Ride 2019 Machete GT Snowboard

A modern freestyle deck with a stiffer flex to provide stability on big landings at high speeds, the Ride Machete GT is jam packed with tech to deliver a ridiculously fun, smooth and poppy ride ideally suited to hard charging riders. With its combination of snappy underfoot camber and Ride s Slimewalls® technology for dampness and durability, the Machete GT is an absolute blast to ride. Finished with extra beefy steel edges and a high-end sintered base, the Ride Machete GT Snowboard gives you the chops you need to make mince meat of the entire mountain.

Rocker Type

Twin Hybrid Rocker – A true twin shape hybrid profile that has more rocker than camber.

Flex

Response – Medium

Shape

Quadratic Sidecut – Blending of three radii to improve turn initiation/exit while providing the best grip possible. This design is uniquely formulated for each model based on its shape and riding style.

Core

Performance™ Core – High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.

Laminates

Carbon Array™ 5 – This power distribution technology provides total board control in every stance location. Widespread carbon stringers placed at the binding zone gather input from any stance width and all pressure angles. Rider input is then channeled to the opposing contact point for maximum board control.

Hybrid Glass – Triaxial on top, biaxial on base; balanced torsional flex and stiffness for better response with speed.

Double Impact Plates – Added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most.

Sidewalls

Roll-In Slimewall® – Unique 3D structure built around the urethane Slimewall® sidewalls. Designed to increase overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping, and reduce weight.

Carbon Slimewalls® – This totally unique sidewall combines layers of Slimewalls® material and carbon strategically placed at the inserts out to the contact points in the tip and tail on a twin, and the back inserts to the contact points in the tail on a directional board. This exclusive tech enhances the charging rider's experience as Ride has moved the carbon pop construction to the outside edge for better stability and enhanced response.

Base

Sintered 4000 – High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.

Edges

Cleave Edge™ Steel – Nearly 50% more steel, delivers unmatched resistance to edge cracking and can be detuned to larger radii. Ride's Austrian-made steel wraps the entire perimeter of your board for the best delam protection around.

Topsheet

Standard Topsheet – Durable urethane topsheet material with graphics only RIDE can bring you.
