25/26 season review
A high-performance all-mountain board that keeps the existing Gremlin's silhouette while fully upgrading its materials and construction with a G3 core, carbon X layer, vertical carbon strips, bio resin and a race base. It's light with strong pop, and bio resin's excellent damping allows a fluid ride with no twitchiness, delivering ATV-grade versatility from powder to carving, park and banked slalom.
It was named MVP on the demo tour, and it's expected to become a flagship in GNU's line-up.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Directional camber
A directional camber board built on a traditional camber profile with slight taper and Magnetraction (a five-bump micro-mag profile). A deep sidecut delivers powerful edging performance.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Carbon X (big tip-to-tail carbon), vertical carbon strips and a G3 core (aspen-paulownia-hemlock blend) give it high pop and crisp response, while bio resin keeps it from feeling twitchy, maintaining a fluid, smooth turn feel — a medium-hard flex.

Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
Carbon reinforcement gives high pop and responsiveness, and camber-based precise edging is required, so it suits intermediates and up. Bio resin gives excellent damping so it stays stable at speed, letting experienced riders extract maximum performance across varied terrain.
What the review liked
- ✓Carbon-reinforced construction (big carbon X plus vertical carbon strips) makes it lighter with greatly improved pop over the standard Gremlin
- ✓Bio resin provides excellent high-frequency vibration absorption for smooth, fluid riding with no twitchiness
- ✓A deep sidecut and narrow waist (1 cm narrower than the standard Gremlin) deliver powerful railing and carving performance
- ✓A race base with mild structure grinding improves base glide performance
- ✓ATV-grade all-round usefulness across powder, tight trees, park and banked slalom
What the review found lacking
- —Only three sizes (155, 158, 161) are offered, limiting size choice
- —As a camber-based board there may be a barrier for beginners, and powder float may be somewhat lacking compared with rocker boards
