GNU Banked Country Split vs GNU Hyper

How they compare

the GNU Banked Country Split leans more freeride, while the GNU Hyper leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature rocker profiles — lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel. The GNU Banked Country Split is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
