The 2026 Gnu Gremlin completely owns the mountain and it isn't hard to see why. Built for slashing powder, blasting through hard pack, and ripping on icy early morning groomers, the Gremlin boasts a one board quiver status and is perfect for any advanced rider looking to step up. The unique, retro shape will initially catch everyones attention from the chairlift, but the mid flex and C3 Aggressive All Terrain Contour will have all eyes on you as you fly past everyone with ease going down the mountain. Perhaps some day, you will be ready, and when that day comes, the Gremlin will be waiting. * Due to the volume shift of this board, we recommend riding this board 2cm shorter than your normal board. * Board Type:All Mountain - Freeride: All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything. Freeride snowboards are built for steeper, off-piste terrain. These boards are ideal for aggressive riding and usually for more advanced riders. Flex: 7/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff): Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding. Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced: Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres. Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks. Shape: Tapered Directional: A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. While it excels in one direction, the taper helps the board naturally guide you through challenging conditions. Camber Type:C3: Very mild rocker between your feet with powerful camber to the tip and tail. This is Mervins version of traditional camber, offering maximum edge hold, pop, power and precision with extra float and carve. Width: Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes. 2x4 Inserts: These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk. Board Construction: Topsheet: Eco Sublimated Poly Texture Topsheet. Similar to the untextured Eco Sublimated Poly Top, this topsheet uses eco-friendly sublimation that is .strong and environmentally friendly but has texture to it making it stronger and more resistant to snow build up. Laminate: Tri-Ax/Bi-Ax Fiber. The Tri-Ax and Bi-Ax alloy glass offers a smooth ride while keeping weight low. Core: G Lite 2 Core. The G Lite 2 core is made of FSC certified Aspen and Paulownia wood. This creates an incredibly light core that is strong, low weight, and poppy. Sidewall: UHMW Sidewalls. Made of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, this plastic is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and impact Base:Sintered Knife Cut Base. This base is made of a fast sintered material with a die-cut base to reduce waste. Magne-Traction: Seven strategically placed serrations along the edges of the board grip onto the snow and hold a strong edge in any condition.
