RIDE Kink

The Kink is a street machine. Now with an updated shape and some new features under the hood. Designed with a focus on predictability and durability for urban and park riding, the KINK is at home on handrails and jibs.

• TWIN EXTRA CAMBER: A true twin shape hybrid profile that has more camber than rocker.
• LINEAR QUADRATIC SIDECUT: A directional sidecut utilizing Quadratic curvature from the tip to the rear insert pack, then progressing into a linear section into the tail. This creates smooth catch-free turn initiation and powerful support through the turn exit without losing grip.
• SINTERED BASE: High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
• PERFORMANCE™ CORE: High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.
• SLIMEWALLS®: RIDE’s exclusive Slimewalls® are forgiving and ductile, absorbing impacts rather than defending against them. Just like your skate wheels, the urethane in Slimewalls® smoothes the interaction with the snow, wood or metal surfaces you may ride on. On top of all that, these babies are virtually indestructible, the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.
• ROLL-IN CONSTRUCTION: Unique 3D structure built around our urethane Slimewall® sidewalls. Designed to increase overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping, and reduce weight.
• BIAXIAL GLASS FIBERGLASS: 90° and 0° angles, fun and forgiving.
• IMPACT PLATES LAMINATES: Added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most. Offered in two levels, Single and Double.
• STANDARD TOP SHEET: Durable Urethane topsheet material with graphics only RIDE can bring you.
• CLEAVE EDGE™ STEEL: Nearly 50% more steel, delivers unmatched resistance to edge cracking and can be detuned to larger radii.
