The 2020 Capita Asymulator Snowboard Review

By Angrysnowboarder @angrysnowboard · On August 15, 2019

Board: Capita Asymulator

Size: 154

Camber Option: Resort V1 Profile. Traditional camber past the insert pack, flat, and then a small rocker zone right before the upkick in the tips.

Bindings: K2 Indy

Stance: 21.5 Wide 15 Negative 12 Goofy

Boots: K2 Thraxis Size 10

My Weight: 195lbs

Resort: Copper Mountain

Conditions: Sunny blue skies, warmer spring temps, chunder snow, mounds of chunder snow, and mashed potato snow.

Flex: The overall flex of this board comes in at a middle of the road. What you get is a softer sweet spot way out in the tips where the flat section meets the rocker, then it stiffens up through the insert packs, and gets softer between the feet. There’s a fair amount of torsional flex which makes this board playful.

Stability: This board is moderately stable. In really rutted out terrain you can feel the board bending and flexing with every contour. There’s some chatter out in the tips that does resonate back under foot.

Ollies: This board has some solid snap. The camber profile is easy to load up and when the center zone is activated it turns the flat and rocker zones into a spring so the board gets insane pop. This board is meant for boosting.

Pop On Jumps: Don’t sweat it, just send it. This board will pop off any lip with ease.

Butterability: You do need to get your weight outside the camber zone to activate this boards sweet spot. It will lock in nicely but there’s a little bit of rebound and fight to it. Be prepared to work just a little bit.

Jibbing: This board is at home on jibs. It locks into nose and tail presses with ease. Getting sideways the camber section hugs a rail perfectly.

Carving: The asym sidecut is so dialed. You’ll notice right away that the heel edge grips and lets you aggressively rip a carve. Short quick turns or long drawn out ones this board never falters. It’s a deck designed for laying trenches when you want to or being a bit more mellow if you have to be.

Rider in Mind: All mountain freestyle guy that wants an asymmetrical deck.

Personal Thoughts: It’s the Spring Break Twin with a different shape. That’s it. I loved that board and I love this board. Don’t sleep on this deck if you want something that is freestyle focused and can handle the whole mountain. It says something when I stay riding for an extra 2 hours because the board is just that much fun and I didn’t want to get off it.

    Intrigued!

    Will this work also for a +240 (!) lbs guy, or totally die?

    Maybe you could recommend something similar, but ‘snap city’ so it will not be over powered by a blob?

    • Angrysnowboarder says: August 17, 2019 at 5:07 pm

      They don’t make a size that will fit you and you’d drastically over power it. Might be better off looking at the Nitro Fury or Ride Helix.

    Got to demo the 156 at Perisher on a demo day this winter, amazingly good board. Do you think with how popular this will be that Capita would consider increasing the range to a bigger size or two for the next season?

    Also thank you for all the reviews, they have helped me decide on a couple boards previously

    I am trying to decide between the 152 or 154…?

    Male _ 5’6″-5’7″ _ 170 lbs [thick bone body type/wide shoulders] _ Size 7 Boot [smaller than average feet]

    Progressing Intermediate. 50% park 50% groomers/side hits/carving. Mostly ride CA/UT/CO ski resorts.

    I am leaning towards the 154 since I am a little heavy for my height and also because I ride groomers and need the extra stability of a longer effective edge for carving. On the other hand, I also like to ride park and the 152 might be better for boxes/rails. Help…?

    Good Day from England.
    Love your honest, straight talking reviews.

    I’m 170 lbs. I own a 154cm Jones Mind Expander and Burton Skeleton key 158cm.
    I use the Jones for Pow and loose piste riding and the Burton for more freeride and when I go faster on the piste.
    Looking for a 3rd deck for more all mountain and it will mostly stay on piste, my park days are over, as my one knee is cooked. Just want a fun board for piste and boosting some rollers and side hits. Is the Asymulator that board? Also needs to be the board my wife will ride when she comes away with me. She is an advanced beginner/ intermediate. She is 135-140lbs. ( so in the 154cm weight range ) Will this work? or am I better off getting the Jones Explorer ( 156cm)?

      This is cam rocker basically which is what you’re describing. The flex will be forgiving for someone that knows how to ride but if you’ve never ridden probably not.

I’m coming from a CRC without any edge tech – will it be an improvement? Or do you have other suggestions?

    Hi Angry – I picked up a headspace last year based on your recommendation. I liked it quite a bit, but ended up snapping the noes after landing in the deep in the backseat. I was thinking about picking up a party platter, but think it will basically feel like my warpig so I’m thinking about replacing the headspace with either the asymulator or a yes jackpot. If you had to choose between the two of those, would you be able to pick one over the other? Also, is one of them more durable than the other/have better build quality. I think I remember you mentioning that mothership’s bio-resin was not particularly strong and was leading to a lot of people breaking their decks. I’m guessing Yes decks are made at SWS since they’re part of the Nidecker family?

          It’s a little more stable in the tips due to the camber profile, pop is about the same, speed? Well that’s all on you bud. Either go fast or don’t.

    Hey, I’ve been on several doa’s over the last few years, always riding 154cm. I am 5’9 145 pounds, 8.5 boot, and a confident rider. The doa seems a bit bland to me but it’s a board I grew very comfortable with so I just stuck with it. I’ve tried the super doa and that thing has no torsional give at all. Do you think a 54 asymulator would be a good size? Or should I size down to a 52. I did notice it had a longer effective edge

    • Angrysnowboarder says: December 3, 2019 at 9:26 am

    Hello – 5’7, 155-160 lbs, looking for a park board that i could use around the mountain if needed. Mostly riding in tahoe and would consider myself in between intermediate-advanced, but beginner at park. Primary goals would be to learn switch, buttering, and jumps with this board

    Already have a 155 mercury. Do you think this would be a good addition? If so 152 or 154?

      Get the 52 as the smaller size will let you toss it around quicker and be easier to butter on.

    Hello Angry, I’m trying to decide between Jackpot or Asym. I’m 5’11, 10.5 boot, 165 lbs, about 21″ stance width. Advanced rider. 85%+ park, 15% mountain. Within park 70% jibs, 30% jumps to 35 ft. I can ride hard, but I love to do presses and fast spinning skate-like things, so I’m thinking the 154 cm would be ideal (either model). For my style and dimensions, would it be dealer’s choice between the Jackpot or Asym, or would there be some reason to go with one model vs the other? The main concern I have is whether the Asym might be too narrow, given my 10.5 boot (Libertine), my shorter stance width (21″), and the fact that my goofy angle is usually small (between -6 and -9 degrees). Also curious whether the wider platform of the Jackpot adds noticeable stability on jumps and jibs (vs. the asym).

    Lastly, I have a 152 Bottle Rocket (2018) and I’m interested to know if you think the Jackpot or Asym are too similar to this board to merit purchasing one.

    Thanks in advance for your advice. You’re opinion means a lot to me, as it has informed most of my board and binding decisions over the last 10 years.

    Reply
    • Angrysnowboarder says: January 10, 2020 at 10:39 am

      So I’d push you towards the Jackpot exactly for the boot fitting reasons you mentioned. I also think that there’s a lot of overlap between it and your Bottlerocket and would say just ride that and save the cash.

    Hi Angry,
    What board would you personally choose as a secondary quiver option to cover the rest of the mountain (powder, carving, riding a speed, etc) in addition to match to the Asymulator as parkboard?
    More of party board, like the telos backslash that you own or spring break slushshlasher,
    or more of a serious powder board that can rip hard carves (from your top 5 free ride boards)?
    Appreciate your work,

I’m looking for a board that I can progress in the park, but still use all over the mountain. I mainly ride in California. I’m afraid that the 152 might be too big. I currently ride a 150. Other boards I’m considering are the Arbor Westmark Camber 150, Capita Outsiders 150, Yes Greats 151, Yes Jackpot 152, Yes Jackpot 149 from last year(on sale at a local shop).

    Hey Angry,

    Love your content. I’m looking for a new deck and I wanted to try an asym board.

    Intermediate rider, 183cm (6 ft), 82kg (180 lbs)
    Yes Basic 156W, Malavita M, with size 11 (ThirtyTwo TM2), -15,+15

    Looking at the Asymulator 156, do you think it’s too small for my weight/boot size?

    If not, would you recommend something else besides The Greats (seems lacking on the carving side compared with the Asymulator), or is The Greats the second best option?.
    Been trying to find a The Greats 156 from 2018 but with no luck.

      Your boots are going to be the issue with the Asymulator. But I’d say that you could check out maybe the Gnu Riders Choice or the Smokin Awesymmetrical. I believe both of those come in wide.

    I had a day on the 156 2021. Aweosme board. Just what I like in a board. Carves hard, great in the park. It’s quite a bit stiffer than my greats 154. Perhaps I should have got the 154 but I thought I’d get the extra width for my boots. Love the board cheers for your review

    Currently riding a westmark rocker and absolutely love the overall ride of it, and especially the easy buttering of the reverse camber.
    I am very tempted though to pick up this board aswell, especially after your review. Would you think that the asymulator could work as a compliment to the westmark rocker, or is too much of an overlap? Also I assume that the asymulator is not as easy to butter as the westmark due to its camber profile?
    Im riding all over the mountain, trees, hitting side hits and natural features. Trying to boost whenever possible and alot of buttering. Occasionally in the park but not that much. Obviously riding pow when its possible, but happens rarely.

      Too much overlap.

    Trying to get an asym board as my quiver of one board as I want to try the whole asym craze. I don’t bomb down hill ever, but I can’t jib to save my life. Also im a dad, so my park days consist of following hte kids and jumping. I like jumping a heck of alot.

    Other than that its carving, tree runs, smash the pow i can find, jumping of shit and messing around with butting in various ways.

    Can I get away with choosing an asymulator, greats, finest or should I go the “safe” route and pick a mountain twin or mercury?

    Lower end – middle of the road intermediate looking to buy an asym board for mainly having a blast in the peace park stuff, no jibbing as im too old to jib! Besides that the occasional tree run / tree gulleys (wide spaced as ill die otherwise).

    Basically looking for a board to have fun on, not too worried if it doesnt exactly is the greatest in one particular area as I wouldnt to maximize a board that was capable of that anyway.

    Could this be the one im looking for? 80kg, can I pick for example the 156 asymulator for a bit more all mountain aspect as well?

        Of these two which has better edge hold and float in powder? Which would you pick if you had to choose?

            Not sure what happened there i clicked a different comment to reply to lol.

            Given that you think that there is lots of overlap between the westmark rocker and asymulator which one eeks out the win for edge hold, pow and overall ride for a fun deck.

            I’m around 185 so comparing the 52 arbor and 56 capita based on weight recommendations.

          • Angrysnowboarder says: October 28, 2020 at 10:54 am

            If you want pow it’s going to be the rocker all day it’s a better camber profile for float. Edge hold is about the same. Fun that’s all up to you.

          • Floopflop says: October 31, 2020 at 9:11 am

            Maybe i just fucking get a Mercury. I fancied a twin which is why I waslooking at those two buuuut….

            You’re an adult with full range of your mental capacities I’m sure you’ll use that mental cognitive function to decide what you want to buy.

    Evening.

    I have been snowboarding for a while now, and now seems like the time to pick up a freshboard as I cracked my board by hitting a tree slighty. I’ve never actually paid attention to all the snowboard tech you can get, as I just rode with my family 1-2 times a year. But now I started looking at it, and I’ve got to say, its insane how much info and options there is out there.

    Can you clear up a few things?
    1. All mountain freestyle just means the board is capable all over the mountain but more freestyle focused? Or is it an all mountain board that is just able to handle a bit of freestyle? Where do I put the emphasis or does this change with the board? Aka, is this just the category you throw a board in when its a jack of all trades? If yes, then this is the “safe bet” category i assume.

    Anyhow, the asym aspect intrigues me, so as a resort rider that rides with his family 95% of the time and only on rare occasions venture out to see if I can get pow, do I get this board or eg. the mercury? (I saw from your videos that you rate these boards highly).

    Thank you for your time and your videos are great.

    Is the Capita Asymulator 154 with 15+/15- angles doable with US11 boots (32cm length)? I would mainly use it as a park board because I own a jones flagship (therefore I have not the intention to carve real deep).

      I wouldn’t recommend it.
