GAME-CHANGING ALL MOUNTAIN CHARGERThe Ride Warpig has firmly established itself as one of the best freeride boards on the market. Built around a compact volume shifted fully directional shape, this powerhouse of a snowboard shuns traditional snowboard thinking to deliver a level of performance that is nothing short of remarkable. No matter if you’re charging groomers or hitting up waist-deep backcountry powder stashes, the Warpig’s unique shape dispatches it all with ease. The secret to its success lies in its combination of volume shifted shape and class-leading construction. The short, wide, tapered directional chassis with bi-radial sidecut is perfectly matched to Ride’s powerful and responsive Carbon Array 3 construction. This innovative design and build provides the optimum balance of response, control and outright performance, delivering a unique riding experience no matter what or where you ride.Rider Style: FreeridersAdvanced to expert freeriders who are looking for a short high-performance board that makes you rethink your whole approach to snowboarding.Shape Overview: Volume Shifted DirectionalThe Warpigs advanced tapered volume shifted directional shape is designed to deliver the perfect balance of on-piste control with off-piste lift and float. The most obvious sign of this is the exaggerated blunt nose shape. This innovative nose design provides effortless lift and float without ever feeling overly weighty or unwieldy. Ride then matched this with a wide central platform under the feet. By adding width rather than length, you still get the same surface area, but you get that surface are in a far more manoeuvrable form, creating a floaty yet nimble board. The extra width also works well with Warpigs aggressive sidecut geometry by reducing toe and heel drag to an absolute minimum. This results in a board that not only works great in the pow but a board you can crank it with on the piste.Profile: Directional RockerThe Warpigs Directional Rocker profile combines an extended rocker at the nose with a shorter less pronounced rocker at the tail. This combination gives excellent lift and float at the front of the board while still allowing the rear to drive out the back of the turn. Between the feet, the Warpig reverts to a flat profile. This gives a more predictable ride while still powering up the sidecut when on edge.ConstructionInternally the Warpig utilises Ride’s high-end Carbon Array 3 construction. Heading this up is the responsive Performance core. Constructed from a combination of high strength Aspen, poppy Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia, it provides the perfect balance of strength, power and weight. Sitting on top of this are the Double Impact plates, these cushion the bindings from hard landings as well as adding an extra layer of defence against core compression. Now to deliver that perfect balance of performance and freestyle feel the Warpigs structural layers are created from an advanced Hybrid Glassfibre. This combination of triax glass on top and biax on the base delivers the optimum balance of torsion and stiffness for the ultimate in response and control. The structural layers are then further reinforced with the addition of the Carbon Array 3 reinforcing. By placing three carbon strips running from the contact points through the binding zones at both the tip and tail, Ride powers up the contact points creating a faster and more responsive tip and tail engagement without compromising torsional twist through the centre of the board.BaseHigh-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
