Backcountry Freeride - Backcountry freeride splitboards are designed for technical descents, steep terrain and riding at higher speeds. They usually feature a directional shape, a medium-stiff to stiff flex and a larger sidecut radius for maximum edge hold and stability. The construction requires an active riding style but provides plenty of control in firm, tracked-out and variable snow. Are challenging lines your priority, with downhill performance coming first? Then a backcountry freeride splitboard is the right choice for you.
Backcountry All-Mountain - A backcountry all-mountain splitboard is the all-rounder for a wide variety of tours and snow conditions. Its directional or directional twin shape and medium to medium-stiff flex provide a good balance of float, manoeuvrability and stability. This makes the board feel reliable in powder, technical terrain and firmer snow. Do you want one splitboard that can handle almost anything? Then backcountry all-mountain is the most versatile choice.
Backcountry Powder - Backcountry powder splitboards are designed to provide maximum float in deep snow. A wide, elongated nose, taper, setback and often additional rocker keep the nose above the snow and make the board easy to steer. Some models are long and stable for open lines, while volume-shifted designs are shorter and more agile for tree runs and pillows. Do you mainly plan your tours around fresh snow? Then a backcountry powder splitboard is the best choice for you.
Backcountry Freestyle - Backcountry freestyle splitboards combine the freedom of touring with a playful, freestyle-oriented ride. They usually have a twin-like or directional twin shape, a balanced flex and enough pop for natural side hits, drops, spins and switch landings. At the same time, they provide enough stability and float to perform well away from the resort. Do you see the terrain as a natural snowpark and want to get creative on your descents? Then choose a backcountry freestyle splitboard.
Multi-Day Tours - Splitboards for multi-day tours focus on low weight, efficient climbing and reliable performance in a wide range of conditions. They often feature a lightweight yet durable construction, good traction on the skin track and enough stability for controlled descents with a heavy backpack. Predictable handling and versatility are more important than a highly specific powder or freestyle focus. Do you embark on long tours where every gram matters and snow conditions can vary? Then a splitboard designed for multi-day tours is the right choice for you.
