United Shapes Cadet vs United Shapes Horizon

How they compare

Both boards are designed for freestyle and freeride and all mountain riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The United Shapes Cadet is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range. At $699 vs $799 MSRP, the United Shapes Horizon is the more budget-friendly option.
