Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target freeride terrain, while the United Shapes Covert Splitboard leans more backcountry/splitboard, while the United Shapes Horizon leans more freestyle/all mountain. 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 Covert Splitboard is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range. At $699 vs $999 MSRP, the United Shapes Horizon is the more budget-friendly option.
