Overview

The Upgrade C2X is a freestyle/all-mountain directional twin hybrid board, representing Mervin action hero craftsman Jeff "Hendo" Henderson's 30-year anniversary project. This high-tech resort freestyle stick, the result of five years of prototyping and refinement, blends and harmonizes every possible geometry variable into a true "one board to rule them all." It features a powerful directional C2X contour, directional triple serration Magne-Traction for focused control, a directional triple curve on-demand sidecut blend, and a directional core profile with a stiffened nose for soft snow power and a softer tail for control, carving, and float. With a ¾ stance setback for hardpack freestyle balance and powder float, micro-rolled nose contact for catch-free freestyle, and an easy-entry radial to floaty flat tip with a tighter radius directional tail curve, it's packed with a carbon pop enhancement fiber package. Hendo's brain did the work, so you don't have to; upgrade your shred game with this poppy, easy rider that proves more is more.
