Flex:
Feel-O-Meter: 3 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff): This is a soft and forgiving all-mountain flex, great for beginners or anyone looking for a smooth and stable Ride. Ride's Feel-O-Meter rating is adjusted year to year to align with current industry standards. A board unchanged from last year may receive a new feel number this year if the industry scale shifts.
Shape:
Directional Twin: A combination of twin and directional snowboards, directional twins feature a similar size tip and tail but the tip is more flexible than the tail.
Right Sized: This unique Right Sized shape opens up a world of board size opportunity to a broader range of women riders. This exclusive board profile allows ladies to ride a longer women's model with more float, perfect for big mountain charging and pow, or ride shorter without the toe drag if that better suits your style. Ultimately it gives you the freedom to ride what size is right for you regardless of your boot size.
LSD Shaping (Ladies Specific Design): Ride's Total Shaping approach has unveiled ways of crafting more customized, shapely women's products. LSD designed boards feature a custom waist width and unique flex pattern designed specifically for the female rider. LSD Shaping results in a ladies-specific sidecut built into Ride's finely tuned board profile that works as one dialed package.
Core:
Performance Tuned™ Core: High strength Aspen is combined with bamboo and other lightweight woods to provide the perfect balance of strength and light weight. Ride blends the proven strength of pop and feel of specific woods with added dampening materials and composites by mixing natural wood with high-energy "uppers" and vibration absorbing "downers" to create a core tuned for maximum snap and feel.
Laminates:
Carbon Array 3™ Laminate: This power distribution technology provides total board control in every stance location. Widespread carbon stringers placed at the binding zone gather input from any stance width and pressure angles. Rider input is then channeled to the opposing contact point for maximum board control.
Linear Carbon: Carbon is used to increase pop and liveliness with added benefit of strength. Linear Carbon adds more snap for ollie power.
Hybrid Glass: Triaxial fiberglass on top and biaxial on the base results in balanced torsion and stiffness for better response at speed. Ride's unique glass designs are flatter, more consistent and therefore stronger, without the gaps or stretching of woven glass.
Base:
Fusion 1500™ Base: The industry standard, it's wax absorbing and easy to repair. Ride invented and owns the Fusion Base™ Technology, in which material is formed together for a solid, fast Ride every time.
