Ride Vantum Snowboard

Modern all-mountain snowboard combining stability, agility and float

The Ride Vantum is a directional all-mountain snowboard for intermediate and advanced riders looking for a versatile board for fast groomers, powder and varied terrain. Its medium flex and Directional Standard Camber provide a balance of stability, energy and easy handling. The Vantum is designed to be ridden at your regular snowboard length – no downsizing is required.

Characteristics

Directional Standard Camber provides stable support at higher speeds, strong pop and confidence on landings while maintaining a predictable and approachable feel. The directional shape with a larger nose, shorter tail and setback stance improves float in deeper snow, while the Tapered Quadratic Sidecut helps the Vantum initiate turns smoothly and transition quickly from edge to edge.

Urethane Channel – a calmer nose in rough terrain

One of the key features of the Vantum is the Urethane Channel. Special channels are milled into the core and filled with urethane similar to the material used in Slimewalls®. Concentrated around the nose, this solution helps reduce vibration when riding quickly through chopped-up and uneven snow. As a result, the front of the board remains calmer and the ride feels more stable and predictable.

Advanced technologies:

• Standard Camber Profile: moderate traditional camber provides responsive pop, control and stability without an overly aggressive feel.
• Directional Shape: a larger nose, shorter tail, setback stance and matching sidecut provide natural handling and improved float in soft snow.
• Urethane Channel: milled channels in the core filled with urethane help dampen nose vibrations when riding through rough and chopped-up snow.
• Tapered Quadratic Sidecut: directional geometry using three radii improves turn initiation and exit, edge hold and overall agility.
• Slimewalls®: urethane sidewalls absorb impacts and vibrations, providing a smoother ride and high durability.
• Roll-In Construction: three-dimensional construction around the Slimewalls® improves durability, reduces topsheet chipping and helps lower weight.
• Single Impact Plates: additional reinforcement under the bindings increases resistance to compression and damage around the inserts.
• Hybrid Glass: triaxial fiberglass on top and biaxial fiberglass on the base side provide a balance of stiffness, torsional flex and responsiveness at higher speeds.
• Performance™ Core: a combination of durable aspen, bamboo and lightweight paulownia provides a good balance of low weight, responsiveness and durability.
• Sintered 4000 Base: a hard and fast sintered base provides excellent durability and very good riding performance.
• Stone Ground Finish: factory stone-ground base finishing provides a smooth and even running surface.
• Standard Topsheet: a durable urethane topsheet protects the board construction during everyday use.
• Wend® Meadowfoam Biodegradable Wax: factory-applied biodegradable wax made using meadowfoam seed oil.
• 30% Recycled Steel Edges: steel edges containing 30% recycled material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Ride snowboards stand out?

Ride snowboards are designed with durability, precise handling and versatility in mind. The brand uses proprietary technologies such as Slimewalls®, Carbon Array™, Performance™ Core and various camber and rocker profiles to provide the right riding characteristics for every style of snowboarding.

How do I choose the right Ride snowboard length?

The most important factor is rider weight. The manufacturer provides recommended weight ranges for each board size. Height is a secondary factor and mainly affects individual preferences regarding how the board feels and handles.

When should I choose a Wide version?

Wide versions are designed for riders with larger snowboard boots. With most manufacturers, it is worth considering a Wide board from approximately EU size 44 and above to reduce the risk of toe or heel drag during turns.

Do Ride snowboards require regular maintenance?

Yes. Regular base waxing, along with checking and sharpening the edges, helps maintain high speed, reliable grip and extends the lifespan of the board. Service frequency depends on how intensively the board is used and on snow conditions.

How should I store the board outside the season?

After the season, it is worth cleaning the board thoroughly, protecting the base with a layer of wax and storing it in a dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. This will help the board retain its properties for the next season.

Where are Ride snowboards manufactured?

Ride has been working with some of the most renowned snowboard factories in the world for many years. Each board is made using high-quality materials and strict quality control, resulting in durability and consistent riding characteristics.
