Capita Outsiders Snowboard Review

Hello and welcome to my Capita Outsiders snowboard review.

In this review I will take a look at the Outsiders as an aggressive-all-mountain-freestyle snowboard.

As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com I will give the Outsiders a score out of 100 (based on several factors) and see how it compares with other aggressive all-mountain-freestyle snowboards.

NOTE: The 2025 model was the last version of the Capita The Outsiders. However, it was replaced by the new Dark Horse. The Dark Horse is similar enough to be its replacement but there are differences - mostly in their construction materials and the price (Dark Horse is cheaper). The review below hasn't been updated beyond the 2025 model. But we got out on the '26 Dark Horse and you can check out our review for that, soon to be published on the site. If we've forgotten to come back here and add a link to that review, just search "Dark Horse" in the search box.

Specs

Who is the Outsiders Most Suited to?

The Outsiders is best suited to anyone looking for a twin that they can hit the park with ride switch, but still carve on, ride aggressively and bomb a bit. It's not ultra-aggressive, but definitely on the more aggressive side. 

Not great for powder, buttering or jibbing, but for everything else it has you covered, provided you ride it with good technique. But when you do it does reward you. 

Definitely not for beginner and even lower intermediate might struggle with it, given it doesn't like you skidding your turns. But any solid intermediate rider (and up of course) with good technique and for who it suits there style will like this board.

*based on a sample size of around 100 models that I’ve weighed in 2019, 2020, 2021 *& 2022 models. The Outsiders, typical of Capita, is significantly lighter than average. Felt pretty close to normal on snow. A little lighter than normal, but not as light as the actual weight would suggest. 

Powder

Nothing significant to speak of to test in, but a light dusting. 

But specs would suggest, and the general feeling from the board, that this one would be a back leg burner in deep powder. It's a centered twin and there's not real rocker to speak of. Going to be an effort to keep that nose up when it gets deep. 

Speed

It's nice and stable at speed. And I felt that even on the 154 I rode, which is smaller than ideal for me for this board. It's also got good glide as well, making it easier to traverse flat sections. 

Uneven Terrain

Crud: It's not a super smasher or crud, but it holds it's own smashing through and not too easy to buck around, despite how light it is. But certainly can get bucked around a little. It's not ideal for correcting when you do get thrown around, just because you don't want to be skidding on this board, but if you can stay quite aggressive, it's pretty good. 

Bumps: Felt like it was pretty good when weaving between bumps in trees etc and when going over those bumps it didn't hug the contours perfectly, but it wasn't bad either. 

Let’s Break up this text with a Video

Jumps

Overall good for jumps but not super exciting. 

Pop: Wouldn't go as far as to say epic pop - but decent pop. Took a bit of effort to extract, but you didn't have to throw everything into it or anything. When you did put everything into it, it did give back pretty well, but certainly not effortless pop. 

Approach: A good mixture of stable and nimble.

Landing: Solid. And would be even more so on the 158 for my weight. I was riding the 154 and it was still solid. But not so solid that it wasn't forgiving of bad landings. So, again a nice middle ground between those two factors. 

Side-hits: I preferred it on park jumps. Mostly because I like easy to access pop for sidehits and this board makes you work for the pop a bit. 

Small jumps/Big jumps: Medium to large. 

Switch

Almost as good as it gets in terms of being the same feeling riding both ways. Only thing is if you're switch game isn't great and you tend to skid your turns more in switch, then you're risking catching an edge. 

Spins

Really easy to swing the board around in a spin - and I would put  a lot of that down to weight. On snow it doesn't feel as light as you would think after weighing it, but in the air and spinning you feel that lightness. I over spun a couple of times because of it. 

Setting up and taking off switch is good too, so long as your switch game is relatively tight. For those small spins off little side hits etc, would be nice to have a little easier to access pop. 

Jibbing

You can jib with it, but if you're not a strong jibber, it may not give you heaps of confidence with setup or for anything like board slides. Felt like you could catch that edge. 50/50s were fine, but again, some easier access pop would go a long way to making it more jib friendly too. 

Butters

Takes a bit of muscle to butter this one. It's not super stiff in the tip and tail, but takes some effort, so not super easy to butter. Typically smaller boards are easier to butter, but even on the 154, it wasn't super buttery, but more aggressive boards like this one don't tend to be. 

The Outsiders is a board that should only be ridden by those with good technique, but those who do get rewarded with a board that carves really nicely, can be ridden aggressively and can handle various terrain as well as being good in the park - more for the jump line than the jib line though, IMO.
