65A Durometer Outsole - The Outsole is a dampening interface made from a special TPE Rubber. The Outsole integrates with the System X design, and sits between the binding and a rider’s snowboard. The Outsole diffuses high–frequency chatter while providing rebound and cushion for high–impact landings. On the Hemlock, we use a softer durometer TPE for a more relaxed ride. On the Cypress, we use a slightly stiffer durometer TPE for added performance.
