Which splitboard should I buy?

The Choosing the right Splitboards is comparable to the Choosing the right snowboard . Factors such as Weight , Can , Style and preferred terrain must be taken into account. The fundamental difference between a Standard Snowboard and a Splitboard is the following, a Splitboard is divisible along the middle and thus enables the ascent into impassable terrain like with touring skis. You use the both halves as skis and brings the skins so that you can does not slip when climbing . Once you reach the top, you take them off again, puts the two halves together and makes ready for the descent . For most splitboarders, the descent after the ascent is the be-all and end-all... a Splitboard must work perfectly in powder and should also have its strengths there, the decisive factors for this are the profile and shape of the splitboard.

What splitboard profile variants and shapes are there?

Many of the splitboard beginners are very fast and safe in the pow and draw their lines through the mostly untracked powder snow, but often with little to no experience in climbing . The Climbing qualities of a splitboard play an important role for splitboard beginners as well as for advanced and pro riders. The Board profile is an important factor that is extremely important both when climbing and when descending and can of course make all the difference.

Videos checked? I will briefly summarize again what things Buying your new splitboard important are or what you want to Remember to purchase your splitboard equipment should and what you special attention have to give. A splitboard must work perfectly in powder , and the Directional Shape . Most splitboards have this directional shape. The binding position is further back. This puts more weight on the tail. The nose is a little longer, which leads to significantly more lift and you get a better surfing feeling when shredding in the backcountry . A splitboard is Flex always a little harder . This gives you a better torsional rigidity . This brings a better control and support when climbing and descending . Your Splitboard should have a similar length as your normal snowboard . The ideal length for a snowboard or splitboard should be between chin and nose lie. The more longer you splitboard choose, the more better buoyancy in snow When descending and ascending, a longer board will bring you more surface area for the skin , a longer edge and therefore a better and safer grip for your splitboard. All the requirements for a perfect splitboard adventure are fulfilled by splitboards such as the Jones Frontier Split , the Jones Mind ExpanderSplit or that Jones Dream Weaver Split for women .

Ultimately, both manufacturers only offer Cutting-edge technology used and each system has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the choice between Spark R&D and Karakoram often from personal preferences The system from Spark R&D is currently available at Moreboards at the Nitro Vertical . The Nitro Vertical is the Arc binding from Spark R&D, upgraded with Nitro straps and padded base plate.

Spark R&D Bindings count due to technical features and a fantastic value for money one of the most popular on the market. For a Spark R&D binding and its interface, the extremely light weight and the great user-friendliness characteristic . The integrated T1 Tesla system enables a easy and quick switching from Tour to Ride mode . When Spark R&D launched the first bindings a few years ago, the Spark R&D's mounting system is revolutionary and probably motivated long-established brands such as Karakoram or Voilé to work even faster and more efficiently on possible improvements to their own systems. The Spark R&D technology was an improved version of the Voilé Systems , but significantly lighter in weight and easier to use. The Spark R&D pucks, which only fit your own bindings, allow you to adjust your stance individually. Spark R&D fits all splitboards with regular 2x4 inserts.

Slpitboard skins

Splitboard skins are long strips of fabric . They are attached to the Bottom of the board using glue or clips attached. Splitboard skins are essential for climbing a mountain. After the ascent, you remove the skins from the splitboard and pack them again neatly in your backpack . The Splitboard can now be used again after removing the skins built together will be, now the Switch binding from Hike to Ride and one hopefully thrilling powder descent nothing stands in the way...

When choosing skins, it is important to pay attention to the material, length and width. Skins can be made of Materials such as nylon (normally very inexpensive, durable but less slippery), Mohair wool (good sliding properties, light but shorter lifespan) or Mixed fur (good for grip, gliding, weight, durability and price/performance). After you have found the right material, it is time, if necessary, to Length and width of the skin to match the size of your board . Most skins have a Universal width of about 140 mm , but some manufacturers also offer different widths. If this is the case, make sure to use as much of your Board base to cover more grip and traction when climbing to get.

We at MOREBOARDS naturally work with Skins from Jones and Kohla . Jones offers pre-cut skins that are tailored to their splitboards fit . Kohla are Trim to Fit skins that are in different sizes Tobe offered. Kohla skins must be cut to fit the respective splitboard be that Cutting is not particularly difficult . After you have attached the skin to your snowboard, you simply cut it with the associated trimming tool to. That's it...
