AMPLID 3000


Twenty years of RnD experience. 150 days of riding per year. A strategic location in the heart of the Alps. Suppliers who are dedicated Amplid Research Cartel members and help us grow our own technologies. Starting from superlight tip-to-tail wood cores to exotic custom made fiber weavings. A manufacturer who has been producing high end snowboards and skis for over 20 years and believes in our project. A complete fleet of Amplid developed and owned moulds. A team which tests and improves the product 24/7, exposing it to impact while ripping. For judges, for cameramen, for photographers, for themselves. And, again: 150 days of riding per year. This results in what we call "next level riding".




P15 Helio Woodcore

AMPLID P15 HELIO WOOD CORE


Let us have our little secrets when it gets to core technology. The right choice of wood, a little extra treatment, and here you go... If you don't trust us, well, then just lift one of our high end weapons to believe. Tip to tail. Obviously.



P15 Helio Woodcore

AMPLID P10 ULTRALIGHT WOOD CORE


The ideal mix of snappy livelyness with the nice dose of dampening - this is what poplar consists of. Durable along the edges, light along the centerline. Camber forever, snap forever, control forever. Tip to tail. What else.



P10 Ultralight Woodcore

AMPLID P5 BONKPROOF WOOD CORE


Light and bonkproof, this is what the P5 woodcore is all about. Light in swing weight and surviving A-frame desasters, kink landings and 3G wallrides at the same time. Solid poplar all the way, for solid landings all the time. Tip to tail. All the way.



P5 Woodcore

UD SUBBINDING GLASS MATRIX


An extra reinforcing glass layer in the binding area will make sure your bindings stay where they are meant to be. Its special unidirectional weaving will guarantee a harmonic, continuos flex curve while holding the bindingscrews safely. Even after a bigger drop...



Carbon Strato Biax

CARBON STRATO BIAX


This is how we make the lightest and snappiest snowboards and skis in our product range. The Carbon Strato Biax is used in combination with our Glassfiber Light Biax to maintain the necessary foregiveness in extreme riding situations.



Carbon Glass Noble Blend

CARBON GLASS NOBLE BLEND BIAX


Longitudinal glass fibers take care of enough elasticity (attention: "elastic" does NOT mean "soft" !!!) throughout the overall flex. The 90 carbon fibres support torsional rigidity which results in snappier, more aggressive riding.



Light Biax

GLASSFIBER LIGHT BIAX


Using glassfiber will always be the more foregiving way to build a board or a ski. We are using high durability biax glass for the perfect torsion-longitudinal flex ratio. This provides snowboards and skis with a character riders simply love.



Impact Biax

GLASSFIBER IMPACT BIAX


Landing on rails, bonking trucks or jibbing tourists: Riding nowadays calls for a new definition of "durability". Our Impact Biax Glass makes our toys more durable, without making’em more rigid or cutting out the snap you need for popping ollies.



Doomsday Camber

DOOMSDAY CAMBER


In order to improve longevity of the camber, we use pre-stretched fibers in our waivings. Even after 500 tail landings or 50.000 turns - flat planks after year I belong to the past. Camber forever!!!



Liquideck

LIQUIDECK


A topsheet in a bottle: The Amplid LiquiDeck is made out of an epoxy based juice, applied onto the upper laminate, replacing the conventional topsheet. Part of our secret recipe to get to a 2.5 kg featherlight snowboard.



Abuse Base

ABUSE BASE TECHNOLOGY


The metal grid coating behind the sintered Hyper Dense Base® III distributes and subsequently lowers the heat occuring from the grind impact. The cooler base material allows the elements to quickly return to their original state. Heat deformation is history.



Spin Tips

T.P.U. SPIN TIPS


In order to facilitate spinning we’ve cut out some weight by using superlight T.P.U. tip spacers in all our snowboards and skis. Try to pull off a 7er and you might be ending up sticking a 1200.



1x8 Insert Pattern

1X8 INSERT PATTERN


Skis with Inserts*: Mount your skibindings without drilling. Use one pair of binding on your park- or big mountain ski. Works exclusively with our amplid sliderplate for all our bindings.Note that all inserts skis feature also additional UD glass for traditional drilling. (*optional)



2x4 Insert Pattern

2X4 INSERT PATTERN


All our snowboards feature a 2x4 insert pattern for max micro adjustment of your personal riding stance. Fits all 4x4 standard snowboard bindings, but rides best with ours. 20 inserts on all boards except Paradigma UNW8 (16 for weight reduction)



Elliptic Nose Scoop

ELLIPTIC NOSE SCOOP LINE


In order to improve floatation in powder, we designed elliptical cavities for freerideboards to create our freeride nose scoop. Less flip over the nose, less fatigue, less submarine = more runs per day (sometimes quantity = quality!).



Bezier

FMC BEZIER SPLINE SIDECUT


FMC? For mathematical correctness. All our boardshapes are designed in a 3-D CAD program in the bezièr-mode, instead of using a simple radius. Because this is the arc YOU are pulling. The result is a physically correct board which definately rides better.



waistbox

AMPLID WAIST BOX


99% of all shark bites (=blown out edges after rock impact !) occur underneath the bindings. Perpendicular fibers help to reinforce the ABS-sidewall and the edge ancor to prevent destruction.



Slanted Sidewalls

22° SLANTED ABS SIDEWALLS


All our ABS sidewalls feature a 22° slanted grinding for maximum edge control and edge preparation. Physically this angle is also the best solution against shark bites and rail dings: 22° = less blown out edges !!! Got it !?



Magma Edge Absorber

MAGMA EDGE SHOCK ABSORBER


A thin Polyurethan rubber band between the steel edge and the ABS sidewall swallows shocks and vibration and stabilizes high speed rides and big air landings. More control, better riding.



360 Edge

360O WRAP AROUND STEEL EDGE


Instead of heavy tip protectors or old school anti-delams-rivets we wrap our extra hardened steel edges 360°around the snowboards and skis. This results into a more durable yet lightweight construction.



UV Coating

SUPER GLOSS UV COATING


Bling, blinger, Amplid.
A topsheet finish at its blingest. Our final UV top coating turns the surface into a mirror you can either shave your beard in or powder your nose, depending on your gender, of course.
Nice!



7200 sintered

SINTERED GE 7.2 SONICSPEED BASE/STONE FINISH


Our sintered GE 7.2 Lightspeed base is the fastest sole material the industry has to offer right now. GE? Gap everything! Or have you ever NOT cleared a road gap? Our stone grinders make sure the bases are finished as soft as a pent pals ass.



4400 extruded

EXTRUDED BA 4.4 DURASPEED BASE/STONE FINISH


The extruded "Bonk it All" BA 4.4 Duraspeed is a bit more durable when it gets to handrail abrasion and is the better solution for the wax-lazy shred head. But still fast enough to land in the flat after any kicker. Stonefinish. Obviously



4400 extruded

SHRED READY


All our snowboards and skis are running through the same shred ready post grinding process: polishing, waxing, polishing, manual removing of burrs along the edges. Get your planks on the snow and ride off ...
