Ride Deadbolt Zonal Snowboard Boots - Men'sby Ride

Product Info

Not all double Boa's are equal. The RIDE Deadbolt takes the platform of snowboarding's best selling Lasso and provides a different take on the dual boa lacing system. The Deadbolt uses the Focus Boa® or Boa® Zonal fit approach. This is ideal for the rider who wants the ability to adjust pressure differently between the upper cuff and lower forefoot. This will allow you to improve foothold and dial in the volume fit aspect of the boot. This is also ideal for the rider who has an athletic calf and narrower forefoot or conversely and wider forefoot and narrower calf. This will also allow for a little more flexion in the articulated cuff. Other than that the only other difference between the Deadbolt and the Lasso are the soles. The Deadbolt has an upgraded Michelin® sole that will improve grip on those icy days or if you are someone who likes to bootpack. If you're a RIDE fit and have been looking for an upgrade then you might want to take a good luck at the Deadbolt.

Type of Terrain: All Mountain

Ability Level: Intermediate, Advanced

We recommend this for:

The RIDE Deadbolt is ideal for the solid intermediate rider or better looking for higher speeds and more aggressive lines.

Technical Features

Intermediate plus boots are ideal for the rider who needs more control and support whether you are an all-mountain cruiser or the hard charger who likes a little flex and feel from out of their boot.

Medium/stiff flexing boots are great for the increased speeds of blue runs and exploring off trail. They will have little limits as you push max speeds or the steepest of terrain, but will get the job done for the average all-mountain rider who is still exploring all the mountain has to offer.

BOA® Zonal Fit System

A cable and reel based lacing system that creates even tension and easy lacing operation. Features low-friction guides for even tightening. BOA® Coiler works to automatically retracts lace slack. Impact resistant, durable, and performance driven, the H4 BOA® Dial ejects on severe impact and is easily re-inserted into the boot. The H4 dial controls the upper shell lacing, while the M3 dial controls the lower shell lacing. This allows for different tension on the upper cuff and lower forefoot so you can apply the correct pressure everywhere without cutting off blood flow.

BOA® TX3 Lace

BOA®’s first textile lace in the snowboarding category, TX3 is constructed from recycled PET with a structural core. The TX3 BOA® Lace is a flexible, low-friction textile lace that offers a more traditional flex pattern, but the superior closure of a BOA® system.

Intuition® Support Liner

Enhanced high-density foam offers supportive performance with maintained comfort with improved heat molding capability.

Black Gold™ Liner Mesh

This bamboo charcoal infused material naturally mitigates odors and moisture. Other benefits include improved temperature regulation and circulatory function.

Black Last

A performance specific design with tailored to a men’s fit. 

Michelin® Hybrid Summit Sole

This sole is a durable blend of recycled premium Michelin® rubber and phylon that makes for a super lightweight performance sole and superior traction.

In2grated™

In2grated™ Construction creates the lightest weight, shortest length performance boots on the market, hands down. The liner is factory molded inside the shell to create the most efficient "net fit", leading to less pack out for better overall comfort.

Fitting Your Boots

– To properly assess the fit of any boot you must lace or buckle it completely. The boot will feel small until you do this because your toes will be pushed to the front until laced or buckled. Also, keep in mind all boot liners stretch out and get bigger.

– First, lace or buckle the boot loosely. Next, flex into the boot to drive your heel into the heel pocket. Doing this makes room for your toes. Lastly, finish lacing or buckling the boot in a flexed position.

– Be sure to wear the boots for at least 10 minutes fully laced or buckled before making a determination. Remember these boots are not made for walking, keep your knees slightly bent and flexed forward into riding position. When doing this your heels should be pushed into the back of the boot and your toes should be comfortable.

– You should wear the thinnest sock you are comfortable with. Blood flow is the number one thing that keeps your feet warm. Adding more material around your feet with thicker socks increases the chances of reducing blood flow.

– To help your foot sit properly in your boot, you may consider an aftermarket footbed like Superfeet® or Sidas®. A footbed with arch support, not just cushion, helps align your foot in the shell and alleviates pressure points. Footbeds should be sized to your arch height and length, not your shoe size.

– Spend some time choosing your boots, they are the most important piece of your gear!
