2021/22 THE FREERIDE SPLIT
Tackles everything from powder to ice
The Freeride Split was developed to tackle any kind of snow and terrain you might find in the backcountry.
The combination of high-speed stability, maneuverability and catch-free properties has made the Freeride Split one of the most talked about splitboards of the past few years. Its long sidecut radius makes the splitboard calm and forgiving, while the rocker and reverse sidecut in nose and tail makes it float remarkably well in powder and remain catch free.
New for 2021/22:
The Freeride Split and All Mtn Split have a newly updated wood core. Along the edges, we use ash instead of poplar for improved durability. The rest of the core is a mix of poplar and paulownia, with the lighter wood in less critical areas. All in all, the splitboards are between 250g and 350g lighter depending on size and have improved strength along the edges compared to previous years.
Furberg Snowboards is introducing a splitboard revolution!
A tongue and groove on the 2019/20 Freeride Split eliminates movement between the board halves. The new splitboard assembles like a regular splitboard and rides like a snowboard.
Gone is the lack of response that splitboards have suffered from.

A custom ice scraper that can be used to easily clean both board halves and bindings from snow and ice comes along with the splitboard. While not needed most of the time, this is a great tool to have for the conditions where snow tends to stick to the board.
Long turning radius
It is standard to use a longer turning radius on a freeride ski than on a slalom ski in the skiing industry; however, Furberg Snowboards is the only brand to adapt the turning radius for freeride snowboards. A longer turning radius generates better stability at higher speeds and, more importantly, gives the boards a calmer and more forgiving behavior by distributing the edge pressure over the entire contact length.
Low Camber
The best compromise between the flotation of full rocker, responsiveness, and grip of camber.
Long Rocker and Reverse Sidecut radiuses
When a board is ridden flat on the snow, a long rocker transition will make the nose of the board impact irregularities with a low angle of incidence and slide over with little resistance. Many snowboard brands are aware of this, but only we have combined the rocker with a reverse sidecut in nose and tail to maintain this low angle of incidence when riding the board on edge.
The long transitions of the reverse sidecut make the board turn more effortlessly since the typical pressure points at the end of the effective edge do not exist. The overall result is a very catch-free and surfy board.
Long and high nose
Increases flotation and makes the board slide over irregularities in the snowpack with less resistance. The very last part of the nose also has a slightly steeper angle to make touring with our splitboards easier.
