Tech Details

SPARK R&D Tesla T1 base

The Vertical's Spark R&D Tesla T1 base offers a simplistic, function-focused lightweight design. Combined with the upgraded EVA pad, it delivers a comfortable, stable ride on the way down, support on the way up, and a smooth transition between skinning and riding mode.

EVA Dampening

EVA (foam) dampening is the most widely used technique globally. You can see it on sneakers, beds, or even yoga mates, which always means comfort to the user. It provides lightweight and cushioning without compromising control.

Cable Reinforced Connectors and Ratchets

Nitro’s Cable Reinforced Connectors and Ratchets feature over-molded stainless-steel cables running through the binding ladder and ratchet straps for added strength, reduced stretch, and dependable durability. No stretch, no breaks, no worries!

Übergrip PRO Toe Strap

Nitro’s Übergrip Pro toe strap features a lightweight, 3D-injected mold with an interior grip pad for a secure fit, grip, and support. It conforms to any boot's toe box, with a rubber component that stays in place regardless of landings or weather.

3D OptiFrame Flex Strap

An ergonomically injected molded 3D contour / evenly distributed pressure.

Speed Wheel 3.0 Buckles and Ratchets

Nitro’s Speed Wheel's evolution features a new tooth design for smooth engagement and release. Made from durable material, it endures cold without performance loss, offering reliable support, ease of use, and precision on the mountain.
