Ride Vantum Snowboard 2027

The Ride Vantum takes a familiar recipe and gives it just enough refinement to stand out.

It's a directional, cambered all-mountain snowboard built for riders who know they prefer pointing it downhill over spinning every feature in sight. Whether you're carving early morning groomers, weaving through trees, or launching the occasional side hit, the Vantum feels right at home.

Compared to the Current, the biggest difference is the camber profile.

The Vantum uses traditional directional camber, giving it a little more grip, stronger edge engagement, and a more connected feel throughout the turn. It rewards good technique with plenty of energy coming out of each carve while remaining forgiving enough that intermediate riders won't feel like they're signed up for more board than they can handle.

One of the smartest additions is something you can't immediately see.

Ride's new Urethane Channel places strips of urethane into the nose of the board, helping absorb vibration before it reaches your feet. If you've ever spent an afternoon blasting through refrozen tracks, chopped-up groomers, or the kind of frozen crud that seems to appear after lunch, you'll appreciate what it does. Instead of the nose feeling nervous or deflecting across rough snow, the board stays composed and tracks confidently through the mess.

The rest of the board matches that philosophy. The tapered directional shape, quadratic sidecut, and medium flex create a ride that's energetic without becoming demanding. It feels quick edge to edge, carries speed naturally, and has plenty of pop when you want to leave the ground, but it never loses the approachable personality that makes it enjoyable from first chair to last.

If you're the kind of rider who's moved beyond twin boards and knows you'd rather carve, explore, and ride the mountain than spend the day practicing switch, the Vantum is a ripper. It's an exciting all-mountain board with a few genuinely useful ideas that make it even better when conditions aren't perfect.
