Dark Horse Snowboard 2027

The Capita Dark Horse is the brand's accessible entry point into serious park and freestyle snowboarding — a board born from the DNA of the team-favourite Outsiders, pared back to the essential technical components and priced for riders who want real performance without the premium price tag. It is focused, purposeful, and delivers considerably more than its price point suggests.

The Dual Core combines Carbon Aramid, Beech, and Poplar for a lively, lightweight feel. 2 x 30mm Carbon Aramid Boosters run longitudinally through the core, amplifying snap and ollie power for more explosive take-offs. Special Blend Fiberglass and Magic Bean Resin keep the ride poppy and responsive, while the Park V1 camber profile delivers locked-in pop without the catchiness of a full camber board. Suited to intermediate to advanced park and resort freestyle riders. Flex rating: 6/10.

Our Testers Say: "A powerful twin that blends solid piste performance with a playful freestyle attitude. Stable underfoot with plenty of support for carving, it really comes alive when launching off kickers, side hits and natural features, making it an ideal resort  or freestyle board for riders who love to play all over the mountain." At Snowtrax, we try to test every ski and snowboard on the mountain before it hits our shelves, so we know it lives up to the hype. This hands-on testing across different riding styles and terrain gives our staff real expertise, letting them recommend gear based on what a customer actually needs, not just a catalogue rundown.
