"Hybrid Camber DCT, Hybrid Camber DCT 2.0"
As an all-round model unique to head, it has a high reputation.It is a shape that puts the concept on the "twist" of the board center part.95% of board operations are done by twisting.It's the same as the steering wheel in a car.The board center part of a general double camber has a rocker shape, so it is hard to twist. The DCT has the board center set to a flat shape and a narrow waist.This has the effect that the operability is high (light) because it is easily twisted, and the board operation is very easy.And it is also a point that it has the advantage of double camber.The edge contact peculiar to double camber is strong, and the edge is more effective than the general camber board.In other words, the carving edge performance is high.It also features high trick performance such as press tricks.The stability of the pre-trick is high, and even beginners can easily practice.When riding in the powder area, it is easy to raise the nose and gain buoyancy.If you are a freestyler, you can get buoyancy with a switch.

▲ Good operability

▲ High trick performance such as pressing
▲ High turn edge performance
▲ Easy to get buoyancy with powder (easy to lift the nose from the board center)

★ It is an all-round shape in freestyle proposed by head.
