Description
2026 RIDE Manic Snowboard
The RIDE Manic is engineered for riders seeking a versatile board that excels across the entire mountain. Its Directional Standard Camber profile offers camber between the bindings for snap and control, complemented by rocker at the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation and performance. The Quadratic Sidecut enhances turn initiation and exit, providing excellent grip and control. The Foundation™ Core, constructed from Aspen wood, delivers proven durability while retaining pop and flex.
