Konvoi Nevado Split 21-22

Konvoi Nevado Split 21-22 - Details

Due to a longer pressing time at lower temperatures, the boards have a better material bond down to the macrostructure. During lamination, two epoxy resins are used that are best suited for the respective purpose. One is used to impregnate the fiber materials and the second guarantees optimal bonding of the other materials. This plays an enormous role, especially in the case of the upper chord of the sandwich construction. This is pre-laminated and is only bonded to the board during the actual lamination process. This avoids unnecessary impregnation of the wood core with low-viscosity laminating resin and achieves an optimum bond between the wood core and the top chord. The wood core consists of two types of wood. Poplar sorted by weight lowers the weight and strategically placed ash wood inserts provide optimal power transmission and practical strength. In the nose and tail area, the base is closed by a shock absorber, which is completely anchored in the construction and thus prevents damage from use in these areas, which are very fragile, especially in splitboards. These purpose-optimized detail solutions are complemented by appropriate finishes that further minimize potential damage during use on the mountain. Excursions in the terrain bring unpleasant things such as encounters with stones or the like. A thicker finish here already significantly increases the life of the board, as more repair potential is available. Damage in the edge area, however, is usually rarely repairable, so here we have taken precautions with three measures. As usual with high-quality snowboards, there is a rubber band directly above the edge, this reduces shocks and strengthens the bonding. In Konvoi, this rubber does not have a thickness of around 0.2mm, as is usually the case, but of 0.7mm, so impacts are significantly reduced directly before they can penetrate the construction. Behind the sidewall and also above the edge is a vertical fiberglass insert and an ash wood stringer. These reinforce the structure in this area, while the fiberglass strip effectively complements the sandwich structure, similar to the principle of a T-beam. In addition, these constructive solutions also noticeably improve the driving behavior, so it is quickly forgotten that these measures also mean a little more weight.

Compared to last year, the Konvoi Nevado has again gained in inner values and has become a bit lighter. We are still convinced of the Konvoi Nevado and put it on a par with the other high-performance boards from Korua and Rossignol. The Nevado is even more sophisticated and a few years ahead of the other two. Ben, the maker at Konvoi has been building excellent splitboards for years. The Konvoi Nevado has some innovations where no other company has dared, but which bring a good boost in performance. Channels under the board, which contribute noticeably to improved edge hold and very good forward traction on the ascent, ultra-stable sidewalls and reinforcements on nose and tail, which can easily cope with hard stone contact are the highlights of the Nevado splitboard from Konvoi. But that's not all. With a length of 169cm and a weight of 3250g it moves among the lightest boards on the market with an insane durability.
