Ride Snowboard Technology

 

•  Forgiving & ductile 
•  Absorbs impact rather than defending against it

ABS
•  Responsive ABS Alloy

 

CARBON ARRAY
Power distribution technology designed to enhance Rider response.

Carbon Array 7 
•  Rider input is focused towards contacts in all stance positions through 7
rays 

Carbon Array 5 
•  Rider input is focused towards contacts in all stance positions through 5
rays 

Carbon Array 3 
•  Rider input is focused towards contacts in all stance positions through 3
rays 

TUNED CORE™
Blending 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.

New! Silencers 
Ride’s new and improved NR Con Silencers directly compliment the shape of
Carbon Array and filter even more edge vibration for a super smoothed-out,
snappy core.

New! Silencer 7
•  Complete integration of Carbon Array 7, Silencer, and the core 
•  Carbon Array is encased in a new viscoelastic Silencer material 
• Tip-to-tail, full-core-thickness Silencer stringers 

New! Silencer 5
•  Original Silencer material in new Carbon Array 5 shape with twice the
volume as Silencer 3

New! Silencer 3
•  Original Silencer material in new Carbon Array 3 shape

Aggression
™• Urethane sandwiched Carbon
o  Double the amount of Urethane
o  Balances the high frequency of Carbon
o  Kills vibration across the core

Response™
•  Carbon outer stringers for more return energy (snap)
•  Urethane center isolates each board half from vibrations
•  3 different wood species, each selected for best strength and weight 

Foundation™
•  Tip-to-tail wood core
•  Proven durability 
•  Retains camber and flex

 

STEEL
Ride’s single piece of steel wraps the entire perimeter of your board for the best
delam protection around.

Cleave Edge
•  Nearly 50% more steel
•  Delivers unmatched resistance to edge cracking
•  Can be detuned to larger radii

Stainless Steel Edge
•  Same Rockwell hardness
•  Corrosion resistant properties
•  Less tuning needed

Standard Edge
•  Rockwell 48 C

GLASS
Ride only uses stitched glass, as opposed to woven glass. Stitched glass is
flatter, consistent, and therefore stronger with no gaps or stretching as can be
found in woven glass.

New! REAL UL Glass
•  REAL Hybrid glass taken to the next level of lightweight pop
•  Tailored specifically for the compression forces that occur in topglass, the
REAL UL system adds more carbon to the topglass, while keeping the
damp snap tension properties of Aramid on the bottom of the core 
•  Our enginerds call it Intelligent Fiber Placement. You will call it f—kin’ light
and poppy!  

REAL Hybrid Glass
•  Aramid, Carbon and Glass 90° fibers
• 45° / -45° Glass
• Ultra light
• Damp snap

Hybrid Glass
•  Triaxial on base (0°, 45° and -45°)
•  Biaxial on top (90° and 0°)
•  Balanced torsion and stiffness for better response with speed

Biaxial Glass
• 90° and 0° angles 
• Lightweight
•  Fun and forgiving

LAMINATES
Carbon is used to increase pop and liveliness with the added benefit of strength,
while Aramid works as a dampening agent also adding strength. 

Carbon & Aramid 
•  Carbon on top; Aramid on base
•  More snap for ollie power
•  Increased longitudinal and torsional flex

Linear Carbon
•  More snap for ollie power

 

FUSION BASES™
Ride invented and owns the Fusion Base Technology™ in which base material is
formed together for a solid, fast Ride every time.

Copper Fusion 
•  Copper is the most conductive additive used in snowboard bases, creating
the fastest Ride around 
•  Conducts both heat and static
•  Provides benefit over a wide variety of snow conditions
•  Visible copper particles in the base

Fusion 4000
•  Fastest base material known (sintered)
•  More durable, harder and faster than extruded

Fusion 1500 
•  Easy to repair
• Wax absorbing
• Industry standard

INSERTS
Dial in your stance for the option that feels best.
