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, ensuring that every ride on the slope or in the park becomes an ultimate experience.
The Nitro Sintered Speed Formula II Base is an advanced base material that offers snowboarders an unprecedented feeling of speed and durability on the mountain. With its ability to hold wax and exceptional durability, this base ensures a smooth and fast ride, regardless of the conditions.
This core is designed to provide 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 where the center of the snowboard is slightly recessed. This allows for 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 lightweight. 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 towards the tail: The progressive sidecut makes accelerating out of turns a breeze, while the nose remains catch-free.
Camber is a distinctive snowboard profile where the middle of the board bends upwards and the contact points at the tip and tail rest on the snow. This creates an arc-like shape and provides better grip, responsiveness, and pop.
A directional shape provides improved performance and stability when riding in one direction, especially in freeriding and on powder snow.
