1. Snowboard
Mtnpig 2023
The MTN Pig 2023 is an iconic freeride board from Ride. Designed for men of advanced to expert level, it is ready to swallow tons of fresh snow.
Let's start with the new features; first of all the most obvious: the shape. Although the latter is still a directional shape with a larger and slightly wider nose, the tail is now cut in two, a bit like a swallow tail. This allows it to be even more at ease in powder snow. This allows the tail to sink into the popcorn, which increases manoeuvrability, and brings out the nose for increased lift.
This space tail does not reduce the effective edge length and allows you to push the board even harder to twist and make short, powerful turns.
The rigid flex is reinforced with inserts Carbon Array 5™ and Carbon Slimwalls® inserts that provide precision and a tremendous energy return as soon as the board is put under tension. There are also reinforcements Double Impact Plates are also located underneath the fixings to reinforce the whole and to further stabilise the snow. You end up with an ultra stable board that propels you through every curve.
As for its profile, the MTN Pig retains its large camber over most of its length and a pronounced rocker at the nose to allow for easy launch in the fresh air and to facilitate cornering.
On the track, the MTN Pig is far from being in the shadows, as it goes from edge to edge in the blink of an eye and carves as if it were in a rail.
The MTN Pig is a board for riding hard, riding fast and riding well and it will make you understand that.
Dimension lines : 301-252-295 mm in the 159cm model
Sidecut : 10 - 6.6 m in the 159cm model
Flex : 9/10, rigid.
Shape :
Directionnal Hybride CamberThe Deuter AirComfort Back System: Long camber that extends beyond the feet for excellent responsiveness and edge grip and a big front rocker. This rocker is there for greater float and manoeuvrability on all snow conditions. The split tail helps to push the heel into the powder for excellent manoeuvrability.
Tappered Linear Quadratic Sidecut The Deuter AirComfort Back System: Consists of a radius that facilitates nose corner entry, from the grip to the rear inserts and a long, perfectly straight line to the tail. The result is a considerable power gain at the end of a turn
Construction :
Performance Core The Deuter AirComfort Back System: It is a very strong aspen core, combined with bamboo for its flex and paulownia for its light weight. A perfect blend of strength and lightness.
Double Impact Plates The Deuter AirComfort Back System: 2 reinforcement plates superimposed and placed under each of the binding zones. Improves resistance when compressed and reduces the risk of breaking.
Carbon Infused GlassThe Deuter AirComfort Back System: Carbon fibres placed perpendicular to the glass fibres. For an even more powerful pop, more responsiveness and without stiffening the board.
Sole : Sintered in Ptex 4000, which is more durable, dense, and resistant than an extruded base.
Technologies :
Thin Con : toutes les planches RIDE ont leur nose et leur tail affinés. The aim is to reduce weight, facilitate the use of the ends and promote durability.
Carbon Slimewalls® Slimewalls (in urethane and all around the board) are combined with carbon and placed strategically. This way, the rider can put more pressure on the board to enjoy a tenfold pop. They improve the cushioning of the edges and sidewalls making them more resistant.
Roll In Construction : 3D construction around the Slimewall edges increases stiffness, prevents the torch from falling apart and reduces the overall weight of the board.
Carbon Array 5 this technology allows the energy to be redistributed efficiently to the whole board regardless of the stance of the bindings. 5 wide carbon strips extend from the binding area to the middle of the opposite rocker. Your heels are connected to your opposite edge (and so are your toes), which makes it much easier to control the board and switch between the edges.
La MTN Pig 2023 présente beaucoup de qualités sur piste : elle trace tout droit sans aucunes vibrations, elle carve comme dans des rails et sa restitution d'énergie en fin de courbe est toujours aussi puissante.
En poudreuse, ce tail est incroyable et permet un ride facile peu importe la quantité de neige. Le nose plane au dessus de la peuf sans le moindre problème de maniabilité.
La MTN Pig est une excellente planche que l'on conseille à tous les bons riders en quête de sensations.
Les Plus : Stabilité, portance, performances et accroche de dingue,...
Les Moins : Bien penser à s'échauffer les jambes !
