GNU B-Nice Snowboard Review
The GNU B-Nice Snowboard is a true twin women’s freestyle snowboard that is easy to ride and versatile. A true twin snowboard has equal length and width from the center of the board to both tip and tail.
It also has a centered radial sidecut. This allows the B-Nice to ride equally well in both directions and is great for a rider looking for a board that excels in freeride, freestyle, powder, park and pipe.
Banana Rocker Profile
The GNU B-Nice uses a Banana Rocker profile and Magne-Traction on the edges, this combo works like magic on any slope, and the flex makes it stable yet playful. The Banana profile makes the board catch-free for freestyle runs, but also floats effortlessly in powder.
Magne-Traction edges allow the rider to effortlessly link turns at high speeds or at slower more casual paces too.
More About Banana Rocker, with Rocker between your feet combined and as well as Flat and mile Camber, the B-Nice makes turning easy and epic float in powder.
Magne-Traction gives the B-Nice sharp serrated edges that are known for great edge hold all over the mountain, but excel on hardpack and ice. Firm Edge hold when you really need it.
Overall Impression
The B-Nice is great for beginners but is playful and fun for riders with more experience. This board was fun playful and light, it was my favorite board I rode during the SIA On-Snow Event at Copper Mountain.
I could easily ride this board every day with a smile on my face!
Another cool thing about the B-Nice is it is handmade in America, in fact, all GNU Snowboards are made in the United States, near Canada! The GNU B-Nice ($459.99) is one of the best deals around on a ripping all-mountain snowboard from GNU.
