Description
Nobile introduces the IFS Pro (Integrated
Footbed System) increasing both comfort and functionality
for the
rider.
The Nobile IFS Pro foot bed is the world’s first
triple-density, moulded pad. With each layer becoming progressively
harder, the shock absorbing qualities of the pad “ramp
up” through it’s depth, preventing any possibility
of your foot hitting the board, whilst still delivering
a firm surface that gives a direct feeling of the board
when riding.
Comfort without function isn't enough however, especially
if your foot slips out on the first landing. The
ergonomically formed IFS PRO features an in-board cant
leading from
the heel down to the toe, ensuring that upon impact,
your foot moves more securely into the strap, and not
dangerously out of it.
On the front edge, multi-ridged
toe strip helps with grip, whatever your foot size,
and the moulded Polyurethane texture under the
heels provides traction in all conditions.
Inside the footstrap, a new hot press
formed, EVA pad ensures exact shaping specifications
are met
in every unit. Integrated inserts inside the foot bed
means that there is no exposed webbing or hard materials
to rub
on your foot – what ever size
it’s set to.
Vertical adjustment on the
strap is retained from the original IFS system
to ensure the perfect fit for all feet however, adjustment
is now taken care of with a new non-stretch,
buckle fixing system, which allows micro adjustment
with vastly increased ease of use over a
Velcro based system.
Select your stance and screw them in, no other assembly is
necessary even the screws come ready set in the pad.
Gone is the difficult and time consuming task of trying to
compress the pad to fit the screws as is the risk of crossing
threads and ruining the board before you even get to ride
it!
Building the pad and strap together into one unit has also
allowed Nobile to completely eliminate twist at the fixation
point; a major source of discomfort when riding.
Conventional straps are hinged on one side for adjustment.
The geometry of the strap fits the average size foot well
but bigger and smaller feet are left to suffer.
Adjusting the size to it’s extremes
- forces the form fitted sections into the wrong position
in relation to your foot.
The vertical adjustment in the Nobile IFS Pro (Integrated
Footbed System) ensures that the strap fits into the
correct position no matter
what the size and shape of your foot without having to resort
to using a screw driver.
Construction:
There is a lot to the footbed
and strap that misses the eye on first glance. The visual
aspect is always important but
its the technology behind what you see is ultimately far
more important and that has had a huge amount of work.
3D CNC Mould:
The IFS is made in a specific 3D CNC'd mould,
shaped to your foot as opposed to a flat block of foam
that is shaped
by sanding. This construction allows very precise control
and cost effective detailed moulding of the core materials.
4 Density Cores:
Shape compression areas, to ensure you always
have reserve compression for extremely high impacts on
already heavy loadings,
saving both board and joint damage.
Supports distribution loadings, to make sure
the harder you push the more locked in your feet stay.
When the
pad is loaded if pushes your foot further into the strap
and pad to make sure you stay locked in.
Allows soft skin compression, which makes
you foot nestle into position keeping the board on your
feet during zero
loading (ie jumping).
Heat Formed Polyurethane Molding:
The Nobile IFS Pro Pad also uses a new
technology of footstrap. The IFS pro strap core is a heat
formed polyurethane
molding
much like
a trainer base, but with far less density. Normal straps
are made with solid flat material, shaped in plan shape but
not in thickness or form.
If you look closely at the Nobile IFS
Pro strap you will see the internal construction It's
very advanced offering new technology in support, comfort
and security.
Now both upper and lower sections of the IFS base are
specifically molded to wedge your foot in place.
Finally, the Nobile IFS PRO has been built
with the environment in mind, shown in its adhesive free
construction and 100% recyclable packaging.
The Nobile IFS Pro guarantees that every ride
is a pleasure with unparalleled levels of comfort and function.
