Prior’s Khyber Splitboard – A Directional Powder Splitboard
The Khyber Split has been the long running ride of choice amongst the local Whistler community on those deep, coastal days! Its drastic tail taper allows this directional shape to truly excel in the deepest of conditions; with 25mm of taper in the tail, the back end sinks to relieve back end pressure and leg burn. Combined with a large shovel nose, the Khyber Split creates ample float and provides a really surf inspired ride. The Khyber Split features our Hybrid Rocker Design; rocker in the nose and tail provide added floatation while maintaining traditional camber underfoot for stability and rebound. Its name is derived from the infamous Khyber trees that face our Whistler Facility; the Khyber is guaranteed to produce face-shots!
XTC Carbon Construction is available as an upgrade to all Prior splitboards and saves an average of 500 grams (1lb 1oz) off a Prior splitboard pressed with our standard quadraxial fiberglass.
