DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Liveliness and Response
The Full Carbon 3D Shape construction, combined with a paulownia core, gives the Elixir 2026 immediate responsiveness. Under your feet, the board reacts instantly to your input, promoting quick acceleration and precise control on landings. You'll feel the board come alive with you during transitions and committed tricks.
Pop and Early Planing
The refined double concave and side channels improve pop and help you get planing instantly. When jumping, the board releases strong vertical power while maintaining a stable trajectory, which helps you nail rotations or unhooked tricks.
Grip and Carving Hold
Reinforced ABS rails offer secure grip in carves and efficient upwind performance. When edging hard, the board remains precise and stable, making it ideal for those who love to carve hard without losing control.
Comfort and Durability
The paulownia core provides natural dampening that limits vibrations in chop, while the meticulous finish and European manufacturing ensure excellent durability. The Elixir is designed to withstand demanding use, session after session.
Versatility for Various Riding Styles
The Elixir 2026 is perfect for sending it in big air, but it's just as at home on a comfortable freeride session. Its combination of power, forgiveness, and precision makes it a great choice for progressing in freestyle while remaining high-performance for relaxed riding.
Ready to Ride
