Board / Instinct i.KERS
We will thoroughly explain the all-mountain model "Instinct i.KERS" with head snowboards No. 1 operability, edge performance, and trick performance.
The Hybrid Camba DCT shape is adopted, and it excels in turn performance above the medium speed range.It also has high trick performance in ground tricks in the low speed range, jibing and jumping in the medium speed range, and big jumps in the high speed range.By reducing the weight of the nose and tail, the operability is significantly improved.It is a high-end model that brings together the technologies and ideas of the current head Snowboards.
The flex is set to be stiff as a whole, but the structure that makes it easy to use torsion (twist of the plate) enhances operability.Simply put, it is stable and easy to move even at high speeds.
The Hybrid camba DCT (hybrid camber) shape and FRAMEWALL (frame wall) produce the best edge performance (strong grip) and a comfortable and stable ride (shock absorption and shock dispersion effect).
head's original "KERS" "Intellifibers" (intellifibers) support riding
A function that deploys "KERS" on the nose and tail and releases energy using the energy of the nose and tail as a repulsive force while riding.By stepping on the tail in the latter half of the turn, the tail bends, releasing power as a repulsive force and accelerating.It is a reassuring support for accelerating half-pipe pumping and border cross pumping.In freestyle, it supports the height when you ollie, and even when landing out of balance, it has the effect of increasing recovery ability as stickiness.Since "KERS" is also deployed on the nose, it is also effective for switch tricks and riding.The risk of falling due to a clogged nose can also be reduced.
"Intellifibers" are deployed in the nose and tail.It converts the slight vibration during riding into energy and stabilizes (hardens) the board flex.Improves board stability at high speeds and rough burns.At low speeds and clean burns, the flex does not become stiff and maintains an easy-to-use flex.In addition, this function that supports a sense of stability when landing a jump pushes the rider.
The top sheet of the board (on the opposite side of the sliding surface) is scratch-resistant and protects it from contact with the board while waiting for a lift. FRAMEWALL has excellent durability that is resistant to contact and impact in the park section when the board is knocked down and reduces the risk of peeling.
"HEXAGONAL CORE" that produces outstanding operability
A hexagonal core is used for the nose and tail, which is lightweight and has a structure that makes use of the torsion of the hybrid camber DCT shape to achieve outstanding operability.This surprisingly manageable feature does not limit slipping.
So far, we have provided a functional explanation, but let's take a concrete look at what kind of slip is actually the concept of "Instinct i.KERS".
The hybrid camber DCT shape with a narrower waist captures the snow surface at four snow contact points and has strong edging performance.Two cambers under your feet and a thin waist catch the snow surface and keep it.

Enables aggressive turns even on icy slopes
The shape that makes the best use of torsion makes it possible to switch between short turns smoothly.
The operability of the ground trick at low speed is outstanding, and the two cambers have high stability of the press trick.

With all the soles attached to the BOX, the nose floats as much as this, creating a twist and creating a style.Everyone will know the stability of the structure where the sole of the foot captures the entire BOX.

"KERS" supports ollies and, in combination with intelligence fiber, enhances landing stability.The shape that easily produces torsion accentuates the tweak trick style.

The torsion of the board corresponds to the preceding movement when catching the rail with the entire sole of the foot and performing 270 OUT, making it easy to create the preceding movement, creating rotational force, and directly connecting to the style.It's just a model move.

Torsion is an element for making spins. Supports everyone who wants to practice 180-1080. When doing 180, make a rotation with torsion at the moment of exiting.The result leads to a stable posture and a feeling of floating in the air.

A hand plant trick that requires delicate control in the approach. The operability of Instinct i.KERS greatly increases the success rate of tricks.
It enables high-speed approach, ollie, and floating riding with stability of landing.This perfect late 180 attitude demonstrates the performance of the board.

It is possible to move freely at low speeds
An all-round board with high basic gliding ability and excellent operability that allows tricks.It is a board that can be handled sufficiently by users with average leg strength of intermediate level or above (carving turn can be done to some extent).I want you to experience the movements that can only be done with this board.This board will definitely push your limits.
