Vantum Snowboard 2027

The Ride Vantum Snowboard 2027 is an all-new addition to the Ride lineup, taking the playful, freestyle-inspired DNA of the legendary Ride Pig series and channelling it into a traditional, directional all-mountain shape. Built for intermediate to advanced riders who want one board that handles everything the mountain throws at them, the Vantum is a true daily driver - equally at home on groomers, natural terrain and soft snow.

A tapered directional shape with 19mm setback stance provides effortless float in powder and confident directional riding, while the Standard Camber profile delivers powerful edge hold and responsive carving performance. The Linear Quadratic Sidecut blends multiple radii for smooth turn initiation and strong grip throughout the arc - no sudden bite, just clean, predictable carves from top to bottom.

Where the Vantum really sets itself apart is in its vibration damping technology. Ride's signature Slimewalls - urethane sidewalls that absorb impacts rather than deflecting them - keep the ride smooth and composed on variable or choppy snow. New for 2027, Urethane Channels in the nose further reduce chatter, while Zonal Carbon Rails run from the insert pack toward the contact points to sharpen edge response and power transfer. The Performance Core, combining Aspen, Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood, strikes the ideal balance of strength and weight.

A high-end Sintered 4000 Ptex base is stone ground for a perfectly flat, fast finish, and Hybrid Glass construction - triaxial on top, biaxial below - delivers balanced torsional flex and stability. Roll-In Construction wraps everything in a reinforced 3D structure that resists topsheet chipping and reduces unnecessary weight. If you're looking for a versatile all-mountain snowboard that rides with a freeride attitude, the Ride Vantum 2027 is a serious contender.

Our Testers Say: "A lively, responsive freeride board that turns quickly while maintaining plenty of directional drive. It powers confidently through chop and slush and feels like it has plenty more to offer when the snow gets deeper. One of those boards that immediately puts a smile on your face." "The Vantum had me grinning — it's a properly fun, playful carver. It's light underfoot yet stays stable over choppy snow, a hard combination to find. Stick with your usual length rather than sizing down and you'll get the best out of it. Worth noting it's definitely happiest in softer conditions rather than really hard pack." 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.
