The Spearhead is the next evolution of big mountain boards with the most versatile powder performance of the Prior lineup. Big alpine bowls to tight treed sections the Spearhead - aptly named after the Spearhead Range in our backyard - handles it all...and rips in the hard pack too (both directions).
If you crave powder and want the latest all-mountain freeride board to stir your mojo, jump on a Spearhead.
Riders
The Spearhead is designed for powder hounds who want to maximize their overall powder experience without compromising all-mountain performance.
Ride
The Spearhead planes up on powder with ease and has moderate taper for an easy turning ride in any conditions. Smooth, stable, responsive and predictable.
Conditions
The Prior Spearhead performs well in terrain ranging from powder, ice, crud, and crust.
Design
Shape: The Spearhead's moderate taper and defined, gradually up-sloping tip only looks old-school; its design improves trim, floatation and drive compared with standard boards. In addition, it negates front edge grab allowing for effortless edge-to-edge transition which translates into a more predictable, responsive ride in all snow conditions.
Radius: Moderately long for performance powder riding and fall line speed.
Flex: Stable under the riders feet for power and stability; the profile gradually decreases off the underfoot platform towards the tip providing forgiveness and float in the powder without sacrificing performance. The underfoot platform remains for a few cm past the rear inserts, then tapers quickly into small, soft tail section - this creates added pop, power and edgehold stability.
Strength: Bombproof. All Prior boards are built to last.
