Public Research (2024) - Description

Finally: a freeride snowboard from Public

The Public Research is brand new to the line and designed for freeride without losing sight of Public’s freestyle core. The directional shape with taper lets you float effortlessly over powder, while the sophisticated technologies provide snap and pop. The lightweight poplar core and a sintered base round off the Research and make it ready to conquer the expanses of the backcountry with you.

Riding Style

The research is geared towards freeriding with a touch of freestyle. The directional shape with taper lifts the nose, which lets you float effortlessly over powder. It’s also aligned with carbon stringers that any rider looking for a slightly more aggressive ride will love.

Shape

The directional shape ensures uplift for trips out into the powder, offers stability and control and guarantees pop. The taper means the nose is wider than the tail and promotes smooth turn entry and exit, stability at speed and enhanced deep snow uplift. The larger volume in the front area allows you to make effortless turns in deep and soft snow and increases the float enormously.

Profile

The rocker zones on the nose and tail give this board a playful and forgiving feel, while the camber between the bindings provides edge control and agility.

Flex

The medium flex is ideal for the freeride design of this board. Hard enough for powerful turns but still soft enough for a playful ride

Construction

The lightweight poplar core is reliable and predictable, while carbon stringers provide incredible pop and snap. Urethane sidewalls reliably dampen impacts and vibrations. The sintered base is fast and stays that way if you take good care of it.

What are my warranty conditions?

We offer you a 12-month statutory warranty. This covers all defects, i.e. everything that is considered poor workmanship of the product and was not caused by your own actions.

Which environmental protection projects do we invest in?

We have planted over 6.6 million trees since our foundin, and we are very proud! We realised that planting trees alone does not tackle all of the environmental issues we a passionate about, however. That's why we now also support projects that
- restore landscapes — ecosystems are repaired and jobs are created, including tree planting along the way
- remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it permanently
- recycle electronic waste and reuse materials
