Superpig 2023
The Superpig is part of the "elite board" category from Rideit is designed for men with a confirmed or expert level who are looking for an aggressive board to charge (understand big) on the whole mountain.
It is back this year and is positioned as a very high quality all-mountain board. Built on the same shape as the Warpigit is distinguished by a more accentuated camber and by technologies and materials absent from its little sister the Warpig.
The camber is therefore a Tapered Directional the camber is therefore a solid grip with a long effective edge, increased manoeuvrability, and great lift in the wind. Tappered means that the widest point of each tip is moved closer to the centre of the board to facilitate edge grip and maximise flotation. Despite its small size, you will still soar above the fresh snow.
Its profile Hybrid Camber is characterised by a long camber that goes beyond the bindings and a large front rocker. Unlike the Warpigthe camber allows for a big pop and a very responsive board when going over the edges.
The Superpig has a rigid flex to make it a board that reacts instantly to what you throw at it. This flex comes from its wood core Performance Core™, which is very resistant and known for its lightness and energy restitution properties. In addition, inserts Carbon Array 5 inserts add to the responsiveness. Finally, there are Carbon Slimewalls are present all along the edges to reinforce them and to absorb vibrations due to shocks and imperfections of the snow.
As you can see, the Superpig is ideal for riders looking for a very powerful, versatile and durable board!
Nb : The Superpig can be ridden 6 to 10cm shorter than your classic boards, so you can take full advantage of its full range of talents.
Dimension lines : 316-265-306 mm in the 151cm model
Sidecut : 5.4 - 6.5 m in the 151cm model
Flex : 10/10 , very rigid
Shape :
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 short tail helps to push the heel into the powder for excellent manoeuvrability.
Tappered Bi-Radial Sidecut this allows a board with a wide skate to have normal sized noses and tails. This limits the leverage on landings, improves edge grip and stabilises the board.
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 The Deuter AirComfort Back System: 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 entire 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 Superpig et son shape original va en surprendre plus d'un ! Il faut un petit temps pour s'adapter à sa taille réduite et à son flex en béton. En revanche, une fois qu'on prit le coup, on est parti pour des heures à tracer à Mach 2 la moindre pente. Son agilité est impressionnante et l'énergie qu'elle restitue en fin de courbe ou juste avant un saut est démentielle.
Elle est (très) à l'aise sur tous les terrain. Sa petite taille permet d'envoyer facilement des rotations, le gros rocker avant fait déjauger la planche sans forcer et son sa nervosité permet d'enchaîner courbes sur la piste.
Il faut noter qu'après une bonne journée, la Superpig se fait exigente et fait bosser les cuisses !
Les Plus : une planche très performante, quelque soit l'endroit !
Les Moins : il vaut mieux avoir de bonnes jambes !
