Everything about the Ride Moderator
Everything about the Ride Moderator
The Ride Moderator is the ultimate all-mountain snowboard that, with powerful camber, a smooth flex and high-end technology, makes every descent faster, more stable and more fun.
What makes the Moderator so special is the balanced combination of technologies and design choices. The board has a Tapered Directional Extra Camber profile, which means that the camber section provides powerful turns and grip, while the slightly raised nose helps you effortlessly stay afloat in deeper snow.
One of the technical highlights is the Slim Wall construction — a urethane edge layer that runs along the sides to optimize flex and damping. As a result, the board feels lively but absorbs impacts better than traditional constructions.
The Ride Moderator Snowboard is the ultimate all-mountain snowboard for riders who want one board that can truly do it all. Whether you carve groomed runs, float through fresh powder, or are looking for pop for small jumps — the Moderator handles it all with confidence and smooth control.
What makes the Moderator so special is the balanced combination of technologies and design choices. The board features a Tapered Directional Extra Camber profile, which means the camber section provides powerful turns and grip, while the slightly raised nose helps you effortlessly stay afloat in deeper snow. The directional (directional) shape and setback Stance add extra stability at high speeds, without requiring you to downsize — ideal for anyone who wants to head straight up the mountain without compromises
The medium flex makes the Moderator accessible for both intermediate and advanced riders: playful enough for creative riding, yet stiff enough to deliver solid performance when it counts. Thanks to the Tapered Linear Quadratic Sidecut you get smooth turn initiation and excellent grip, even in hard-carved turns.
One of the technical highlights is the Slim Wall construction — a urethane sidewall layer that runs along the edges to optimize flex and dampening. This makes the board feel lively while dampening shocks better than traditional constructions. The board’s core, Ride’s Performance™ Light Core, combines lightweight materials for responsive flex with durability. In combination with Carbon Array™ 3, energy is distributed efficiently across the board and you have maximum control regardless of your Stance.
The Sintered Stone Ground Base provides speed and durability across different snow types, while the use of bio-resin contributes to a more environmentally friendly production.
The Ride Moderator is available in a wide range of sizes (from 144 to 165W), meaning there’s a suitable size for almost every rider. In short: this is a premium board that offers you versatility, performance, and fun — whether you choose piste, park or powder.
