Rival Snowboard

Twin Tips, as their name suggests, are identical in both the tip and tail. The stance reference position is centred in the middle of the board, creating a fully balanced snowboard. Twins perform the same both forwards and backwards. The balanced shape gives the rider more control when spinning.

Midbite steps a section of the sidecut inward between the insert packs. This disruption of the sidecut between the bindings creates a narrower waist width, delivering a quick edge-to-edge response. Under the feet, the board is wider, improving float and stability in the pow and when cruising around.

Blunting the tips of a board removes excess weight from the extremities. This reduced weight lowers the board's swing weight, giving more control when spinning and helps keep the edge engaged through the carve.
