Technical Specifications
Nidecker Snowboards offers you an extra year of warranty against manufacturing defects. Register your board HERE to extend your warranty from two to three years.
The N5000 is a universal base. It is designed to absorb wax and hold it longer. This base is exceptionally durable and will take you anywhere.
This is a standard poplar core, with beech reinforcement. The beech in the nose and tail adds pop, stiffness and torsion. If you like a consistent ride with lots of liveliness, then this is the core for you.
This triax laminate is the result of extensive testing with pro riders and engineers. It is laid at a 45-degree angle to the board and contains varying glass densities. This provides consistent torsional flex, better pop and more responsiveness on every run.
Absorbnid is an innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. This allows us to develop responsive, dynamic boards that still give you a smooth, fatigue-free ride.
