{"product_id":"2027-ride-berzerker-snowboard-rd261856","title":"2027 Ride Berzerker Snowboard","description":"\u003cp\u003eHard-charging riders who want a directional all-mountain weapon should put the Ride Berzerker on their short list. Built around a Tapered Directional Extra Camber profile, this board leans into stability at speed, edge hold through committed turns, and the kind of pop out of compressions that asks for an honest rider input. The shape is set back, the tail comes around hard when called, and the carbon-loaded build keeps everything quiet at the speeds where lesser boards start to wash out. Less playful, more purposeful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarbon Slimerods 2.0 add a real torsional snap that you feel the moment the board comes onto edge, while the Tapered Quadratic Sidecut delivers different turn shapes from each end of the board for genuinely versatile carving. Double Impact Plates and Roll-In Construction make this a build that takes a season of hard riding without softening up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvanced and expert riders who want a directional board that genuinely rewards aggressive technique. Side-country and freeride enthusiasts will appreciate the setback shape and the powerful tail, and riders coming off a charger like a Mantra-style ski will recognize the family resemblance in how this board wants to be ridden. Intermediate riders looking to progress can size down and grow into the build, but this isn't a board for casual cruising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tapered Directional Extra Camber profile is what gives this board its bite. Camber underfoot stays positive for edge hold through turns and pop out of them, while the elevated tip and tail keep the board from catching on variable snow. The Tapered Quadratic Sidecut runs three radii (tighter at the entry, longer through the focus, tighter again at the exit) so a rider can pull off a quick lay-down carve or open the throttle for a long high-speed arc on the same run. The build inside is a Performance Core that combines Aspen, Bamboo, and Paulownia, and Carbon Slimerods 2.0 run the length of the board for torsional response while Slimewalls handle vibration damping. Carbon Array 3 distributes input across the binding zone, and Double Impact Plates protect the high-stress areas under each foot. Hybrid Glass over Roll-In Construction keeps the build quiet at speed. The base is Sintered with a Stone Ground finish that holds wax through long days, and Bio-Resin runs through the layup for a more sustainable build than a standard epoxy assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a stiff and demanding board built for committed riding. Less aggressive intermediates will likely prefer the Shadowban's softer flex and friendlier shape. The Wide variants run from 157W to 167W, which is generous, but riders who want a true freeride-only board with less park-friendly geometry might also look at the Algorhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard sizing applies, with both regular and Wide options. Riders sized 11 US in boots typically belong on the Wide. Drop a length if you'd rather keep the board lively in trees and tight terrain; bump up a length for stability at higher speeds and for riders deep into the upper end of the weight ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ride","offers":[{"title":"156","offer_id":51762053611816,"sku":"RD261856|156","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"157W","offer_id":51762053644584,"sku":"RD261856|157W","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"159","offer_id":51762053677352,"sku":"RD261856|159","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"160W","offer_id":51762053710120,"sku":"RD261856|160W","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"162","offer_id":51762053742888,"sku":"RD261856|162","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"163W","offer_id":51762053775656,"sku":"RD261856|163W","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"167W","offer_id":51762053808424,"sku":"RD261856|167W","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-ride-berzerker-snowboard-rd261856-1-rd261856.jpg?v=1778769540","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-ride-berzerker-snowboard-rd261856","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
