- Banana Technology (BTX): Mervin’s revolutionary original all-terrain freestyle banana blend. Rocker between your feet blended with flat-to-mild camber to contact points. Focuses pressure between your feet for easy turns, great edge hold on ice, and a mild amount of pressure to the tip and tail for unreal float and catch-free freestyle.

Every Gnu is handmade by snowboarders with jobs in the USA. Gnus are built with tough and fast UHMW external sidewalls and impact resistant end grain internal sidewalls.

Banana Tech, EC2, or C2 BTX Camber/Banana Tech combo and Magne-Traction serrated edges are far from standard but are standard on every Gnu snowboard.
