The V-Rocker is a signature model from the Burton Snowboards company. The V-Rocker features a specialized design that helps to decrease the amount of friction between the underside of the board and snow-covered terrain. The rocker sections of the board, located between your boots as well as under the nose and tail, are slightly elevated for increased handling in deep powder.
Function
While some riders might use the V-Rocker to hit up the obstacles of the snowboarding terrain park, others prefer to take the V-Rocker down a stretch of backcountry terrain. According to Burton Snowboards, the relaxed feel of the V-Rocker snowboard remains ideal for all-mountain riders who want to tackle numerous types of slopes. The signature Frostbite edges featured on the V-Rocker snowboard can slice through hard-packed snow and offer increased handling in powdered snow.
Special Features
Burton equipped the V-Rocker snowboard with a variety of features for increased performance on the hill. The V-Rocker features a series of carbon fiber cables built in to the nose and tail of the board. These specialized inserts help to increase the amplitude of your Ollie when performing aerial tricks and maneuvers. According to Burton, the V-Rocker snowboard features a patented Super Fly core that is constructed with a combination of hard and soft woods.
Dimensions
To accommodate the heights of avid riders, Burton offers the V-Rocker snowboard in various sizes. According to Transworld Snowboarding, the smallest V-Rocker snowboard for men has a length of 151 cm, while the largest measures 163 cm. The women's model of the V-Rocker snowboard ranges from 141 to 154 cm. The waist or center section of the V-Rocker has a width of around 25 cm.
Shape
The V-Rocker snowboard comes in various shapes. The twin-tip V-Rocker is designed for slope-style snowboarders who execute and land tricks in a regular and backward riding stance. The nose and tail of the twin-tip model feature an identical curved shape. If you enjoy navigating a steep mountain terrain at high speeds, the directional V-Rocker is the board of choice. It features a pointed nose and bifurcated tail.
