Tech Details
Directional Splitboard
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!
SplitGrip Core Profile
Like the Standard Core Profile, the Splitgrip Core Profile has a thicker part in the middle. For better uphill performance, the center thickness is modified and thins out towards tip and tail to improve your skins’ grip even on slippery surfaces or steep climbs.
Standard
Standard Width boards offer the best in edge-to edge quickness and response while still providing enough platform for average boot sizes.
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.
Hike Pods
Featured exclusively on our Vertical and Doppleganger split boards, the Hike Pods are specifically designed to add grip under the bindings in hiking mode, making those icy traverses just a bit more fun!
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.
Narrow Recycled Racing Steel Edge
Designed specifically for splitboards, our Narrow Recycled Racing Steel Edge is lightweight and durable, made from 50% recycled steel.
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.
Tip and Tail Locks
Custom-designed Tip and Tail Locks are easy to use and will keep your board halves locked firmly together.
Forged T7075 Aluminum Hooks
Our Forged T7075 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
Designed specifically for our perfectly matched Kohla skins, the Nitro x Kohla Skin Attachment system makes attaching and removing your skins a breeze and will keep your skins where they belong – no matter what the snow conditions.
