Expert reviews 1
Amplid's Milligram and Metamorph share cutting-edge material technology — a full carbon jacket, a BBP2 core and a Snowphobic topsheet — and set a new standard for backcountry splitboarding. The Milligram is an all-rounder that handles varied backcountry terrain lightly and nimbly; the Metamorph is an expert board that delivers precision and stability in extreme alpine conditions. Both target advanced splitboarders, and their core strength is maximising uphill efficiency and downhill performance at the same time.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid construction optimised for backcountry and alpine settings, securing light weight while maintaining responsiveness and energy through a carbon full-jacket construction and a BBP2 core. The exact camber type isn't stated in the source, so this is inferred.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A full carbon jacket construction with a BBP2 core realises a hard yet energetic flex. Carbon's high tensile strength achieves the same flex profile with thinner laminates, while the BBP core suppresses excessive reactivity for a balanced high-stiffness flex. The exact figure isn't stated in the source, so this is an inferred value.
Where it shines
Who it suits
The Milligram is designed for experienced splitboarders handling varied backcountry terrain, the Metamorph for advanced riders handling tight couloirs and extreme alpine conditions. Both are dedicated high-performance backcountry boards, unsuited to beginners or intermediates.
Good
- ✓A full carbon jacket, BBP2 core and nanofilm deliver industry-leading low weight, maximising uphill efficiency
- ✓A 3D nose design with a sparrow tail (Milligram) or a short, wide nose (Metamorph) delivers high float and a surfy feel in deep powder
- ✓Snowphobic Stratospheric topsheet technology stops snow sticking during skin-ups while keeping the weight low
- ✓A centred 7HD base provides outstanding glide even in difficult snow
- ✓Delay-up reinforcement in the binding area addresses demand for hardboot setups
Not so good
- —The premium materials (full carbon, BBP2 core) put it in a high price bracket
- —Designed purely for backcountry and alpine use, so it isn't suited to park or regular slope riding
- —The Metamorph's short, stubby nose may limit versatility outside specific situations
