Technical Specifications
Nitro is a leading snowboard brand known for innovative, high-quality boards and bindings for riders of all levels. The brand combines durability, performance and playful design, so that every run on the slopes or in the park becomes the ultimate experience.
The Nitro Sintered Speed Formula II Base is an advanced base material that offers snowboarders an unprecedented sense of speed and durability on the mountain. With its ability to hold wax and exceptional durability, this base provides a smooth and fast ride, regardless of the conditions.
This core is designed to offer a combination of lightness and strength, allowing snowboarders to experience responsive performance and maneuverability without compromising on durability. The Reflex Core Profile is designed with an advanced core construction in which the middle of the snowboard is slightly recessed. This provides a responsive flex in the center of the board for easy turns and control, while the tip and tail of the board are stiffer for stability at high speeds and landings.
Carbon stringers are ultra-strong yet light. Tip-to-tail stringers transmit the rider's input to help you steer your board and maintain control.
A larger radius at the front, transitioning into a tighter one toward the tail: The progressive sidecut makes powering out of turns a breeze, while the nose remains catch-free.
Camber is a distinctive snowboard profile in which the middle of the board arches upward and the contact points at the tip and tail rest on the snow. This creates an arched shape and provides better grip, response, and pop.
A directional shape provides improved performance and stability when riding in a single direction, especially for freeriding and in powder snow.
