Directional
The mother of all snowboard shapes. Purposeful, focused, and functional, a directionally shaped board will float in the pow, cut through the crust and provide you with a functional tail to rip it up all over the mountain.
Trüe Camber
Trüe Camber is good old standard camber, which provides the stability and pop many shreds can´t live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivalled by any other camber design. Camber height varies between board models and sizes because each board is specifically designed for a certain terrain or type of riding, but Camber is Camber there is no point in over complicating it!
Reflex Core Profile
A thinner core between your feet on the Reflex Core Profile improves handling and increases torsional flex, allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease.
Progressive
The Progressive Width concept takes the guesswork out of choosing your board. We pre-adjusted each board’s width to its size, providing you with the best length-to-width match, from Standard to Mid-Wide to Wide. Spend less time guessing and more time shredding!
Dual Degressive
The Dual Degressive Sidecut blends a smaller radius in the center with two larger ones in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful. Nitro´s most forgiving sidecut.
Sintered Speed Formula II Base
Rocket science put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into our sintered base material makes the base surface lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, Speed Formula II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro high-end boards.
Recycled Steel Edge
50% recycled steel edges are standard on all boards. They are strong, durable, and can be sharpened multiple times.
Bi-Lite Laminates
Our rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board-feel.
Powerlite Core
The highest grade of selected ultra-lightweight poplar wood in our Powerlite core makes for the perfect ride with lots of pop and unmatched strength at a minimum weight.
ABS Sidewalls
Our ABS sidewalls are made from 35% recycled polymers and are designed to be cold-resistant and durable.
Carbon Tape
Carbon tape is used for longitudinal reinforcement, providing direct power transfer.
