Rent this board with either F2 Titanium Race Intec bindings, SG performance race bindings or Virus Powerlock IV Intec bindings and high performance UPZ hard shell boots.  This snowboard is absolutely not available for snowboard school.  It is an excellent demo to combine with the Virus Isolator plate system.  The Virus Isolator plate smooths the ride, distributes binding force along a longer length of edge and makes this live wire of a board even better.  This snowboard has matched sidecuts for left foot or right foot forward riders.   This is a much stiffer board than most and at 18.5 cm wide at the waist, is best for high angles (60 degrees for front and back foot, dependent upon boot sole length). The VIRUS Hypercarbon World Cup Race Lab 176 cm is the perfect tool for hard and fast GS carving and racing. All boards are the latest evolution in World Cup racing. Born and proven at World Cup races, now available for everybody! These boards give you maximum support in every snow condition. They are fast, very agile and with their elliptical sidecut, easy to maneuver from tight to wide turns.  The Carbon version is the actual model used in EC and World Cup racing all over the world but creates a lot of fun even for free carving! Virus totally reengineered the construction and is phasing out the slow acting titanal construction board era. The titanal boards are overdamped and have little acceleration in flat areas and out of the turns. Get faster by seconds and have more fun while carving! Why choosing a VIRUS competition board for racing and not one of the competitors? VIRUS is building the fastest race and competition boards for more than 30 years and has won many World Cup and European cup titles, including the last Olympics by 6/10th of second. The reason they are not very commonly seen is because Virus doesn't do any sponsoring and doesn´t give away their handcrafted boards for free. Length:  176 cm.  Effective edge:  163 cm.  Waist:  18.5 cm.  Sidecut radius:  specific for giant slalom.
