Capita Dark Horse Wide 2026 – a powerful freestyle and park snowboard with a wider platform
The Capita Dark Horse Wide 2026 is designed for riders who demand maximum pop, stability and durability from their park and freestyle boards, but also need a wider frame for larger boots. The Dark Horse is the performance workhorse of the Capita park line, combining aggressive response, modern construction and top-notch materials. The Wide version offers more edge grip and confidence without compromising speed or control.
The Dark Horse is made for riders who ride hard and purposeful in the park. It excels on big jumps, technical rails and fast lines where board stability and predictability are critical. The wider frame gives more space for boots and reduces the risk of boot out, allowing for deeper edges and a more confident ride even at higher speeds.
The board profile is a modern camber-based construction that delivers explosive pop, precise edge hold and maximum response. This profile makes the Dark Horse a very lively and responsive board that rewards active and technical riding styles. It is not soft or forgiving, but intended for riders who want complete control in every situation.
At the heart of the Dark Horse Wide is Capitan's ultra-light and energetic core construction, designed to provide maximum power return and durability in park riding. The core makes the board snappy and explosive in your efforts, while maintaining a stable feel on descents and at high speeds.
The structure is reinforced with carbon fiber reinforcements that increase longitudinal strength and improve the board's responsiveness. These reinforcements make the Dark Horse especially effective on jumps and fast approaches, where precise power transfer and confidence in the board's performance are required.
The base uses Capitan's fast sintered base, which provides excellent glide in all park and resort conditions. The base withstands heavy use and maintains its speed even over a long season, making the Dark Horse a reliable choice for the active skier.
The Capita Dark Horse Wide has a medium to stiff flex, making it a stable and high-performance board that doesn't overexert itself at high speeds or on big descents, while still offering enough flex for freestyle riding and creative park riding.
The Capita Dark Horse Wide 2026 is the perfect choice for riders looking for a premium park and freestyle board in a wider format. It's built to withstand heavy use and deliver maximum performance in demanding situations.

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.
