Burton positions it as the all-round backcountry choice in the Family Tree line: a splitboard for mixed conditions, from tight terrain to soft-snow float, that you can skin up and ride down with confidence. This one comes in Black\/White.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirectional camber puts camber under both feet for stability in variable snow, with a rockered nose for float when it's deep. The Freeride Directional shape centres your stance on the sidecut, so it feels like a twin on a flat base and turns tight and quick like a directional board on edge. A skin-ready tail connects to Burton split skins, and the Split Channel mounting system with pre-mounted Channel-compatible pucks makes transitions between uphill and downhill easier. Inside, a Super Fly II 700G Splitboard Core, 45° Carbon Highlights and a Sintered WFO base keep it light, lively and fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e experienced riders heading into the backcountry who want one splitboard that handles everything from tight trees to open powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ Directional camber: camber under both feet with a rockered nose for stability and soft-snow float\u003cbr\u003e✅ Freeride Directional shape with Balanced Freeride Geometry for a twin feel on flat base and quick directional turns on edge\u003cbr\u003e✅ 12mm taper for easier float and turn initiation\u003cbr\u003e✅ Directional flex: more tail pop with a more resilient nose\u003cbr\u003e✅ Skin-ready tail that connects to Burton split skins\u003cbr\u003e✅ Split Channel mounting system with pre-installed Channel-compatible pucks\u003cbr\u003e✅ Super Fly II 700G Splitboard Core for pop and strength with less weight\u003cbr\u003e✅ 45° Carbon Highlights to cut weight and fine-tune torsional flex\u003cbr\u003e✅ Sintered WFO base, Pro-Tip and Infinite Ride\u003cbr\u003e✅ FSC-certified materials and a 3-year Burton warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Australian Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAustralian touring is often about short, sharp missions: skinning out from Thredbo or Perisher into the Main Range, or heading off Feathertop and the Bogong High Plains when conditions line up. Snow can swing from wind-pressed and firm to soft corn in a single day, so camber underfoot for edge hold on firm faces and a rockered nose for float in the soft stuff is exactly the mix you want. Take it further afield to Japan, New Zealand or Canada and the 12mm taper and directional shape come into their own in deeper snow. Always check avalanche and weather conditions and carry the right safety gear before heading out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot for you if:\u003c\/strong\u003e you only ride resort runs, or you're not yet comfortable on a directional camber board.
