Rocker Type
Hybrid All Mountain - Features rocker in the nose and a level micro-camber zone extending under the feet through the tail. Built for hard-charging riders that demand superior grip, stability, and responsive performance.
Flex
Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) - 9, designed for hard-chargers who want to tear up the whole mountain, the Ride Highlife UL Snowboard combines precise carving capability with effortless float in powder
Core
Silencer™ 5 - Purifies the response from the Pop Glass, Carbon Arrays and Linear reinforcements by filtering out vibration for a super smoothed-out, snappy core. Offered in two levels of technology: 5 & 7. Ride blends the proven strength, pop and feel of wood with added dampening materials and composites. Mixing natural wood with high-energy "uppers" and vibration absorbing "downers" creates a core tuned for maximum snap and feel.
Ultra Light Core - Built to smooth the ride and lighten the load
Laminates
Pop Glass - 90° Carbon fibers stitched into the glass for extra pop, without adding extra stiffness. Ride takes stitched glass to new levels and tailors it to each boards needs. The unique glass designs are flatter and more consistent; therefore they are stronger with no gaps or stretching as can be found in woven glass.
Sidewalls
NEW Pop Walls™ - This totally unique sidewall combines layers of Slimewall® and carbon strategically placed at the inserts out to the contact points in the tip and tail on a twin, and the back inserts to the contact points in the tail on a directional board. The new and exclusive tech enhances the charging riders' experience as we have moved the carbon pop construction to the outside edge for better stability and enhanced response.
Base
Ultra Light Base - One of the lightest and fastest sintered bases around.
Edges
Ultra Light Steel - Offers an ultra-light and durable edge
Topsheet
Membrain® - Weighing less than half of traditional plastic top sheets, Membrain® maintains a smooth feel by infusing urethane into fabric. Along with pushing limits in the world of lightweight, this process also allows pushes the boundaries when it comes to graphics by utilizing the textures and aesthetics associated with a variety of fabrics.
Additional Features
Carbon Array 5™ - Has carbon stringers placed in the binding zones to focus energy and ensure precise response.
