Ride Moderator Snowboard 2027 - Men's

Camber Profile

• Extra Camber: A higher-rise camber profile delivers a snappy, lively, and responsive feel, with enough rise in the nose to provide float in deeper snow.

Flex

• Medium Response: A versatile medium flex balances smooth turning, pop, and response for all-mountain riding.

Shape

• Directional: More nose than tail, a setback stance, and a directional sidecut create a ride designed primarily for forward-facing all-mountain and powder performance.
• Tapered Directional Profile: Combines a directional shape with Extra Camber and nose rise for smooth turns, response, and float in deeper snow.

Sidecut

• Linear Quadratic: Quadratic curvature runs from the tip to the rear insert pack before transitioning into a linear section through the tail, creating smooth, catch-free turn initiation and powerful support through the turn exit without sacrificing grip.

Core

• Performance™ Light Core: Lightweight Paulownia wood stringers combine with high-strength Aspen for lightweight performance and response.

Laminates

• Carbon Array™ 3: Carbon stringers positioned around the binding zones gather rider input from different stance widths and pressure angles and channel that energy toward the opposing contact point for increased board control.
• Hybrid Glass: Triaxial fiberglass above the core and biaxial fiberglass below balance torsional flex and stiffness for improved response at speed.
• Pre-Cured Glass: USA-made pre-cured fiberglass optimizes the glass-to-resin ratio for a consistent flex pattern, stability, and control.
• Single Impact Plates: Reinforcement beneath each binding area increases compressive strength and helps protect against board breaks in high-stress areas.

Sidewalls

• Slim Walls: A fully 3D composite structure over Slimewall® material improves energy transfer while reducing weight and increasing damping.

Base

• Sintered 4000 Base: High-end sintered 4000 P-Tex provides a harder, faster, and more durable running surface than an extruded base.
• Stone Ground: A stone-ground finish creates a flat, clean running surface.

Additional Features

• Standard Topsheet: Durable urethane topsheet material.
• Biobased Resin: Plant-based resin reduces reliance on traditional epoxy and helps lower carbon emissions during production.
• Wend® Meadowfoam Biodegradable Wax: Factory-applied wax made from Meadowfoam® wildflower seeds is non-toxic and biodegradable.
• 30% Recycled Steel Edges: Snowboard edges contain 30% recycled steel.
• FSC® Certified Paper Packaging: Paper packaging materials use FSC® Certified materials.
• 44% Solar Production Energy: RIDE states that 44% of the energy used in production comes from solar energy.

Binding Compatibility

• 2x4 Inserts: Standard 2x4 insert pattern for broad snowboard binding compatibility.

Size Chart

Weight ranges are general recommendations — riders slightly above or below can still ride comfortably based on style and preference.
