What defines the Upgrade is directional C2X contour with short rocker between feet – offers a perfect balance between playful pop and stable control, ideal for freestyle and all-mountain versatility. It also runs directional triple serration Magne-Traction edges – deliver exceptional grip and precise carving control on icy and variable snow conditions. This listing is the 157cm Wide length.
Mervin specifies directional triple curve sidecut blend – balances smooth entry with aggressive tail control for powerful turns and reliable edge hold. It adds hybrid core profile with stiffened nose and softer tail – provides stability and float in soft snow while maintaining agility for carving and freestyle tricks. Board length is not cosmetic – at 157cm Wide this one is cut for a particular rider weight and boot size rather than sold as a single do-everything size.
Mervin Manufacturing builds Lib Tech and GNU boards in Sequim, Washington, and is one of the last snowboard makers that never moved production offshore. The factory runs a zero-hazardous-waste process the company has built its identity around.
