The Ride Shadowban is an all-mountain multi-purpose board carrying premium materials such as Carbon Array 3, impact plates and Slimewalls in a camber-based hybrid construction, tuned to be more user-friendly while inheriting the Algorithm's DNA. It performs evenly across all terrain including park, powder and carving, making it strongly recommended as a one-board quiver for intermediate to advanced riders. If you're weighing an all-mountain board from Ride's lineup, it's one of the safest, most satisfying options.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber profile: traditional camber through the middle provides power and stability, with rocker applied at the nose and tail tips. The nose rocker is slightly greater than the tail's, strengthening its directional twin character and reducing edge catch.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex tuned softer than the Algorithm. Carbon Array 3 and an impact plate maintain pop and responsiveness while providing a soft, smooth ride feel.
Where it shines
Who it suits
Its main target is intermediate to advanced riders, suiting those who want a one-board all-mountain quiver. A non-aggressive, user-friendly flex means it works across varied terrain.
Good
- ✓The combination of precured glass, Carbon Array 3 and impact plates gives it excellent pop, power and landing stability
- ✓Slimewalls (urethane sidewalls) deliver impact absorption and vibration damping while improving edge hold even in icy conditions
- ✓High versatility covering park through powder suits it as an all-mountain one-board quiver
- ✓Nose/tail rocker secures smooth, catch-free edge transitions and powder float
Not so good
- —A more supple flex than the Algorithm can leave it somewhat lacking for advanced riders pursuing more aggressive riding
- —Its directional twin design may not be a perfect alternative for park/freestyle riders who prefer a pure twin
