Ride Shadowban Snowboard 2026 Mens

The 2026 Ride Shadowban is designed to be a quiver killer that can handle everything on the mountain. No longer do you need to have a board just for park, pow, or groomers, because the Shadowban is a perfect all mountain, directional twin that can be trusted any day of the season. The mellow flex pattern, with its directional twin camber profile charges hard on groomers while being soft enough to not be too aggressive and make you catch your edge, but is still solid underfoot enough to stomp landings in the jump line in the park and the 19mm setback pattern gives you all the additional float you could ever need when chasing that perfect, deep powder day. 

Product Features

• Board Type: All Mountain

  All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything.

• Flex: Mid

  Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.

• Ability Level: Intermediate

  Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.

• Shape: Directional Twin

  A directional twin snowboard has a symmetrical shape but with a slightly shifted stance, making it ideal for riders who want the versatility of a twin for freestyle, with the added stability of a directional design. It performs well both regular and switch but excels in one direction, offering improved control on varied terrain.

• Camber Type: Directional Twin Standard Camber

  

  Camber throughout the board with extended rocker zones in the tip and tail. This provides the pop and stability of camber with less catch at the contact points.

• Width: Standard, Wide

  Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.

  Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.

• Sidecut: Quadratic Sidecut

  A blend of three radii enhances turn initiation and exit while delivering optimal grip. This design is carefully tailored to each model, considering its unique shape and riding style.

• Inserts: 2x4 Inserts

  These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.

• Board Construction

  • Topsheet: Topless Topsheet

    Topless Construction eliminates the need for a topsheet by transferring graphics directly to the fiberglass. This process enhances durability, reduces weight, and minimises raw material usage.

  • Laminate: Pre-Cured Glass, Carbon Array 3, Single Impact Plates

    Pre-cured fiberglass optimises the glass-to-resin ratio for a consistent flex pattern. No other fiberglass offers this level of stability and control.

    This power distribution technology ensures complete board control at every stance position. Three carbon stringers, strategically placed in the binding zone, collect input from any stance width and pressure angles. Rider input is efficiently directed to the opposite contact point for optimal board control.

    Single layer urethane weaves placed beneath each binding area enhance compressive strength, preventing board breaks where it’s needed most.

    

  • Core: Performance Light Core

    A blend of high-strength Aspen and Bamboo wood creates the ideal balance of strength.

    Sidewall: Slimewalls, Roll-In Construction

    Flexible and impact-absorbing, Slimewalls work like skateboard wheels, softening interactions with snow, wood, or metal surfaces. Virtually indestructible, they’re the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.

    A distinctive 3D structure surrounds our urethane Slimewall sidewalls, designed to enhance overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping, and reduce weight.

  • Base: Sintered, Stone Ground Base

    This base is created by heating and compressing small polyethylene particles, forming a porous structure that absorbs wax efficiently. As a result, the board glides smoothly and quickly on snow. Sintered bases are known for their toughness, durability, and speed. RIDE uses a premium 4000 PTEX material for its sintered bases.

  • Edges: Standard Steel Edge

    A strong, standard metal edge material.

• Additional Features:

  • Thin Con - All Ride boards are designed with Thin Construction, featuring tapered tips and tails. This design reduces swing weight, improves tip flex, and boosts overall durability.
