Description
The NEON won the ''Top of the Pop'' award for the first time in 2022. What a source of pride. We worked hard to get here. Best splitboard in its category by SNOW SURF The new NEON has gained 500 grams without losing any of the horsepower it had under the hood, we found the right balance.
For lovers of beautiful curves & carved boards, the NEON will allow some to discover new sensations, for others a desire to always float more in the powder & explore. The bigger the board, the more glide you get, but the bigger it is, the heavier it is, which is not at all the case with the NEON. Its lightness will allow you to make beautiful conversions without difficulty & dare to go for peaks never reached until now. Its size is absolutely not a brake, on the contrary.
The nose & tail host holes to let our new custom skins slip in, which will further save weight because this technology offers the lightest. High performance & minimalist clips & hooks to make sure the whole thing stays optimal for years. Our experience in splitboarding allows us to always offer the best on the market & always made in Europe. Its high performance sole is almost completely black and allows a fast glide because there are few cuts. If you hit a rock it will be easy to repair a black sole with P-tex.

What is meant by flex?
It's the way a board tends to flex. At Stone we rate it from 0 to 10. The stiffer a board is the more it is destined to send & less forgiving. On the other hand, the softer a board is, the less reactive it will be in relaunching but will forgive you some mistakes. The softer a board is at the beginning, the more it will become a real uncooked sausage during the sessions. At Stone we consider that riding a board that is a bit stiff at the beginning is really optimal. Why? The core of a board is always built up over the days, weeks, months that you ride it. At Stone, a Flex 7 is considered a good alternative to go anywhere. We will then gravitate between the 6 & the 8 to lean more or less towards a particular desire as for the flex.
Flex 8: Attributed to freeride snowboards to have a strong boost & a gripping grip. Sometimes, the stiffer it is, the less forgiving it can be, you need to be solid on your legs. In splitboard, this flex is also for the amateurs of boards which do not move in the axis or in conversions. The flex is always made to the rider.
The STONY Skins can only be installed on Stone splitboards. No other brand of skins will fit as well as these on your stone splitboard.
Premium Mixmohair is suitable for all types of terrain and all types of snow. It offers longevity and perfect grip, even for multiple ascents. The new KOHLA Fiberseal Technology makes it possible to obtain a thin, very robust and completely waterproof skin which, thanks to its small size, adapts to all hiking backpacks.
Maximum flexibility is also ensured by the "Smart Glue", a newly developed state-of-the-art adhesive that guarantees easy handling and easy removal of skins, even when putting them on and taking them off repeatedly. The main advantage of the new Fiber Seal construction is a 3-layer water resistant system with no cotton-polyester layer on the bottom.
Overall, the skins are: cut to measure in length & width, mohair mix 65% 35% nylon, smart glue technology (Smart Glue) and regluable, The skins are made in Austria.
