2027 RIDE Vantum Snowboard

The 2027 RIDE Vantum is a new addition to the lineup designed to bring the playful, approachable feel of RIDE’s Pig Series into a more traditional all-mountain shape. It’s built for riders who want a directional board that still feels balanced and easy to control, blending freeride stability with a freestyle-friendly mindset. With a shape and flex aimed at intermediate riders looking to explore more of the mountain, the Vantum sits comfortably as a versatile daily driver that can handle everything from groomer laps to natural terrain.

The tapered directional shape and camber profile give the Vantum a confident, responsive feel when carving while still maintaining a smooth and predictable ride. A slight rocker rise in the nose and tail helps keep the board forgiving and manoeuvrable, while the moderate flex makes it accessible for riders who are still progressing their technique. RIDE’s construction focuses on keeping the board stable and damp underfoot, with urethane sidewall materials and carbon reinforcement working together to reduce chatter and improve power transfer. New features like Zonal Carbon Rails and Urethane Channels further refine the ride feel, improving stability in rough snow while helping the board feel controlled and composed at speed.

Known for durable construction and practical engineering, the brand has consistently focused on developing technologies that improve strength, response and stability on snow.

Technologies like Slimewalls®, advanced carbon reinforcement and durable core constructions have helped RIDE boards develop a reputation for feeling solid, stable and dependable underfoot.
