Magne-Traction

Invented and developed by our good friends at Mervin Manufacturing, Magne-Traction has become the hottest visible technology to grace our sport since the highback. What is it? On a traditional snowboard, most of the pressure is pushed through the feet down and out to the widest part of the board at the contact points of the tip and tail with the least amount of pressure being applied between the feet. Magne-Traction maximizes the edge pressure between the feet so you can ride with more control and stability in the gnarliest conditions. What makes the Rossignol Magne-Traction boards different? It's important our Magne-Traction boards ride, look and feel different. We start with full wrap steel edge that surrounds one of the most durable constructions available. This construction rips through the chop and crud with ease. For all mtn and freestyle riding Rossignol uses a tighter sidecut radius which turns with ease but still can crank it up when you need too. Tight shapes finished off with tight graphic packages to fit a wide range of rippers. Does it help all snowboarders? Beginner to intermediate – any level of rider can feel Magne-Traction increase their control. It's like a full suspension Mtn Bike vs. one without. You can go faster, in more control and comfort, with Magne-Traction. Women – lighter riders benefit from the additional edge pressure and control. Freestyle – Riders who detune their edges for sliding rails and boxes love Magne-Traction because even when heavily detuned the Magne-Traction bumps still dig in and hold an edge. Half Pipe – Magne-Traction locks into the re-entry and maintains speed across the flats to increase your boost and hang time. More hang time equals more rotations – spin to win! Freeride – if you spend most of your time on edge, Magne-Traction boards are for you. Out-traverse your friends by pumping the Mag edge, taking the highest traverse line. Magne-Traction is for everyone.
