Tech Details
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.
Mid-Wide
Mid-Wide boards provide that little extra in width for less toe and heel drag, additional flotation and that extra bit of confidence when leaning into these power carves on icy slopes.
Wide
Not only for bigger boot sizes! Wide boards offer additional floatation, less drag and – due to our decades of designing nimble and reactive wide boards – will not feel like a bathroom door on your feet.
Progressive
A larger radius in the front, blended into a tighter one towards the tail: The Progressive Sidecut makes accelerating out of turns a breeze, while maintaining a catch-free nose area.
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.
Full Carbon Laminates
Full carbon laminates provide maximum pop and liveliness to the board.
KOROYD PowerLite Core
With the KOROYD Powerlite Core, Nitro pioneered the latest in core technology: Utilizing co-extruded miniature tubes, vertically aligned and welded, with unique energy absorption properties, KOROYD is approximately 70% lighter than standard balsa wood, with no loss in strength or flex. This engineered core is utilized in the tip and tail areas for a smoother ride, reduced swing mass and overall weight.
ABS Sidewalls
Our ABS sidewalls are made from 35% recycled polymers and are designed to be cold-resistant and durable.
Antiphase™ Technology
Unlike conventional damping, which relies on rubber elastomers to reduce vibrations, Antiphase™ is a multidirectional composite layer, which is placed between the tip and binding. It disrupts the natural frequency of an oscillating snowboard, stopping vibrations which otherwise amplify and end up as tip chatter. Ride faster and stay in control!
