CAPiTA Snowboards feature a unique design. Therefore, we would like to point out that the graphic on the board depends on its size. This means that for different board lengths, there may be different graphic patterns, each specifically designed for the particular model and size. Unfortunately, there is no option to choose the graphic when purchasing – the design is assigned based on the board’s size, and each one has been created to perfectly complement the board’s proportions.
Dark Horse is the new, budget-friendly version of the team-favorite model – the Outsiders – that excels on park jumps, bump runs, and freestyle features. Stripped down to the essential technical components, it’s available in a wide range of sizes – both standard and Wide.
Dark Horse uses its dynamic construction to deliver maximum power and performance. A budget-friendly build for the progressive park and resort rider who loves hitting features and transitions.
Dark Horse maximizes the power potential of a light and energetic board in an affordable construction. It delivers the pop and power that advanced freestylers expect, thanks to the proven combination of the Dual Core™ and Special Blend Fiberglass laminate, further reinforced by carbon inserts running the full length of the board – 2 x 30 mm Carbon Aramid Boosters.
Dark Horse is a great new entry-level board in the CAPiTA lineup. It’s very agile, super fun to ride, and above all – easy to control, forgiving of mistakes, and capable of great things. Dark Horse features a classic camber profile with an extended contact zone that ends 4 cm before the end of the effective edge, giving the rider significantly more control, responsiveness, and stability. The board is equipped with a strong poplar and beech core – DUAL CORE™ for more power, better pop, and durability.
RIDER TYPE: PARK / RESORT
RIDER LEVEL: Beginner / Intermediate
FLEX: 6/10
BOARD SHAPE: TRUE TWIN
PROFILE: CAMBER
PARK V1 PROFILE
The PARK V1 camber configuration zeroes out the traditional camber 4 cm before the end of the sidecut. Small flat camber sections provide more controlled riding while maintaining the board’s response and power of traditional camber.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
CORE: DUAL CORE™
Lightweight and lively poplar core combined with beech for added power and durability.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
2 x 30mm CARBON ARAMID BOOSTERS – Carbon strips running the full length of the board – enhance power and response while remaining lightweight. Aramid additives improve vibration absorption and board durability.
FIBERGLASS: SPECIAL BLEND FIBERGLASS
Biax / Biax – an optimal fiberglass blend, lighter than traditional materials.
RESIN: MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN
Capita uses eco-friendly resin in all boards, produced with zero waste and no greenhouse gas emissions. It also provides high performance with reduced heat requirements – meaning less energy used in the snowboard production process. This allows the core to be lighter while maintaining the same board characteristics. That’s why CAPiTA boards are among the lightest on the market!
BASE: SUPERDRIVE™ BASE
This is a new base technology that combines the best of both worlds – the speed and hardness of sintered bases and the durability of extruded ones. If you don’t have time for frequent base maintenance, this board is for you.
EDGES: 360 Degree HRC48 Steel Edges
SIDECUT: RADIAL – An edge shape based on a single-radius arc, allowing the rider to start and end a turn on the same curve. Thanks to this uniform arc, the board is more predictable, increasing rider confidence, smoothly flowing throughout turns, and easy to control. Moreover, classic radial is efficient in terms of energy and performance. A well-designed sidecut radius supports the rider’s natural movement, enabling dynamic and smooth maneuvers. Radial construction is appreciated for its fluidity, ease of handling, and versatility, making it a popular choice among riders of different skill levels and riding preferences.
SIDEWALL: Full ABS1000 Sidewalls
INSERTS: Stainless Steel 4 x 2 Inserts
MADE IN AUSTRIA! – Capita designs and builds its boards in its own factory, which is not common in the industry. This gives them access to top technologies for producing their boards.
CAPiTA MFG – The Mothership is an example of how modern manufacturing should work: ZERO CO2 emissions, renewable energy-powered, and 98% of materials sourced from nearby regions, reducing the pollution caused by transportation. The factory even has its own slope for testing new innovations!
