Snowboard - Capita The Matriarch 158
Capita The Matriarch is a brand new freeride and all mountain snowboard developed together with freestyle legend Torstein Horgmo. The board combines the feel and creativity of the park with the stability, float and control required for big mountains, natural features and deep powder.
The Matriarch has a directional shape with a longer nose, a slightly shorter tail and 20.3 mm setback. The design provides better float in pow and a natural position when carving or riding in steep and varied terrain. At the same time, the balanced shape and smooth transition between contact points allow the board to retain a playful freestyle feel.
The traditional Alpine V4 Directional profile has clear camber through the center of the board and low and softly raised sections in the nose and tail. The result is explosive pop, stable edge grip and high precision without the board feeling dull and boring. The large radii in the nose and tail help The Matriarch to float like a powder board while flexing and reacting like a freestyle board.
Capita The Matriarch is hand-built in Austria at The Mothership™, where snowboard production is powered by 100% self-produced clean energy.
Flex: Directional 7/10
A stable and responsive flex with enough playfulness for freestyle-influenced riding. The flex provides good support at high speed, on landings and through varying snow conditions.
The scale is built on the principle that 1 is "Soft and playful" while 10 is "Hard and responsive".
Application: All Mountain Freeride
The Matriarch is designed for riders who want to be able to use the whole mountain. It delivers stability and edge grip on the piste, float and control in powder and the pop and agility needed for natural jumps and freestyle riding. A perfect board for those who want to combine creative lines with fast and powerful freeride.
Recommended level: Intermediate-Advanced
The Matriarch is best suited for an experienced rider who appreciates a responsive board and wants stability, precision and control in varying terrain.
Shape:
Directional: Longer nose and shorter tail with 20.3 mm setback and 4 mm taper. The shape provides better float in powder, a more stable ride at high speed and a natural position for freeriding.
Profile:
Traditional camber: Alpine V4 Directional
The Alpine V4 profile has a higher traditional camber through the center section of the board and low, gentle rises in the nose and tail. The slightly raised contact points and large radii at the ends of the board create a combination of precise edge grip, explosive pop and good float in deep snow.
Construction:
Transcend Core™:
A new, lightweight and responsive wood core with poplar, paulownia and bamboo. The construction provides a lively feel, low weight and stability throughout the board.
Fairmat™ Carbon Amplifiers:
Two 20mm wide carbon fiber reinforcements that provide extra power, response and control without making the board unnecessarily heavy or stiff.
Hybrid Supercarbon™ Holysheet™ TRI/TRI:
Triaxial glass fiber with integrated carbon fiber additives. Provides high precision, strength and response with lower weight.
Magic Bean™ Resin:
A high-strength, plant-based resin that contributes to a lightweight, durable and responsive construction.
PLT™ Topsheet Technology:
A manufacturing method where the topsheet is applied after the snowboard has been pressed. It provides a clean finish and reduces the need for solvents and lacquers.
Hyperdrive™ ADV XT Base:
A fast and durable premium base that absorbs a lot of wax and is designed to maintain high speed in varying snow conditions.
