The Ride Concept UL Snowboard is literally steeped in premium features, offering you premium performance and premium style. Infinite possibilities abound as Ride’s entirely new, ultra-light UL techs and Silencer 7 Tuned CoreTM make their debut with the premium-level Ride Concept UL. How many times can we say premium?! Designed for the mountain master who takes it all in, this impeccable Ride hangs with the lightest board out there, but without the light board chatter and super board price tag. Seriously, if you’re not already in love with the premium Ride Concept UL we might just marry it ourselves.

"Not to be a bummer, but this ain't ultralight. I hate looking at ad copy from a manufacturer, where everything references how light a product is, but they never get around to telling you what it actually weighs. Just an average will do, but we can't even get that. Anyway, I ordered the 161 as soon a …"  Read Full Review »

"KingsX,



Better not try to buy a mountain bike if you think it's weird to pay a lot more for less weight.
