Why buy a Radical splitboard?

Splitboarding is more than just a trend – it’s a real passion. It allows snowboarders to experience untouched slopes and first-class deep snow conditions. In this article, you’ll find out why the Radical splitboard is the ideal choice for splitboarders and sets itself apart from other boards.

Why buy a Radical splitboard?

At Radical, we are convinced that we develop the best material. Our boards stand for quality, innovation and sustainability.

The history of Radical – a brand with passion

Radical is one of the oldest snowboard brands in Europe and has made a significant contribution to making snowboarding what it is today. About our history.

Radical has also long since made a name for itself in the splitboarding scene. With a clear vision of developing the ultimate splitboard, the brand stands for the highest quality and innovation. The team behind Radical is made up of passionate mountain sports enthusiasts and understands exactly what splitboarders need to be safe and efficient in the backcountry. Their commitment to splitboarding is reflected not only in their products, but also in the constant development of their designs and technologies.

Choice of materials – carbon, Kevlar and racing surface for ultimate performance

A Radical splitboard is not just another snowboard, but a highly developed piece of sports equipment based on the latest technology. The choice of material plays a central role in this:

• Carbon: A lightweight but incredibly strong material that significantly increases both performance and longevity (in terms of sustainability). It provides the necessary stiffness and a high restoring force without making the board unnecessarily heavy. Thanks to our special construction, the tension of flex and torsion is maintained ten times longer.
• Kevlar: We use Kevlar directly as the first layer over the base. This construction not only offers improved damping in the event of micro-vibrations, but is also of particular interest to splitboarders: The indestructible Kevlar thread, which is also used in bulletproof vests, protects the board from stone damage. So if the board should hit a stone, the base will be damaged but the wood core will remain intact.
• Racing surface: The use of high-quality racing surfaces ensures excellent gliding properties and optimizes performance in all snow conditions. The racing surface is also characterized by its high density, which makes it significantly harder and more resistant to scratches from stones than conventional surfaces.

The combination of these materials ensures that the Radical splitboard is not only ultra-light, but also exceptionally durable and robust. It will accompany you for many years and is ideally equipped for the most demanding tours.

State-of-the-art shapes and construction – for maximum off-road performance

Another decisive advantage of the Radical splitboard is its modern shape and technical features. Radical always moves with the times and develops boards that are specially designed for splitboarding and the demands of the backcountry. These include

• Center clips: We are the only splitboard brand to use center clips in the middle of the board. They prevent movement of the two halves when riding, especially for taller people with a wide stance. This keeps the splitboard stable and behaves like a solid snowboard.

Ski Holes: Ski Holes are innovative attachment points that make mounting the climbing skins much easier. With Ski Holes, the skins can be easily attached to the board, even when assembled. This saves time and ensures uncomplicated handling.

Sustainability?

Sustainability is important to us. Our products are manufactured using a state-of-the-art carbon-kevlar sandwich construction. This advanced technology gives our products exceptional riding characteristics and makes them particularly durable.

Carbon in particular is undoubtedly not the most sustainable material. Whether in aviation, the automotive industry or the sports sector – carbon is omnipresent wherever maximum resilience with minimum weight is required. However, the answer to these challenges is not to throw it away, but to use it for a long time.
Our range of services includes the professional repair of all parts made of composite materials such as carbon, fiberglass, Kevlar, flax, etc.

Ski touring is or can also be sustainable. Especially when Swiss ski tickets and subscriptions will be up to five percent more expensive in 2026.
Our tours are designed to protect nature and enjoy it responsibly. We use environmentally friendly practices and treat the mountains with respect. All our tours are public transport friendly. More information under: Tips from the experts.
