Capita Sidewinder Snowboard 2027

Cut deep, stay low and lock into every turn with the new Sidewinder a resort focused carving machine built for precision and speed. Featuring a directional shape, positive camber and responsive torsional flex, this board is engineered for riders who love driving hard through powerful, committed turns. From first tracks on fresh corduroy to late day groomer laps, the Sidewinder delivers pure carving performance with confidence and control.

Designed with a robust, dependable construction, the all new Sidewinder proves that premium carving performance doesn’t have to come at a premium price. The progressive sidecut creates a smooth, effortless turn initiation, while the tapered shape and articulated tail generate strong, controlled exits with every carve.

Fast, precise and highly rewarding to ride, the Sidewinder is built to help you hunt down clean lines and attack the mountain with purpose.

Tech:

• Flex - Medium (5.5/10): Torsional softness with enough bite that it holds effortless carves.
• Directional Shape, 20mm Setback: Directional Shape, 20mm Setback: A longer nose and a shorter tail, the very essence of a freeride snowboard. With the rider weight slightly shifted to the rear of the snowboard, you get easier float in the fresh snow and you save the dreaded leg burn by not having to lean back as must as you would on a twin snowboard.
• Alpine V3 Profile: The Alpine V3 profile has a low rise camber that zeros out before the end of the sidecut. The small zero camber sections provide a more controlled ride while retaining the response and power of a cambered board.
• Dual Core: Poppy lightweight Poplar core combined with Beech for increased power and durability.
• Special Blend Fibreglass: An eco-friendly wet lay-up process that uses their MAGIC BEAN™ resin component requiring lower consumption of energy and yielding higher technical properties. This configuration uses an optimum blend of Biaxial fibreglass laminated in conjunction with structural additives to customise performance objectives.
• 2 x 20mm Carbon Aramid Boosters: The Carbon fibre provides rigid, rapid snap for ollies and carves. While the Aramid acts as a shock absorber, reducing chatter and micro-vibrations for a smoother ride. The high strength to weight ratio allows for a lighter board that retains its stiffness over time.
• Magic Bean™ Resin: This resin system is poppy, powerful, and extremely durable. MAGIC BEAN ™ resin yields much stronger and more rigid qualities allowing Capita to decrease the wood core thickness.
• Quantum Drive™ Base (Sintered): Formulated with a progressive blend of compressed ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.  This base features higher density for durability and absorbs more wax to wick longer and ride faster.
• Progressive Sidecut: A Progressive sidecut consists of two or more radii blended together to accommodate the three stages of a turn. They provide easy turn initiation while offering greater control throughout the turn and maximum power when exiting.
