Matix being a clothing brand, and Ride being a snowboarding company makes this collab very interesting. Like most aesthetic x technical collaberations, Matix brings the visual appeal and Ride brings the technicalities. Unfortunately for the guys this is a girl’s snowboard.
Although the design (look) is really nice, the technical aspects are the bragging point:
“The top-shelf Canvas dishes out a smooth ride in style with 85A Slimewalls® and the non-stop pop of the inlayed carbon ribs, Pop Stixs™. The freestyle board features a new LowRize™ Rocker profile with a Radial BlendZ sidecut that delivers optimal hook-free goodness, power and float in all snow conditions. And it’s topped off with a lightweight Ride-exclusive Membrain® top sheet that features authentic threads from Matix.”
In simplier terms, the Lowrize Rocker lifts just your contact points off the snow to give you a smooth, catch-free ride without sacrificing any pop. The Lowrize Sidecut gives you a less hooky feel and better tracking, while the Membrain topsheet makes it super lightweight, while the Pop Stix give it that extra snap to make it a fun and responsive snowboard.
