road 500 snowboard should I get?

Choose -15 to -20 cm on the All Mountain (for example, a person who is 1.74 m tall should choose a board between 1.59 m & 1.54 m in length).

Because the All Road has a rocker, choose one a little larger.

If you choose a shorter board, it will be easier to control. This is also advised for people who are light for their height. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed.

158 cm (60-80 kg)=> from 1.7 m to 1.75 m

163 cm(75-90 kg)=> from 1.75 m to 1.82 m

168 cm (85-+110 kg)=>1.8 m and above
