The roots of FANATIC
Founded in 1987, FANATIC is a German brand that has been exploring innovative board designs and material development since the early days of snowboarding. Armed with vast amounts of development data and original ideas, they"amazing lightness," "fast response," "comfort," and "environmentally friendly." At the heart of the brand is the philosophy of "Making snowboarding easy!"
To that end, we have approached research and development without fear of any challenge, believing in the potential of even the smallest ideas and not letting them go to waste
FANATIC's greatest strengths in manufacturing lie in its exceptional lightweight technology and unique core structure. It's not just light; it accurately captures feedback from the snow surface, directly transmitting the rider's intentions to the board. Combining traditional honeycomb technology with advanced materials, FANATIC's long-standing design philosophy is to seamlessly integrate these seemingly contradictory elements at a high level
This DNA is strongly reflected in the 26-27 lineup as well. The adoption of the new material "Carbon Weave" has resulted in further weight reduction and enhanced responsiveness. This relentless pursuit of technology is directly linked to the overwhelming maneuverability and nimble ride that the boards currently offer. The boards, created at the intersection of accumulated technical expertise and the passion of those on the ground, continue to push the limits of snowboarders

FANATIC has poured its latest technology into these three models, each with its own distinct personality. What are the concepts and riding characteristics of each?
The ultimate in versatility: "KAISER"
The KAISER is a core, high-end, all-around model in FANATIC's lineup. If you're unsure which board to choose, the KAISER is often the first one that comes to mind. It's not just an "easy-to-handle board" for beginners. It boasts an overwhelming level of perfection, pushing the "freedom to do anything" that intermediate and advanced riders desire to the extreme
The moment you start sliding, you'll notice its exceptional balance. Turns are incredibly smooth, and when you press down on the board, the powerful rebound guides the rider into the next action. The lightness and responsiveness created by the new Carbon Weave material make it effective in all situations, from high-speed freeriding to the park and terrain play. Its core strength ensures it won't lose control even on rough slopes, providing immense confidence even at high speeds

Furthermore, its high level of maneuverability stands out when approaching parks and terrain. When performing jumps, ollies, and intricate tricks, the lightweight swing weight and reliable rebound accurately trace the rider's intentions. Rather than specializing in one area, all aspects of its performance are at the highest level. For snowboarders who want to tackle all kinds of terrain on the mountain and attack aggressively, this is the perfect partner
The "AUTOBAHN" is a carving machine that dominates speed and straight-line stability
As the name suggests, this carving-focused model pursues speed and straight-line stability to the extreme. It's an uncompromising design for riders who demand absolute stability at high speeds and deep edge grip
Its most distinctive feature lies in its exquisitely balanced mid-wide design. This design minimizes drag to the absolute minimum. It provides a secure grip on the snow surface, even for riders with larger boot sizes or those who employ an aggressive carving style with deep edge engagement. The board remains stable even when tackling rough slopes at high speeds, and its exceptional rigidity allows you to confidently push forward—it's truly impressive

However, the AUTOBAHN is not just a stiff, fast straight-line machine. Its internal structure provides flexibility, making turn initiation natural and responding smoothly to the rider's movements. Rather than forcibly turning the board, it draws beautifully sharp lines with smooth weight transfer. Aggressive speed performance and a high-quality ride feel. These two are perfectly balanced. If you want to push the limits of carving and pursue the pure joy of turning, this is the model you should choose
The FTC: Unlimited adaptability to fully enjoy the entire snowy mountain range
A directional freeride all-around model designed to let you fully enjoy the entire snowy mountain. It boasts an incredible range of capabilities, covering every conceivable condition, from powder and groomed slopes to carving and even tricks that take advantage of the terrain
The essence of FTC lies in the fact that its versatility never results in a boring ride. While maintaining ease of handling, it still retains the joy of the rider actively maneuvering the board and conquering the terrain. Abundant buoyancy in powder, reliable edge grip on groomed slopes, and maneuverability that allows for free and easy line selection—these elements harmonize in exquisite balance, keeping the core of your skiing steady. It's not bound to any particular genre, but flexibly adapts to the ever-changing slope conditions throughout the day

FTC
Sizes: 147, 153, 157, 160
¥88,000
Thanks to Carbon Weave technology, the lightweight yet highly responsive body greatly expands the possibilities of freeriding. From gliding along to creative riding adapted to the terrain, there's no more reliable board for riders who want to express their own style while handling a variety of conditions
