"Route SL comes with all the same qualities as the Route but with upgraded construction. The Route SL board has a response plus honeycomb core with poplar, paulownia, and honeycomb in targeted areas for weight reduction. Add carbon reply laminate and additional precured impact plates for increased strength through the binding and tour hardware zones. The oversized shovel nose and tapered inverted tail tackles powder to hardpack. Finished with a high end sintered base for setting the pace and speeding down the face. For a powder board quiver killer with the best of the best construction look no further than the Carbon Route SL."
