Ride Vantum Snowboard 2027

Vantum sounds pretty futuristic, and the board lives up to the name. It’s built to feel at home on groomers, side hits, and powder, and it’s ready for park laps when you’re feeling sporty. It’s meant to be ridden at a traditional length, with RIDE’s directional standard camber keeping it stable and ready for takeoffs, landings, and everything in between.

The new Urethane Channel is the headline tech. RIDE mills sections out of the nose of the core and fills them with the same kind of urethane used in its Slimewalls, which keeps the nose calm and chatter-free in choppy snow. A tapered quadratic sidecut and Roll-In Construction make the board quick edge to edge, help it float in deep snow, and keep it nimble enough to nail that side hit you’ve been eyeing.

Key features:

• Urethane Channel: Urethane-filled sections in the nose keep it stable and chatter resistant in choppy conditions
• Standard camber: A slight traditional camber zone for a responsive feel that isn’t overpowering
• Directional shape: More nose than tail with a set-back stance. You can ride it switch, but it’s built to go one way.
• Quadratic sidecut: Blends three radii for better turn initiation and exit with plenty of grip
• Slimewalls®: Urethane sidewalls that absorb impacts instead of fighting them, and among the most durable in snowboarding
• Roll-In Construction: A 3D structure built around the Slimewalls that adds strength, prevents topsheet chipping, and cuts weight
• Zonal Carbon Rails: Carbon strips from the contact points to the inserts for more direct power transfer
• Single Impact Plates: Added under each binding area to improve compressive strength and help prevent breaks
• Hybrid Glass: Triaxial on top and biaxial on the base for balanced torsional flex and better response at speed
• Sintered 4000 base: Harder, faster, and more durable than extruded, with a stone-ground finish
• Performance™ core: Aspen, bamboo, and lightweight paulownia for a strong, light balance
