Key Features and Technology:
- A-Series Aluminum Chassis: This is the foundation of the Drone, providing the direct and reactive flex of aluminum underfoot. The A-Series chassis is designed to allow the aluminum to flex with the rider's input, resulting in a precise and powerful feel that lets you truly feel the board and the snow. It's also lightweight and backed by a lifetime warranty on the chassis.
- Extruded Aluminum Heelcup: Maximizes heel-toe response for quick and efficient power transfer when initiating turns and controlling your board.
- Two-Piece Asymmetrical Ankle Strap: This innovative strap design offers more flex on the medial (inner) side of your ankle, allowing for greater mobility and board feel while maintaining support on the lateral (outer) side for control. The frame of the strap is made from a supportive urethane material, with softer cushioning that expands when tightened to eliminate pressure points.
- 3D Shaped Asymmetrical Highback: This medium-flexing and ultra-lightweight highback is designed with all-mountain performance in mind. The asymmetrical shape provides maximum medial flex for comfort and tweakability, along with lateral control for response.
- Minimalist Core Toe Strap: A lightweight and durable toe strap designed to fit any boot shape without adding unnecessary bulk. It allows for various wearing positions over the toe.
- A-Series Soft Basepad: Provides a layer of cushioning underfoot for a more comfortable ride and helps to absorb vibrations.
- Canted Footbed: Angles your feet by 2.5 degrees to align your joints naturally, providing more leverage over the nose and tail of your board and reducing fatigue.
- Plastic Disc: Offers a balance of response and flexibility for various riding styles.
- Linkage Ratchet: Designed for smooth entry and release, as well as durability.
