Splitboard Test 20-21 - Splitboarding Selection

Splitboard Test and Splitboarding Editors Selection 2020/21: We have taken the most interesting innovations of the 20-21 season and tested them for you on downhill and uphill performance. Due to the pandemic we were not able to test all splitboards the way we normally do, namely the whole season until spring. Nevertheless we can show good results because the boards were tested in up to 30 cm of fresh snow, ploughed up terrain and on hard slopes, in ascent and descent.

Every year, more splitboards appear on the market. However, the most important thing for using a splitboard in alpine terrain is that the boards can do everything. If possible, the optimal splitboard should be a Swiss army knife. Because who can afford to buy his own Splitboard Quiver?

In our splitboard test we describe the characteristics of splitboards in terms of freestyle, all-mountain, powder and speed. The evaluation while riding refers to agility and edge hold. In the ascent the weight and the safety when traversing is crucial. Furthermore, the finishing and also the sustainability of the boards are an important benchmark for us. This can be particularly long durability, very sustainable production, a favorable production location or similar.

Since we can’t offer Split & Relax in the traditional way this year, take your time and come to the Sit & Relax, our SPLIT & RELAX - Corona Edition (the link for registration is at the bottom of the page). Here you have the opportunity to get to know the people behind the brands and ask questions that are burning on your mind.

Please keep in mind that we test as objectively as possible, but we also have our preferences regarding shapes or ride or ascent performance. Our testers are, as always, between 73 and 80 kg in weight. In the test we use bindings from Spark R&D and Plum, shoes from Deeluxe and skins from Kohla. This means that our test setup is largely identical in terms of bindings, boots and skins.

Remember, maybe splitboarding is the only way to enjoy snowboarding this year.

So now we don’t want to keep on torturing you, but present the latest best splitboards that have won our Splitboarding Selection 20-21. Have fun reading.

This winter, unfortunately, there is no possibility to test together on the Split&Relax, but nevertheless we offer you the possibility to get in touch with the hottest brands directly: Registration SIT & RELAX - Corona Edition
