Snowboards comparison — 2021-2022 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the GNU Essential Service leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The GNU Antigravity has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the GNU Essential Service uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The GNU Essential Service is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
