FEATURES (TECH INFO)
MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION
Never Summer only buys the highest grade raw materials and from the production of our CUSTOM FLIGHT CORE woodcores to the waxing of the finished SNOWBOARDS, everything is done in our own factory in Denver, Colorado USA. This is the only way to make sure every Never Summer snowboard is the most durable, high performance board on the planet.ROCKER & CAMBER TECHNOLOGY
Never Summer’s lineup featuring R.C. Technology (rocker & camber) and Vario Power Grip sidecut geometry combines a rocker freestyle feel with all mountain high speed performance. Unlike older generation rocker designs that may perform well in powder and parks but lack stability and edge hold when riding fast, our combined rocker and camber (R.C. technology) design destroys anything in its path from parks to steeps, to powder and high speed cruisers.This technology blends an NS custom rocker profile with separate camber areas at each end of the the board, providing unmatched power and snap out of turns. This also provides better board tracking for high speed stability and performance. The Vario Power Grip sidecut works perfectly with this new design by adding increased edgehold precisely where it’s needed most; from 2 inches outside of each binding, inward towards the center of the board providing added control and response in any condition.
Never Summer Industries looks to be one of the leaders with the development and implementation of this new technology, 2009 2010 is the second season we use the R.C. Technology on our boards. The boards have been tested on all terrain in every condition and everyone absolutely loves the feel. The performance in not only park and pipe with butters, presses, and ollies being much easier; but also riding powder, trees, and steeps is incredible for the freestyle riders that are pushing the performance of the boards.

VARIO POWER GRIP
The Vario Power Grip sidecut works perfectly with the Rocker & Camber design by adding increased edgehold precisely where it’s needed most; from 2 inches ouside each binding, inward towards the center of the board providing added control and response in any condition.
NS Custom Flightcore
Never Summer’s exclusive CUSTOM FLIGHT CORE is the most technically advanced core system we’ve ever used. Designed and built in NS’s woodcore facility, these cores fuse premium hardwood and ultra light softwood laminates together with vertical layers of elastomeric vibration dampers. These lightweight perimeter dampers actually increase vibration absorption the faster you ride while maintaining an incredible amount of snap and liveliness, providing a level of edge hold and high speed performance that only a Never Summer snowboard can deliver.Press Flex Core
This new rocker core design is perfect for the Evo-R and Revolver-R models. This core features 2 specific softer flex points between the feet creating better hinge points for ultimate pressing and ollie performance.Sintered P-tex Sidewall
We were the fi rst snowboard company to use and perfect SINTERED P-TEX SIDEWALLS, and we’ve never seen one crack. Unlike conventional ABS sidewalls, that have a tendency to crack in colder temperatures, SINTERED P-TEX SIDEWALLS maintain their integrity at any temperature.RDS 1 Damping System
This is our most extensive damping system specifically designed for the Premier F1-R and Lotus-R. Three full perimeter layers of elastomeric rubber foil are laminated between the metal edge, fiberglass and wood core. This provides unmatched stability and a smooth riding feel especially at high speeds.RDS 2 Damping System
Similar in design to the RDS 1, the laminated damping layers on the RDS 2 are more extensive the full length of the effective edge, and less extensive in the tip and tail. This combines high speed stability with reduced tip and tail swing weight. RDS 2 is specifically designed for the Heritage-R and Heritage XRRDS 3 Damping System
This lightweight system uses three narrower laminated damping layers that provide the perfect combination of vibration absorption and stability. RDS 3 is specifically designed for the SL-R, Legacy-R and Infinity-R.EDS Damping System
The EVO-R DAMPING SYSTEM (EDS) delivers increased edgehold and high speed stability without compromising the Evo-R and Revolver-R’s freestyle performance.Durasurf Sintered 4501 base
Crown Plastics has been the industry leader in sintered materials for over 33 years and has created the DURASURF 4501 sintered base exclusively for Never Summer. This new high density base is extremely fast and will provide unmatched performance and durability.BI-LITE Fiberglass
BI-LITE fiberglass combines many of the strength characteristics of STS ADVANCED fiberglass with an ultra light glass fiber matrix. This delivers incredible freestyle and freeride performance without sacrificing durability.
Carbon VX SystemNever Summer’s exclusive CARBON VX system has been divided into three separate design systems to offer the best combination of edge response, high speed stability and localized torsional stiffness.Our CARBON V-Twin, VXM and VXR systems use NS’s engineered carbon laminate “V”s to increase energy transfer from the point of generation under the bindings to the snowboard’s edge providing superior edge hold and response. Varying carbon “V” confi gurations create specifi c energy transfers and fl ex patterns to accommodate different riding styles. Our CARBON VX and V-Twin system increases snap and power directly behind each binding, towards the center of the board without creating a stiff, flat spot in the center of the snowboard, providing a powerful but smooth and consistent flex pattern |
