The Artefact comes once again improved both is shape and construction. The result is phenomenal. Carving is incredibly-smooth and hovering in powder happens with zero resistance. It must be ridden.
If there's a board in which we've put the most dedication, it must be the Artefact. Reshaped several times since its launch back in 2016, this board the one-board-quiver most riders out there. Basically equally capable of riding piste and powder with zero compromise. With this new fully redesigned version, we've achieved much more than that. As soon as you initiate your first turn on piste, everything becomes intuitive and smooth. At high speed, things don't stop getting better: the specially-designed sidecut and contact points make carving extremely enjoyable and again, intuitive. Feel like leaving the beaten track and heading into the backcountry? The tapered shape, longer tip and directional Camrock profile make riding powder seem like a dream, allowing you to fully engage on both feet, however deep the snow may be. And if you're more into cliff jumping and couloir riding, we also have you covered. The strong UL Forest core combined with triax glass and our Carbon Power Beams bring maximum power and precision to your board, especially when you need it in potentially gnarly conditions. Finally if you like to occasionally send tricks in the park or hit some side hits, the Artefact will manage that too.
VERSATILE
This modern all-mountain/freeride board can meet most needs: piste carving, playing on side hits, occasional park, forest runs, open freeride and big mountain.
DEEP POWDER
The slightly tapered directional shape with added length on the tip combined with the long widened nose and tail make riding powder breathtakingly enjoyable.
FAST
The Durasurf 4001 Sintered Base with added structure will ensure you get to the bottom first, with a huge smile on your face, even in slushy spring snow.
