Term

Setback

A rearward offset of stance or reference geometry; specify the manufacturer's reference.

GLOSSARY · Equipment, setup & maintenance

Setback moves the stance toward the tail, leaving a longer nose in front of the rider. It helps the nose float in powder and gives a more directional feel.

Context and distinction

Setback is a setup or design choice; leaning back is a riding movement. Different brands measure setback from different reference points.
