Aluflex Splitboard

Aluflex includes splitboards in the Shapers Alpins range. The attraction is direct contact with the workshop and an unusually broad geometry selection. The ten tabulated sizes are not ten new annual models; they provide reference points for a specific offer and suitable width.

Is the Aluflex Splitboard right for your tours?

A custom board makes sense when you can describe your requirements or want help doing so. Give the workshop your weight with touring pack, actual boot sole length, stance and a familiar reference board. Add concrete situations: where do you lack float, when do edge changes require effort, how often do you traverse firm snow? Those answers are more useful than asking for the best board for everything. Agree on shape, profile, flex, hardware and full package contents together before the build.

What matters on the skin track?

The whole setup matters on the skin track. A board can pivot easily downhill and still need lateral support from boots and bindings. Keep a calm stride and assess edge loading on traverses. A useful balance point matters more for repositioning than weight alone. In deep snow the nose should clear the track; tight kick turns need room for the actual length. Include slow track changes and firm passages in the comparison. An impressive downhill outline alone does not answer that question.

How do you choose length, width and stance?

Confirmed sizes are 148, 156, 158, 160, 162, 164, 164W, 166, 170, 174 cm. Start with the manufacturer’s rider-weight range where specified for this version, then check actual boot width at your chosen stance. Height alone is not a reliable sizing method. Between two suitable lengths, the shorter can be easier to move; extra area may help with higher weight or deeper snow. This is not a fixed rule. Distinguish overall length, effective edge and width underfoot. Additional equipment and a heavy pack also change the load.

How should boots, bindings and skins fit?

Our Gear Guide recommends matching boots and bindings together. Lateral support matters in the changing conditions often found in the Alps. Boots should hold your heel, bindings must fit the actual outer sole, and highbacks should suit your weight and riding. Check overhang at your own binding angles; a wide waist alone does not guarantee a good fit. Practise the complete transition at home before doing it with cold fingers on tour. For skins, length, trimming and nose and tail fittings must match. A shared brand name does not mean a skin fits every outline.

Our Splitboard Gear Guide explains the setup relationships.

Which of our test experiences help you choose?

We have not yet tested the Aluflex Splitboard ourselves. This advice uses manufacturer data and our Gear Guide; we do not assign our own riding scores to this version.

For a demo, use the same boots and a familiar stance. Try slow turns, a firm section and transitions as well as the best powder slope. After a longer climb, it is easier to tell whether the size remains manageable. Manufacturer claims about lightness, grip and damping are starting points for that comparison, not editorial measurements.

What has changed since 25/26 or earlier models?

For Aluflex Snowboards, the individual commission is the reference. Inclusion in the 26/27 guide does not claim a newly launched annual series. Earlier boards serve as references; construction, dimensions and hardware are agreed individually.

What is included in the price and what else do you need?

The checked manufacturer page does not publish a confirmed board price. Request a specific offer for size, build and hardware. We do not invent a monetary value.

Which alternatives are worth comparing?

Use the Gear Guide to compare an appropriately sized all-mountain reference with a powder alternative. For custom offers, your existing board is also an important reference: what works and what would you like to change on tour?

Which size and width suit me?

Confirmed sizes are 148, 156, 158, 160, 162, 164, 164W, 166, 170, 174 cm.

What needs to match in the setup?

Our Gear Guide recommends matching boots and bindings together. Lateral support matters in the changing conditions often found in the Alps. Boots should hold your heel, bindings must fit the actual outer sole, and highbacks should suit your weight and riding. Check overhang at your own binding angles; a wide waist alone does not guarantee a good fit. Practise the complete transition at home before doing it with cold fingers on tour.

How does it differ from the earlier version?

For Aluflex Snowboards, the individual commission is the reference. Inclusion in the 26/27 guide does not claim a newly launched annual series. Earlier boards serve as references; construction, dimensions and hardware are agreed individually.

Which sizes and dimensions does the manufacturer list?

Confirmed sizes: 148, 156, 158, 160, 162, 164, 164W, 166, 170, 174 cm. Figures are manufacturer data rather than our measurements. Missing or conflicting entries are not filled with estimates. Manufacturer flex and editorial riding scores are different scales.

Where do the data, images and test reports come from?

Aluflex Splitboard – manufacturer offer. Checked 19 October 2026. Images and dimensions come from the linked current manufacturer offer. These are manufacturer views, not evidence of our own riding test. The illustration shows the workshop, manufacturer context or a custom reference.
