OUR REVIEW OF THE SPLITBOARD RIDE SPLITPIG
MANUFACTURER’S OPINION
The Ride Splitpig splitboard is an innovative board, designed for backcountry enthusiasts seeking performance and versatility. Inspired by Ride’s Warpig model, the Splitpig retains the features that made this board successful while offering the advantages of a splitboard.
The Splitpig stands out with its directional shape, featuring a wide nose and tapered tail, ensuring excellent floatation in powder and exceptional maneuverability. Its unique profile incorporates camber underfoot and rocker at the nose, providing solid grip and high responsiveness, while facilitating turns in challenging terrain.
The core of the Splitpig is made of poplar wood, reinforced with bamboo inserts, giving it lightness and robustness. This construction optimizes performance both uphill and downhill, while withstanding the rigors of the terrain. The sintered base, fast and durable, ensures smooth glide on all snow types, requiring little maintenance.
Ride has also integrated wavy edges, called Roll-In Slimewalls, which improve grip on icy and hard surfaces, thus offering increased safety in varied conditions. The connection clips and the climbing skin system are designed for easy transition between ascent and descent, allowing riders to quickly switch from one mode to another without wasting time.
In addition to its technical performance, the Splitpig reflects Ride’s commitment to sustainable and responsible manufacturing, using eco-friendly materials wherever possible. The Ride Splitpig is thus a splitboard of choice for those seeking a board capable of everything, from arduous ascents to smooth powder descents, with exceptional responsiveness and durability.
