Flex: 6/10
Shape: Directional - With over fifty years of proven performance, directional shapes have a nose longer than the tail and excel at float, glide, carving and stability in variable snow
Bend: Cam-Out Camber - Our Cam-Out Camber is basically a Trüe Camber with early and smooth transitions into tip and tail. The result is a fun and responsive board that turns on the spot and is forgiving, even after that 713.5° landing!
Core: Powercore - The Powercore uses tip-to-tail poplar wood, providing lightweight strength and the perfect blend of flex, response and feel.
Fibreglass: Bi-Lite Laminates - Well-balanced layers of carbon fiber establish a new level in performance. More snap and liveliness provide a smooth, powerful and effortless ride. Carbon reinforcement fibers are ultra-strong yet lightweight.
Base: Sintered EcoSpeed HD Base – Sustainable, Durable and Fast
EXTRAS
Dual Degressive - Dual Degressive - This sidecut blends a smaller radius in the center with two larger ones in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful. Nitro´s most forgiving sidecut.
Power Pods - Overlaying a tighter sidecut radius in the center of the board with a larger one towards tip and tail is creating our exclusive POWERPODS which have two amazing effects : On one hand, there is extended board width under the bindings, resulting in additional edge control, especially on hard and icy sur faces as well as simply less toe and heel drag for larger boots and flatter stance angles. On the other hand, our POWERPODS make the board super reactive and fast turning once it’s put on edge – while keeping it easy to control if ridden with less dynamics.
