United Shapes Cadet Snowboard 2021
Model Info
Product Info
The Cadet was the first board released by United Shapes back in 2014. Its status as an instant classic launched the brand on to produce more rad shapes that went on to have their own cult followings, but the Cadet remains their flagship model to this day. And there's good reason for it. The Cadet is one of those rare boards that really does do it all. It's composed and stable at high speeds, and lively and poppy at low speeds, making it a ton of fun for experts and intermediates alike. This freeride stick is nimble and precise edge to edge and more than ready to handle anything you can throw at it.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice. Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction.

Flex Rating:
Medium
More
Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
