Since snowboarding was adopted as an Olympic event, the Pyeongchang Olympics can be said to have been exciting with the participation of the largest number of Japanese athletes in the snowboarding competition.In freestyle competitions such as half-pipe, slopestyle, and big air, the rigor of competing for more advanced high-speed spin techniques.Under such circumstances, the fact that young rookies were competing with overseas strong players one after another on the big stage makes us feel that we can expect great expectations for the success of Japanese players in the next Beijing and beyond.
Yuto Totsuka (16), who advanced to the men's HP final in Pyeongchang, Sena Tomita (8), who won the 18th place in the women's HP, is still an active high school student, and the appearance of boldly competing on the first big stage is impressive.YONEX's latest board supported their feet.YONEX, which has always sent out athletes who participated in the Olympic Games in the past, provided the athletes with the best board this time as well.Yuto Totsuka uses REV® Tasena SLEEK.Both are boards equipped with the latest technology that YONEX will introduce to next season's models.
Speaking of YONEX, it has strength in carbon processing such as tennis, badminton, and golf, and has technological capabilities known worldwide as a brand that produces the highest peak carbon board.To maximize the power of the athletes at this Pyeongchang OlympicsWe thoroughly pursued materials and technologies for "lightweight, high resilience and high flight" and introduced them into the latest products.The result is"STOMP-TECH 3.0" is the technology of interest used in REV® used by Totsuka, SLEEK used by Tomita, and SMOOTH®, a popular model.We have further evolved the basic concept of "STOMP-TECH" to increase the strength and flexibility while reducing the swing weight, and adopted a honeycomb structure at the tip of the nose and tail.The aim of this technology is to further reduce the weight of the swing weight.In short, this improvement makes it easier to spin the board and make high-revving tricks.This structure has a positive effect on your own riding to make more difficult tricks.
Furthermore, in addition to this "STOMP-TECH 3.0" technology, the latest REV®, SMOOTH®, and SLEEK have introduced a new material, NANOMETRIC, as opposed to the conventional X FULL ERREN as the core material. NANOMETRIC has two types of characteristics, and REV® uses NANOMETRIC DR with improved repulsive force and shock absorption to improve jump height and landing stability.On the other hand, SMOOTH® and SLEEK use NANOMETRIC XT, which has improved tenacity and shock absorption, and has been improved to further improve the stability of board control.
Innovation from materials unique to YONEX.With the introduction of the latest carbon material, controllability and a sense of stability have been greatly improved from the conventional lineup.
The board responds exactly to your intended movements and draws out the maximum power there.Beyond the limits we haven't been able to overcome with previous boards, YONEX's latest snowboards offer you new possibilities.I would like you to experience how attractive it is at the test drive events that will be held in various places in the future.
REV®
It flies high in jumps and has excellent stability on landing.REV® is a board that assists with high air and high-speed spin.Yuto Totsuka is also the model used at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
SIZE: 150, 153, 156, 159
PRICE: 98,000 yen
SMOOTH®
STOMP-TECH 3.0 and NANOMETRIC XT have been adopted for SMOOTH®, which is often used in freestyle competitions such as half pipes, and the toughness has been increased by introducing a new carbon material, and the board has evolved into a more stable board.
SIZE: 142,146, 150, 154, 158
PRICE: 88,000 yen
SLEEK
This SLEEK is a high-performance model for women that was also used by Sena Tomita. The latest freestyle model with STOMP-TECH 3.0 and NANOMETRIC XT technologies, just like SMOOTH®.Among the conventional carbon boards, it becomes tenacious and draws out high vibration absorption.
SIZE 138, 142, 146
PRICE: 85,000 yen
<TECHNOLOGY>
"STOMP-TECH" is a technology developed by YONEX to realize better freestyle riding.It is a combination of a glass fiber reinforced urethane material called ISO core, which is a lightweight ISO core with high density and excellent strength, at the edge of the aramid honeycomb core, which has both high strength and light weight.Originally, this structure makes it possible to flexibly receive and disperse the impact of landing, and by bringing a sticky bend to the board, it surely improves operability.Furthermore, in 2.0, the weight of the swing weight was reduced, and in this 3.0, the lightest swing weight in history was realized by using Hamicam at the tip of the nose and tail.There is no doubt that it is a performance that gives a big advantage to efficiently rotate high rotation such as 1440 °.
And the new carbon material "NANOMETRIC" is a material that is tenacious, absorbs the impact at the time of landing, and is rich in vibration absorption. ing.Its stability helps to increase the success rate of the technique.
A model that generously introduces the latest technology and materials cultivated in the development of various sports gears handled by YONEX into the latest snowboards will appear in the lineup next season.By changing the gear to the latest model of YONEX, there is a great possibility that you will find the advantage you are looking for.Anyway, I want you to experience the ride.
■NANOMETRIC is a material that applies Toray Industries, Inc.'s Nano Alloy® technology.
