Bought this board for my girlfriend from a guy who won the board in a contest and only put 10 days on it. My girlfriend used it for 2 days and decided to go back to her Nitro Black Widow. The board is in good shape with some bindings marks and a couple a light scratches from lift lines.
here is a bit of info on the board,
HEAD Intelligence is the first snowboard that constantly adapts to conditions and the speed you're riding.
High-end helicopters use Intelligence Technology to get more power out of their rotor blades.
Originally, Intelligence Technology was developed to reduce vibrations and increase the thrust of helicopter rotor blades. Today we employ it in snowboards - for exactly the same reasons: To put more thrust in your edge.
Intellifibers™ in front of your bindings generate energy from the board's vibrations and transfer it to a microchip in the middle of the board. The chip amplifies these impulses seven times and sends them back to the Intellifibers™, stiffening them up.
At lower speeds, under little pressure, the board reacts neutrally. At high speeds and under high pressure the Intellifibers™ stiffen up, putting extra thrust into the board.
> keeping your edge in the turn.
> making the board more stable flat out.
All this happens within 0.005 seconds (electrical impulses travel at the speed of light), meaning the board acts faster than you can think.
Intellifiber™ vs. Chip
While i.CT indicates the use of Intelligence Chip Technology, the Intellifiber™ technology (i.CON, FORCE i, Damage Wide, Defiance i., Fountain i.) takes advantage of the self-regulatory properties of the Intellifibers™ without integrating a chip.
Here, the electric energy created by the Intellifibers™ is captured in a closed circuit and sent through a resistor where disruptive frequencies are filtered out. The remaining energy is fired back to the Intellifiber™ Packs which straighten instantly, also increasing the torsional stability of the board.
