NOVEMBER "ARTISTE" - A look at the further evolution of the full model change

NOVEMBER's flagship model "ARTISTE," which continues to lead the snowboarding scene, will undergo a full model change and be released for the 2025-2026 season.
The ARTISTE has continued to evolve as an all-round board that delivers the best performance in any field, and now the shape, construction, and materials have all been revised to make it even more high-performance.

"I want to enjoy everything from the park to carving and powder with just one board." "I want the sharpness of tricks and the stability of turns."
To meet the needs of such riders, the latest model has been improved in every detail. Let's take a closer look at the key points of evolution.

The evolved shape improves stability and maneuverability

 

Wide shape for increased stability and reduced boot drag

The 25/26 model has a slightly wider board width, which provides increased stability when landing jumps and improves balance when turning.
In addition, the wide shape reduces boot drag (the phenomenon where the toes or heels come into contact with the snow surface).
It allows you to push yourself further into deep carving and aggressive riding, which will be especially beneficial for riders with larger feet.
Additionally, the wide model with the letter "W" is even wider than the previous model, providing greater stability.

Square nose and tail for enhanced edge grip

The 25/26 model has an outline that emphasizes the square shape of the nose and tail.
The effective edge is longer, improving edge grip when turning. It also increases stability when carving and makes turns sharper.
It also makes it easier to hook the edge when performing tricks, making it easier to initiate spins and ollies.

By squaring the nose and tail, we were able to lengthen the effective edge while still maintaining the ARTISTE's original maneuverability. Turns are more stable and sharper.

Composite side cut (7R) allows for smoother turns

The latest model features a new 7R compound sidecut (a combination of seven different R (radius) curves). This allows for smoother arcs during turns and a more natural feel when switching edges.
In addition, to accommodate the wider board, the side curve radius has been adjusted to be smaller overall, eliminating the loose maneuverability that is typical of wide boards and allowing for fine movements and quick turns.
It provides a light and intuitive feel even in situations that require delicate board control, such as jibs and freestyle tricks.

To accommodate the wider board, a 7R compound sidecut has been adopted, with the side curve radius adjusted to be smaller overall.


A new structure that combines light weight and ease of use

 

On the left is the APA PLATE TYPE 3 EVO built into the front and rear feet, in the center is the polyethylene ribbon placed in the center of the board, and on the right is the HIGH POWER CARBON STRING (black line).

Changes to the internal structure have significantly improved the board's performance.

Lighter and more flexible thanks to the change in the placement of ultra-high strength polyethylene ribbons

The ultra-high strength polyethylene ribbons, which were previously arranged in an X shape, have been changed to a vertical arrangement running through the center of the board.
We've succeeded in concentrating the core of flex in the center of the board while eliminating unnecessary weight.
It's now easier to ride using the board's torsion, and the response during turns has improved. It's a well-balanced board that's flexible yet easy to control.

"HIGH POWER CARBON STRING" improves repulsion performance

Newly adopted "HIGH POWER CARBON STRING".
This is a technology that significantly improves the board's resilience (POP) by weaving vertical carbon fibers into traditional glass reinforcement materials.
As a result, while still maintaining the original ARTISTE's easy-to-handle ride feel, higher ollies are now possible, and the rotational force during spins has increased. The board has evolved into one with excellent balance that is perfect for park riding and playing on natural terrain, with more sharp jumps and tricks.

The new balance adjustment with HIGH POWER CARBON STRING has also reduced the overall weight. A polyethylene ribbon is placed in the center to make it easier to use torsion.


All-round twin for all riding styles

The strength of the ARTISTE is its versatility, allowing it to suit riders of any style.
The latest model further enhances this all-round performance.

Versatile insert hole allows for free stance adjustment

The latest model features a 2x6 versatile insert hole, allowing you to freely adjust the stance to suit the rider's style and field.
A setback position especially suited to freeriding is also available, making it suitable for a wide range of riding styles including powder, park, carving and freeride.

Uses 2x6 versatile insert holes

Balanced twin tip construction

The "ARTISTE" is an all-round twin tip model that features a design that allows you to ride comfortably in any situation.
With this model change, stability, maneuverability and rebound power have been further improved, making it a board that can be enjoyed from stylish riding in the park or jib to carving and backcountry.


It maximizes the rider's skills

"I don't know which board to choose." "I want to enjoy both the park and powder with one board." "I want to have fun with jibs and freestyle tricks, but I also want to master carving."
We would like such greedy riders to try out the latest model, "ARTISTE."
Despite being a wide board, it can turn sharply and the improved repulsion power improves the precision of tricks. Furthermore, the high maneuverability that makes use of the board's twisting motion brings out the rider's skills to the fullest.

The ARTISTE has undergone a full model change and evolved into a versatile board that can be used in any situation.
This board will take your snowboarding life to a whole new level.

RIDER IMPRESSION by Yasushi Kaneko

The fully redesigned ARTISTE has evolved further while retaining the ease of use of the previous model. The edges have improved grip when carving, and the new square nose and tail grip the snow firmly, providing a sense of stability that exceeds the board's size. The bounce is also comfortable, and the sense of stability is visually improved.

Fine board control such as sliding and pressing is also smooth, so you can enjoy high-speed free runs and powder with confidence.

The wide model is even wider than last year's, making it perfect for those with large feet, as well as those who want stability at high speeds. The story-like design is also appealing, and it's one of my favorite NOVEMBER shoes, suitable for any type of skiing!
