We’ve tailored the sidecut for a blisteringly fast response to any rider input. It’s got a blunt nose profile, with a tighter entry radius in the early rise, which we combined with a short half moon tail. Three layers of rubber dampening make for a ride that’s smooth as butter on hardpack. The nose rocker makes turning easy and creates float. Additional carbon stringers in the tail section add longitudinal snap. A precise and highly manoeuvrable board for cruising and carving. The 170 comes in a x-wide version for the 2026 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Stranda Snowboards we use ash wood and a minor part poplar in our cores. Ash is perfect for building high-performance snowboards as it dampens vibrations and holds its camber, extending the life of your board. Adding poplar keeps the weight down. Choosing a premium material also allowed us to reduce the use of petroleum-based composites. We use a thin layer of bamboo as the topsheet, which adds to performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe build our snowboards with classic camber and distinguish between standard camber and low camber: Cheater has standard camber with Tip-Tail-Rocker. The camber is elevated 11mm, with the contact points slightly moved toward the snowboard’s centre for easy turning. The board feels very secure, even when carving on icy slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cheater’s blunt nose is combined with Tip-Tail-Rocker and a Semi-Swallowtail. The result is a precise feeling of control at any speed. It’s a fresh take on how to mix on-piste edge hold with off-piste playfulness. With 40 mm of setback and the short Semi-Swallowtail it naturally sinks its tail to steer in powder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stranda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54911857000732,"sku":"Snowboard - SS048","price":969.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2063\/6700\/files\/5372156120.jpg?v=1783358346","url":"https:\/\/karakoram.com\/products\/stranda-snowboards-cheater-170-x-wide-26-27","provider":"Karakoram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
