Skill Level: Intermediate–Advanced
Riding Style: Freestyle / Park / Jumps
Camber Profile: Park V1 Camber
Flex: 6/10
Personality: Poppy & Progressive
The 2027 CAPiTA Dark Horse proves you don't have to spend premium money to ride a premium freestyle snowboard. Replacing the longtime Outsiders, the Dark Horse delivers explosive pop, dependable edge hold, and a playful personality that thrives everywhere from jump lines and rails to fast resort laps. Built for riders who split their time between the terrain park and the rest of the mountain, it's one of the best values in CAPiTA's lineup.
At its core is CAPiTA's proven Park V1 Camber profile, combining traditional camber through the center with subtle zero-camber transition zones before the contact points. This creates the snap and stability aggressive freestyle riders love while making the board smoother and more forgiving than full traditional camber. A True Twin shape keeps switch riding effortless, while the lightweight Dual Core™, Carbon + Aramid Boosters, and durable Superdrive™ Base deliver lively response without driving up the price.
Whether you're learning new tricks, boosting side hits, spinning park jumps, or carving groomers between park laps, the Dark Horse is designed to keep progression fun while delivering performance well beyond its price point.

Lib Tech Two Time for riders wanting Magne-Traction® and traditional camber.
GNU Scorp for another aggressive camber freestyle board with excellent edge hold.
