Capita Dark Horse 2026 – a high-performance freestyle and park snowboard for the demanding rider
The Capita Dark Horse 2026 is a top-level freestyle snowboard for riders who ride hard in the park and demand maximum precision, pop and durability from their equipment. The Dark Horse is the core of the Capita park collection, designed for technical and aggressive riding where control, stability and predictability are crucial. This board is not a compromise, but a pure performance tool for advanced and experienced riders.
The Dark Horse is built for park riding, but it also excels in fast resort riding. It offers confidence on big jumps, stability on hard descents, and precise feel in technical rail and jib conditions. The twin shape makes the board balanced for switch riding and allows for creative freestyle riding without limitations.
The board profile is based on a traditional camber construction that provides strong edge grip, explosive pop and instant response. This profile makes the Dark Horse a very lively and responsive board that reacts sensitively to the rider's movements and rewards an active riding style. The camber profile also makes jump approaches and descents confident and controlled.
At the heart of the Dark Horse is Capitan's ultra-light and energetic core construction, designed to withstand hard park use. The core provides excellent energy return during hard efforts and maintains a solid feel season after season. This makes the board a reliable tool for the rider who rides a lot and demands longevity from their equipment.
The structure is reinforced with carbon fiber reinforcements that increase longitudinal strength and improve the board's responsiveness at high speeds. These reinforcements make the Dark Horse especially stable on big jumps and fast-paced park lines where there is no room for error.
The Dark Horse features a fast sintered sole that provides excellent glide in all park and resort conditions. The sole withstands the rigors of park riding and maintains its performance over a long season.
The Capita Dark Horse has a medium to stiff flex, making it a stable and powerful board for aggressive freestyle riding. It's unforgiving for beginners, but offers advanced riders full control and performance in demanding situations.
The Capita Dark Horse 2026 is designed for the rider who wants a top-of-the-line park and freestyle board without compromise. It's built to withstand heavy use and provide maximum response, stability and pop in all park conditions.

What should you consider when choosing snowboard boots?
A few questions to consider before buying snowboard boots
What is the difference between Boa tightening and traditional laces?
Boa
- Tightening is done quickly by turning the roller
- Can be adjusted even with gloves on
- Provides even tightening across the entire shoe area
- Some models have double Boa (separate upper and lower adjustment)
Traditional ribbons
- A cheaper option
- Gives the user maximum adjustability
- Many find the laces more flexible and have a more natural feel
In short: Boa = fast and effortless. Laces = precise and customizable.
What is the flex of a snowboard boot and how do I choose it?
The hardness of a shoe tells you how stiff or soft the shoe is when moving.
Soft (1–4) Beginner, park - Easy turns, comfortable and forgiving
Medium (5–7) All levels - Versatile all-mountain
Hard (8–10) Advanced, freeride - Sturdy at high speeds and on slopes
What is the difference between Deeluxe and Vans snowboard boots?
Deeluxe
- Known for its technical fit and ultra-precise heel hold
- Lots of options in different flex classes
- Heat-moldable liners in many models
- Especially popular in the European market and among professionals
Vans
- Soft and comfortable fit from the start
- Excellent shock absorption (Vans Waffle soles)
- Skate-style feel, a favorite of many due to its comfort
- Especially suitable for park and all-mountain content
In brief:
Deeluxe = technical fit & performance.
Vans = comfort & a softer skate-style feel.
How do I choose the right size?
The size of snowboard boots may differ from normal sneakers. Please note:
- The toes should lightly touch the tip of the shoe, but without pain.
- The heel should remain stationary during turns (no lift)
- Heat-moldable liner adapts to wear
- We recommend following the size chart of each manufacturer (Deeluxe, Vans, etc.)
How warm are snowboard boots?
All snowboard boots are designed for winter use, but differences arise:
- About the insulation of the inner shoe
- About the structure of the base
- About breathability
If you get cold easily, choose a model with:
- thick inner shoe
- thermoformable lining
- EVA sole material
Can I wear snowboard boots while walking?
Yes, but they are not designed for long walks.
Snowboard boots provide support and traction in the snow, but are more cumbersome than winter boots.
How do snowboard boots shape up during use?
Most shoes soften and shape over a few days of use.
Heat-moldable liners can be shaped in the store (in a heat oven), which immediately improves the fit.
Do all snowboard boots fit all bindings?
Generally yes.
It is important to choose:
- Compatible shoe size and binding size
- Correct stiffness that matches the landing style
How do you care for snowboard boots?
- Dry at room temperature (not on a radiator)
- Check the laces or Boa system regularly
- Remove the liner to dry.
- Avoid filling the shoe with water.
Do snowboard boots have to be the same size as street shoes?
Not always.
Many models recommend going a half size or a full size smaller than normal.
For example:
- Vans: often true-to-size
- Deeluxe: often slightly smaller and more precisely fitted
Always check the manufacturer's table.
