evo.com | Never Summer Snowboards > The most versatile board in Never Summer's lineup, the Never Summer Snowtrooper Snowboard is a medium-flexing all-mountain ride that gets it done, and done well, in any snow and on any terrain. With a medium flex and the added pop of Carbon VXR laminates, the Snowtrooper keeps on trucking year after year. (The "X" version is the wide model) Carbon VXR Laminate Technology Carbon VXR extends carbon fiber V's out from the inserts to the effective edge for quick response while stiffening the board torsionally. Additionally, V's are positioned to the ends of the board providing maximum boost and pop when loaded up. This is an ideal layup to transfer energy to the end of the effective edge, tip/tail and still give the board a softer more forgiving mid-flex for torsional control. Sintered UHMW Polyethylene Sidewalls Never Summer was the first snowboard company to use and perfect Sintered P-Tex Sidewalls, and they'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. Original Rocker Camber This profile is shaped for a surfy and playful feel while maintaining superior performance and versatility. P-Tex Tip/Tail Protection Boards with P-Tex Tip/Tail Protection have UHMW plastic, or P-Tex which is a softer molecular material that not only seals and protects the wood core, but also absorbs vibration and impact.
