THE FREERIDE SPLIT
THE FREERIDE SPLIT
We’ve found a small batch of splitboards in the warehouse.
Instead of letting them collect dust, we’d like to see them being used – so we’re now offering them at a heavily discounted price.
We want to be fully transparent: this model has a lighter wood core, and may break more easily under heavy load than the very durable splitboards Furberg Snowboards is known for.
That’s why we mainly recommend them for:
- Lighter riders
- Less aggressive riders
If you’re planning mellow tours and looking for a light board (approximately 2950g for size 160), this could be a very affordable option.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Furberg Snowboards is introducing Floorboard Technology!
A tongue and groove on the Freeride Split and All Mtn Split is connecting the board halves and eliminating vertical play between them. The result is a responsive splitboard that rides more like a regular snowboard.
Gone is the lack of response that splitboards used to suffer from.
The tongue and groove of the 2019/20 Freeride Split eliminates movement between the board halves. Assembles like a regular splitboard. Rides like a snowboard.
A custom ice scraper that can be used to easily clean both board halves and bindings from snow and ice comes along with the splitboard. While not needed most of the time, this is a great tool to have for the conditions where snow tends to stick to the board.
Long turning radius
It is standard to use a longer turning radius on a freeride ski than on a slalom ski in the skiing industry; however, Furberg Snowboards is the only brand to adapt the turning radius for freeride snowboards. A longer turning radius generates better stability at higher speeds and, more importantly, gives the boards a calmer and more forgiving behavior by distributing the edge pressure over the entire contact length.
Low Camber
The best compromise between the flotation of full rocker, responsiveness, and grip of camber.
Long Rocker and Reverse Sidecut radiuses
When a board is ridden flat on the snow, a long rocker transition will make the nose of the board impact irregularities with a low angle of incidence and slide over with little resistance. Many snowboard brands are aware of this, but only we have combined the rocker with a reverse sidecut in nose and tail to maintain this low angle of incidence when riding the board on edge.
The long transitions of the reverse sidecut make the board turn more effortlessly since the typical pressure points at the end of the effective edge do not exist. The overall result is a very catch-free and surfy board.
Long and high nose
Increases flotation and makes the board slide over irregularities in the snowpack with less resistance. The very last part of the nose also has a slightly steeper angle to make touring with our splitboards easier.
