Yuto Totsuka, who won the FIS World Cup in New Zealand the other day

At the time of the tournament.Yuto Totsuka, just 15 years old, won the FIS World Cup Halfpipe in Cardrona, New Zealand the other day.This season, which is also the Olympic year, the riders aiming for the stage of the Olympics as a representative of Japan won the championship while trying their best to win.Attention will be focused on the activities of new stars with new expectations.It was the YONEX board that supported his extremely difficult performance, and his high technical capabilities.
The board he uses is a REV that introduces the latest technology that has supported the activities of YONEX riders who have fought at the forefront of the world such as Ryo Aono.The smooth, aggressive curve in the halfpipe and the higher repulsive force give him a big advantage.

YONEX carbon board is an original that no brand in the world can imitate

YONEX is a comprehensive domestic sports equipment manufacturer that mainly provides products that make full use of carbon, such as badminton, tennis, and golf.Its high technology and quality are trusted by the world's top professionals in other sports. Speaking of YONEX snowboards, the biggest features are "lightness", "repulsive force" and "durability" derived from carbon.Carbon changes its properties greatly depending on the combination of fibers.The angle to make it hard and the angle to make it strong against twisting, for example, carbon fiber that is just stacked straight is just hard and has a repulsive force, but if you match it at 45 °, it will be flexible and will exert a force to strongly repel twisting.The merit of using carbon is the degree of freedom in its design.However, on the contrary, since it is a delicate material whose performance changes depending on the difference in only one design angle, perfection is required from design to manufacturing.Therefore, at YONEX, engineers who are familiar with carbon and have a passion for manufacturing manufacture it under strict quality control of factory production in Japan.
How light can a snowboard, which requires resilience and twist, durability and operability, be reduced?The product team, factory engineers, and contract riders have worked together to pursue and develop its performance, and YONEX's carbon boards are original and innovative that no brand in the world can imitate. It has reached the level where it can demonstrate its excellent performance.

Speaking of YONEX, carbon, tennis, badminton, golf, and snowboards are produced at a factory in Niigata prefecture under a thorough product management system.Although the material has a high degree of freedom in design, there is also the aspect that subtle differences bring about a big change, and it is only by accumulating abundant experience that a board that makes use of the material can be made. — It is produced at its own factory in Niigata prefecture under a thorough product management system.Carbon is a material with a high degree of freedom in design, but there is also the aspect that subtle differences bring about a big change, and it is only with abundant experience that a board that makes use of the material can be made.

Skilled engineers are involved in manufacturing at the factory.Due to thorough quality control, there is little variation in products.Before the contract with our company, one contract player was offered about 1 boards per season from the manufacturer.It has been consumed due to slumping and breaking, but after transferring to YONEX, it is said that only about 20 bottles are needed a year.

The introduction of carbon technology has created another major advantage.Unlike natural wood, the use of chemical products makes it possible to manufacture products with less variation in product weight and quality.This is the result of thorough quality control by production at domestic factories, and the reliability of YONEX brand products is unwavering.Also, by effectively combining materials, the performance of 1 + 1 can be 2 or 5 instead of 10.It is also the desire of the YONEX snowboard development staff to provide users with the best products with the absolute advantage of carbon technology.

Excellent performance and quality proven on the world stage with the success of top riders

The history of YONEX snowboarding for more than 20 years shows the passionate development stance of generously introducing cutting-edge technology and taking the results to the next step.In addition to that, it can be said that the great feedback was utilized and the evolution up to this point was achieved because YONEX's contract riders have engaged in the development battle of friendly competition at the World Cup, the Olympic Games, and the top of the world.

ISO core, which is the basic material for YONEX snowboards.Glass fiber reinforced urethane material with high density and excellent strength.Has the effect of dispersing and absorbing the impact of landing and converting it into riding power.

A material on a honeycomb that is both strong and lightweight.Since the flexural modulus is small, it is difficult for sagging to occur.Aramid honeycomb material that is also used for airplane wings, etc.

The left side is a carbon square tube that is lightweight and draws out strong repulsive force, and the right side is a carbon round tube that is molded into a circular shape and draws out suppleness.

Introducing state-of-the-art technology to create boards that perfectly adapt to different snowboard styles.

YONEX's featured board this season is the REGNA, which uses the lightest CSMC structure (carbon shelled microcore structure) in history, weighing only 2,090g.By wrapping the high-density, high-density and synthetic material "Microcore" in a carbon shell to reinforce the strength of the core itself, the amount of conventional reinforcing material has been reduced and the weight of the board itself has been reduced. It's a ride board.
Also, I would like to pay attention to the REV that Yuto Totsuka uses along with the success of this term.
REV adopts hard flex and high camber based on "STOMP-TECH 2.0" structure that boasts strength and flexibility.It is a top competition model that brings high air with a long flight time and stable spin performance, and at the same time, the performance of a high-performance freestyle all-round board is also outstanding.
By global standards, no brand can bring this cutting-edge technology to snowboarding.We are proud that such a brand was born and grew up in our Japanese market.Please experience the evolution with the latest YONEX board.
