Comparison between longitudinal cut plates:
TYPE | CUT | FLEX | TORSION | WEIGHT | STABILITY | |
GS (164mm) | Normal | LONGITUDINAL | M | stiff | 2200 g | high |
GS (164mm) | Normal | LONGITUDINAL | S | stiff | 2050 g | high |
GS (164mm) | U | LONGITUDINAL | M | medium | 2000 g | medium |
GS (164mm) | H | LONGITUDINAL | M | soft | 1900 g | medium |
3 types:
- GS – Normal – M (full plate)
- GS – U – M (cut in front and back)
- GS – H – M (cut in front, back and middle)
Inserts 164 mm (plates fit most of the 165 cm and 185 cm snowboards)
Recommended for (normal): giant slalom, high level of slalom;
Recommended for: (U and H): slalom, free ride, carving;
Team riders: Alex Payer, Alena Zavarzina
World Cup riders: Andi Prommeger, Sebastian Kisslinger, Rolland Fischnaller (GS), Ester Ledecka etc.
We recommend the normal longitudinal plate for giant slalom racing, and U and H type for slalom racing and light weight and young athletes. The U and H type is a great choice for all free carvers. The biggest advantage of the U and H type is reduced weight and stiffness. The longitudinal plate is a neutral plate that works well in all situations.
