The TRAX has a long heritage and is one of the most popular twin tips on the market. It is the ultimate freeride and freestyle board with a unique feeling on the water, offering both speed and comfort. The HRD Rail plays a significant role in the way the board performs, and it sets it apart from everything else out there.
FULL DESCRIPTION
The exclusive Helical Rail Design (HRD) plays a significant role in this board’s exceptional performances. It is a unique process that allows for the rails of the board to be shaped in 3D. There are three sections to the rail as it runs the length of the board. In the middle of the board, the rail is thin for grip and improved upwind ability. Under the feet, the rail is inverted and curved like a surfboard rail, allowing the board to smoothly track through chop and improving its carving ability. As the rail reaches the tips, it thins out again, bringing superior grip and bite to give excellent pop.
On the water, the TRAX HRD LITE TECH offers a smooth, forgiving ride. The HRD rail eliminates spray and feels very comfortable regardless of the water conditions.
The flex has been tuned to provide the optimum pop off the water, and the extra flex in the tips really helps to launch you into the air. When it comes to landings, the wide outline and channeled base combine to smooth things out and allow you to always retain control.
The concave step design on the bottom, an association of a classic single concave with a full-length channel, gives the board its locked-in yet smooth ride, and allows you to go planing in an instant with strong upwind potential.
The Lite Tech is exclusive to F-ONE. Patented by Rossignol Snowboards, it integrates a TPU element into the board allowing light to pass right through. It features two narrow, transparent lines down the center of the board, which is an outstanding aesthetic feature and will certainly help you stand out from the crowd.
Combining efficiency, edge control and chop-friendly handling, the TRAX HRD LITE TECH is an excellent choice for beginners, experts, and everyone in between. From flat water to harsh chop, this board can handle it, and you’ll get a ride like no other with plenty of performance at your disposal.
The TRAX HRD LITE TECH is available in four sizes: 135×39 cm, 136×40.5 cm, 137×42 cm, and 140×45 cm. All come equipped with four UNIBOX 50mm fins, which offer better speed and improved glide thanks to their thinner profile.

HELICAL RAIL DESIGN
A true revolution, the Helical Rail Design (HRD) is a tripartite rail which delivers insane precision, advanced directional stability, surreal grip, and ultimate comfort, all unknown yet in the world of twin tips. The HRD Rail provides new performances and a true sensation of floating above the water. The 16mm thick rail also strongly increases the strength and stiffness of the structure and locks the twist of the board.
THIN RAIL
Towards the tip of the board, the rail returns to its original thin shape to ensure grip during take-off and pop.
16 MM THICK INVERTED RAIL
In the feet area, the rail profile is very thick and inverted which creates two supports zones that avoid the bouncing effect. It also generates an impressive vertical lift that offers early planing and sensational drive. Landing any jump or trick has never been so simple! Its sharpened top edge also reduces water spray towards the eyes and legs.
THIN & SHARP RAIL
On the central part, the rail is thin and sharp, allowing edging, jumping at any time, also delivering a huge grip and an outstanding pop.
LITE TECH
The LITE Tech (integrated TPU element), patented by Rossignol Snowboards, is a F-ONE exclusivity in the kiting world, bringing an incredible look and design to your board.
3D DECK STRUCTURE
Board flex is tuned through both materials and shape. The shape of the deck is especially engineered to make the board ultra-responsive between your legs for maximum drive and precision with the flex increasing progressively towards the tips for maximum pop and comfort.
TIP RECESS
It reduces the core's volume and weight, and adds extra flexibility towards the tip of the board. Combined with the other deck features, this makes the board stiff in the middle sections but with a nice flex towards the tips, making the drive very precise with a smooth riding feeling and extra pop for the jumps.
WOOD CORE
The wood forms the heart of your board and gives it most of its mechanical properties: strength, flex, and resilience (ability to return to its original shape). In optimizing the wood thickness distribution, we always seek the best compromise between strength, stiffness, and weight to ensure you get the best of your board and maximum comfort.
CONCAVE STEP DESIGN
The combination of a bottom concave and a channel, which tightens the central part, allows to go planning in an instant with strong upwind potential. The concave absorbs the chop and improves its grip on the water.
The channel enhances the flow of the water and relieves the pressure on the back foot, providing incomparable comfort.
UNIBOX FINS
The patented UNIBOX system and RESPONSE fins have a radical effect: the asymmetrical profile improves the general ride and early planning. However, it is the flex of the RESPONSE fins that gives amazing rail-grip as well as pop and forgiveness on heavy freestyle landings.
