ULTRALIGHT BUTTERFLY
Couldn't load pickup availability
The new Ultralight Butterfly Split is an ultralight split made for high alpine pursuits where the balance of weight and performance are hyper critical.
By drastically reducing the tip and tail size, but keeping the contact points pushed out, the Butterfly Split has the effective edge of a board 10 cm longer than its length. The long effective edge is matched with a true camber profile for maximum edge power in variable alpine conditions. For added float, quick edge-to-edge response and unmatched torsional board lock, the Butterfly Split features 15 mm of taper, a 3D Contour Base 3.0, Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0, the Boltless Bridge, Karakoram Tip Lock Tip Clips and Karakoram 3C Clips. The Ultralight Butterfly Split is also built with our new Ultralight construction including a new eco-topsheet and a wood core made with two layers of carbon and multiple sections of Koroyd that absorb chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood. The Ultralight Butterfly Split matches a revolutionary shape concept with cutting edge materials to become the key for pioneering riders to unlock game changing new lines in remote terrain.
The Butterfly is designed to be ridden 4-6 cm shorter than your standard freeride board.
1. Inside & outside Traction Tech 3.0
Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.
Inner edge Traction Tech
Inner edge Traction Tech improves splitboard edge grip on ascent. Three sidecut bumps on each side of your binding keep your locked in on icy skin tracks no matter which way you are traversing.
2. Progressive sidecut
At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.
3. Quick Tension Tail Clip
Built-in climbing skin tension system using pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.
4. Boltless Bridge
The Boltless Bridge eliminates split clip attachment hardware from the base of the board by re-profiling the wood core at the clips. The wood core under the clips is thicker, providing better torsional stiffness and a more powerful connection at the split clips.
Tapered shape, 8 mm
The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.
To decide between two sizes, choose the smaller size if your priority is maneuverability and freestyle performance, choose the larger size if you're focused on riding fast and powder performance. A shorter board will be easier to turn and a longer board will offer better float and stability riding off-piste.
