Snowboard Design Review: C2 BTX
Sept 14, 2010
Location: Lake Tahoe, NV

This Blog’s purpose is to explain the features advantages and benefit of the “C2 BTX” design found in many of the boards that Mervin manufacturing makes. C2 technology is banana rocker between the bindings and camber from the inserts to the contact points. This means 2 cambers, one per-foot. C2 BTX designs are easy to initiate into each turn with quick edge to edge response. Both short and long radius turns on the C2 BTX Designs let you power through each turn. The double camber gives you energy while in your turn, Camber engages the snow and gives back a more lively turn. The feature allows the rider to maintain the line he sets his board to do. The advantage is stability at high speeds. The benefit is that you have a single board that can do-it all board for the mountain.

Here are the 2011 Mervin boards that use “C2 BTX” Technology

This year the Parkstar flexes a little more muscle, emerging as a fun, press-ready ride with screaming base swaps, a chaos topsheet and the forgiving JIB ROCKER feel that made it famous. Unmatched maneuverability and something loosely defined as `buttery goodness’ back the Parkstar’s game.
