The TwinPig is the freestyle model in Ride’s volume-shifted Pig series. Built around a short, wide twin tip platform, the Twin Pig delivers a more playful and freestyle-friendly ride than the other Pig line boards. However, even though the Twin Pig is a freestyle board for all intent and purpose, it hasn’t compromised any unique riding characteristics that make the award-winning Pig series so much fun to ride across the mountain. So, what you get with the Twin Pig is a responsive, dynamic, yet floaty, playful snowboard that is equally happy lapping the park as it is cruising the mountain, in essence, a freestyle board that morphs seamlessly into a freeride board when the conditions demand. Built around a state of the art, wide platform asymmetrical twin shape with Asymmetrical twin camber, the TwinPig has a softer, more playful flex than the other Pig boards. This slightly softer ride delivers a more playful freestyle-inspired overall feel without compromising outright performance. So, no matter if you want to play around in the park or get out and explore the whole mountain, the TwinPig has you covered.

Rider Style: All-Terrain Freestyle riders

The Twin Pig is aimed at intermediate to advanced freestyle riders who are looking for a versatile board that can deliver no matter the conditions or terrain.

Shape Overview: Assymettric Twin Tip

The TwinPig takes the Pig Series’s short and wide shape concept and applies it to a state of the art asymmetrical twin-tip shape. This innovative design creates a wider platform between the feet with an extended blunt profile nose and tail kick. This advanced shape delivers a balanced overall shape with a low swing weight that doesn’t compromise lift and float away from the park. Now to ensure that the TwinPig doesn’t feel sluggish with its extra width, Ride utilises a tight radius quadratic sidecut on both the toeside and heelside. This advanced geometry gives the board a lively feel underfoot and offsets the slower edge to edge speed of the extra width. Now to ensure that the TwinPig can take maximum advantage of its advanced design, it also features a deeper heelside sidecut. This innovative design offsets the body’s bio-mechanical inability to drive equal power to both the heel edge and toe edge, creating a dynamic and lively ride underfoot.

Profile: Twin Standard Camber

The TwinPig’s Asymmetrical Twin Standard Camber profile combines rocker in the nose and tail with camber under the feet. The rocker at the contact points delivers a more reassuring hook-free feel when playing in the park as well as creating lift and float in deeper snow. To give the board a more dynamic and responsive ride, the TwinPig adds camber under the feet to power up the sidecut. This ensures that when you need edge hold and stability, the TwinPig won’t let you down.

Construction

Internally the TwinPig has been optimised to deliver the perfect balance of all-terrain performance with freestyle friendly feel. Heading this up is the responsive Performance core. Constructed from high-strength Aspen, poppy Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia, it provides the perfect balance of strength, power and weight. To this Ride then add underfoot dampening pads in the binding zones. These help cushion landings and add additional resistance to core compression under excess load. Now to give the TwinPig that optimum all-terrain/freestyle flex, the structural layers are formed from a combination of tri-ax glass on the upper band and bi-ax glass on the lower band. At heart, the TwinPig is a freestyle board, and that’s nowhere more obvious than the addition of the Slim-Wall Slimewall® sidewall tech. Slimewalls® place a thin layer of shock-absorbing Urethane between the edges and the roll-over topsheet. This innovative construction absorbs impacts rather than defending against them. The Urethane in Slimewalls® smoothes the interaction with the snow, wood or metal surfaces you may ride on. The Slim-wall tech gives a more direct power transfer over a regular board. Finally, the Cleave steel edges have nearly 50% more steel; this delivers unmatched resistance to edge cracking while allowing the rider to blunt off the edge far more than with a traditional edge.

Base

The high-performance stone ground Sintered Base gives a faster glide across a wide range of temperatures and conditions.
