Tech Details
Directional Splitboard
Purposeful, focused, and functional, a directional snowboard shape provides enhanced powder float, stability, and control. Its longer nose helps navigate deep and variable snow, while the functional tail delivers dependable turning and versatile all-mountain performance.
Trüe Camber
Nitro’s Trüe Camber is the traditional camber profile riders trust for powerful pop, dependable stability, and precise edge control. Its responsive shape delivers the snap, support, and confidence needed for carving, jumping, and high-performance riding across the entire mountain.
SplitGrip Core Profile
Like the Standard Core Profile, Nitro’s Splitgrip Core Profile has a thicker part in the middle. For better uphill performance, the thickness profile is modified to improve your skins’ grip even on slippery surfaces or steep climbs.
Standard Width
Standard Width boards offer the best in edge-to edge quickness and response while still providing enough platform for average boot sizes.
Progressive Sidecut
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.
Hike Pods
Nitro’s Hike Pods provide additional traction directly beneath the bindings while touring, improving grip, control, and stability on firm or icy traverses. This helps splitboarders maintain a more secure and efficient skin track in challenging conditions.
Sintered Speed Formula II Base
Rocket science put to work! Nitro’s Sintered Speed Formula II Base uses a nano-scale wax formula infused deep into the base material for lightning-fast glide across changing snow conditions. Highly tunable and extremely durable, it is exclusively featured on Nitro’s premium high-performance snowboards.
Narrow Recycled Racing Steel Edge
Designed specifically for splitboards, our Narrow Recycled Racing Steel Edge is lightweight and durable, made from 5% recycled steel.
Full Carbon Laminates
Full carbon laminates provide maximum pop and liveliness to the board.
KOROYD PowerLite Core
Utilizing co-extruded miniature tubes, vertically aligned and welded, with unique energy absorption properties, KOROYD is approximately 7% 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
Nitro’s ABS sidewalls are made from 35% recycled polymers and are designed to be cold-resistant and durable.
Tip and Tail Locks
Nitro’s Custom-designed Tip and Tail Locks are easy to use and will keep your board halves locked firmly together.
Forged T775 Aluminum Hooks
Nitro’s Forged T775 Aluminum Hooks make sure your board halves are stiffened out to make for a flat and even base surface.
Nitro x Kohla skin attachment system
Nitro splitboards are designed to pair precisely with their matching Kohla climbing skins. The Nitro x Kohla Skin Attachment System makes installation and removal fast and easy while keeping the skins securely in place across changing snow conditions.
