Amplid Miligram 15-16 - Details
Milligram – The summit of splitboard performance
The Milligram, successor to the LAB Carbon Split, fuses state-of-the-art materials and construction with the good old fashioned experience.
Experimentation by Amplid’s top secret LAB department has resulted in the development of the lightest splitboard construction on the market. The first step was to replace glass with carbon fiber, which has a significantly higher strength to weight ratio. A BBP core substitutes Poplar with the uber-light wood species Paulownia and Balsa in low impact regions. Birch is used beneath the bindings and around the board edge where structural integrity is fundamental. Low viscosity aerospace epoxy guarantees that every square centimetre of core and carbon fiber is wetted during production for superior adhesion; any excess resin is squeezed out of the sandwich by the powerful press. Fiberglass Impact Pads prevent metal splitboard hardware dinging the board’s topsheet in critical areas.Without connector clips the 163cm board length weighs a mere 2.5 Kg.
The Milligrams directional geometry, designed by Amplid’s owner Peter Bauer, features a very mellow elliptical nose radius and 4mm of taper: Its handling on hardpack is best described as confidence inspiring and in powder it’s a complete joy to ride.
Like every Amplid splitboard, the Milligram comes pre-mounted with Karakoram board clips; these little pieces of “wonder hardware” firmly secure the splitboard halves together for improved performance in ride mode. Pre-cut Kohla climbing skins which fit the Milligram like a glove can be purchased separately.
