Nitro Snowboard Reviews

The T1 is Nitro’s time proven park focused true twin. A zero camber, blunted twin spec-ed up with Pop Band reinforcement and a sintered base and now featuring Nitro’s Whiplash core profiling which ads pop by increasing the core thickness at the outside of the bindings, the T1 is the kicker and rail killer the Nitro team take-out when the knuckles get bigger and the rails scarier.

Nitro’s hybrid camber rocket ship, also known as the Nitro Blacklight Gullwing is an all-mountain missile for blasting freeride terrain and slaughtering big transitions. For advanced riders who life firm flexing snowboards with big returns from carves and ollies and who don’t mind putting the work in to get the rewards the Nitro Blacklight Gullwing is a winner. The mid-wide waist means those folks with size 10US to 13US boot sizes are going to have all the fun.

If the English dictionary had an entry for “Urban Snowboarding” it would probably mention the Nitro Swindle as the snowboard of choice. From the blunted twin shape to the extra thick RailKiller edges and Scratch & Rip base the Swindle reads like a wish list for getting your jib-on. This year the Swindle’s ollie-pop gets a boost from the addition of Nitro’s Whiplash core profiling.

Park addicts come in all shapes, sizes and genders. Nitro knows female riders are stepping up their urban rail game and so its design team pieced together the Spell. The Nitro Spell combines the smooth on rail feel of zero camber, extra thick Railkiller edges and their Hi-Def extruded base, obvious choices for jib performance and durability in a harsh urban environment. A nice extra is the Whiplash core profiling which adds thicker sections outside the bindings for extra ollie pop.

The Nitro Fate Zero (flat camber profile) is an easy board to ride, an easy snowboard to progress on but an incredibly difficult snowboard to pigeon-hole, because of its adaptive nature. Female snowboarders of all levels and riding types who don’t want to restrict their riding to the board they’ve strapped themselves to will love the Fate Zero.

The almost famous Nitro Fate has been souped-up for 2013 with Nitro’s technology loaded Factory construction. That’s not to say it has become any heavier, with Nitro’s brand new Koroyd Hybrid core it’s probably managed to lose a few pounds too. For aggressive female riders looking for a lightweight, high performance, precision snowboard with the power or traditional camber the Factory Fate is the zenith of Nitro’s female range.

SB-RV heaped praise on the Nitro Team Series Gullwing last season. It is light, has tons of pop and a seriously fast sintered base. For riders whose ability is a little above intermediate; charging is no issue, riding switch is no biggie and hitting the 8m+ tables in the park is all part of a day’s riding then the Gullwing is a solid all-mountain choice. Off-piste, marked trails, park runs and urban rail sessions, you name it the Nitro Team Series Gullwing will slay it.

Replacing the Addict for the 12/13 winter season is the Nitro Cinema. True to Nitro’s dedication to bringing quality high spec products to snowboarders at a fair price, the Cinema packs trickle-down technologies that feature on more expensive boards in their line like Gullwing camber and Nitro’s tip-to-tail Poplar Powercore II.

Need that extra flotation for those days when the snow conditions are beyond deep? Plenty of taper, a drawn-out nose with a very gradual transition zone and Nitro’s hybrid Gullwing camber should keep you and the Slash from submarining even after that plate of spare ribs you polished-off at lunch.

The Nitro Rook is another returning classic from the Nitro range that’s won its fair share of awards and fans through its lifetime, not to mention a glowing review from Snowboard-Review. With its Jack of all trades zero camber profile, snappy Whiplash core profile and carbon reinforcement the Rook is a freestyle twin that will let its rider get away with sloppy rotations and will kill-it in pow despite a twin shape but still snap an ollie and set-down an unbalance landing.

Nitro never misses an opportunity to join the bandwagon. Their product line always takes the biggest tech stories of the previous season and puts them into a product graphic that the kids love. One of the big product stories of last year was Burton’s success with its Squeeze Box core profiling tech. Of course other brands had been there before, like Salomon with its Popster core, but none nailed the marketing quite like Burton. This year Nitro is hot on Burton’s tail with a core profile it is calling Whiplash, where the core thickens just before the front binding and after the back binding to increase ollie pop. Nitro has added this technology to a new cambered version of the classic twin shaped T1, this new model is named the T1.5. With extra pop, all the spec of a park thrashing champion and the golden blessing of a Transworld Good Wood Award, Nitro might just sell a few of its T1.5s.

The Thief’s directional twin shape and longer nose and tail kicks provide it with enough surface area to glide on top of fresh powder. The camber profile, triaxial laminates and Diamond Band reinforcement supply the punchy flex you want for railing carves in hard snow and boosting ollies off park jumps. The Nitro Thief is a great choice for intermediate to advanced snowboarders who mostly ride firmer snow but want the versatility to ride deep snow without having to lean back to much when it occasionally does dump.

Flick through your iPod until you find the heavy metal, ready? Now charge the Nitro Pantera down any line you can imagine, the steeper the better. Built for high speed stability and edge hold the Pantera uses a traditional camber profile and float is aided by a 5mm taper. The Nitro Pantera is for advanced freeriders who enjoy pushing themselves and their board to terminal velocity

If you caught any of Eero’s riding in last season’s “Cooking on Gas” series you’ll know that Eero rides his pro model on everything from hard pack Air & Style jumps to Helsinki street spots and even chin deep Hokkaido pow. It’s a no-nonsense twin shape park board; the carbon reinforcement, triaxial glass, traditional camber and high grade sintered base are staples for taking-on big obstacles. Touches like the blunted shape and Rail Killer reinforced edges are evidence that Eero really can and does ride everything.

The use of Koroyd is another industry first from the folks at Nitro Snowboards. Until Nitro dropped Koroyd technology at ISPO it was an entirely unknown material in the snowsports industry, but its use is extremely interesting. 70% lighter than conventional wood cores with good durability properties to boot, it really gives the Ultimate a big weight advantage. Is it the lightest snowboard on the planet, even lighter than the Burton Method? We don’t know, but at half the price it’s a lot more affordable. Directional, stiff and lightweight the Ultimate is for all-mountain riders who want to feel weightless out of the pipe and ride aggressively through all different terrain types and snow conditions.

Once upon a time the Nitro Team was the board to have, legends like Nicola Thost and Shin Campos endorsed it and every man, woman and grom wanted one. Now the Team is out of the limelight but boy-oh-boy does it perform! The Team is a light, technical and incredibly lively snowboard for strong intermediate riders through to pros focused on high speed freestyle riding.

Nitro’s big seller the Fate makes snowboarding that little bit easier. Everything you need to enjoy a day on the mountain is packed into the Fate. Zero camber makes it more forgiving than standard camber but there’s still enough life in the board to enjoy a day of carving and the directional twin shape will have all but the completely inexperienced gliding over fresh powder.

Nitro’s newest all-mountain offering the Thief is designed for all-mountain riders who charge hard, hit transitions with plenty of speed and appreciate the performance benefits of camber and advanced materials. The board you can steal (although we’d rather you paid for it), the skills to use it to its full potential you’ve got to earn.

The Nitro T1 is where high-end spec meets affordable price tag. Its twin shape, Bi-Lite laminates, new Rock Bands reinforcement and Reflex core are a pretty good sign that the T1 is designed to press and pop with the best park rides. Extra thick Rail Killer edges should keep your edges from cracking and theres’ a choice of camber or Zero Camber.

Everything about the Nitro Swindle is focused on jibbing and sliding. The Zero Camber profile will ooze all over boxes and ledges, the Rail Killer edges will stand more than the occasional hook-up or being slammed through a triple kink-er and the Scratch and Rip base will look cooler every time you slice it on a rail or gauge it on a stair set.

We’re not talking about a hard as nails Mortal Kombat character, we’re talking about Nitros’ marshmallow soft Gullwing-ed jib stick. With the Nitros composite Combat core sandwiched between soft biax glass this board will press like a shatter-proof ruler and stomp the flattest of landings.

You’re in Hokkaido, Japan in January and it’s puking powder, do you (A) dig out your delaminating jib stick, or (B) unsheathe the Nitro Slash at the bottom of your board bag? If you answered (A) I am afraid there is no hope for you. With its fish shape (heavy taper and long nose) and its surf inspired flex the Slash will make dreams of Kelly Slater cut-backs in chin deep powder a reality. This year the Slash is available with Gullwing camber for a more nimble feel and the 181 comes with a Swallow tail!

A buttery soft women’s snowboard with Gullwing camber for getting right over nose presses and 5-0s. The Runaway’s twin shape and Scratch & Rip extruded base make it the perfect companion for urban rail missions and spring park expression sessions.

How did a snowboard that was only released two seasons ago become so popular? Its mid-wide waist, zero camber profile, twin shape and medium/soft flex might go some way to explaining the Nitro Rook’s success, but it’s more likely the fact that the Rook devours rails, fires off kickers and out of the pipe and doesn’t mind a powder session either. What’s not to like?

Some clever chap somewhere discovered that kids like to snowboard and that making them snowboards in small sizes was a license to print money. Being a bright bunch of fellows Nitro has jumped on the bandwagon and the Ripper is Nitro’s freestyle kid’s board. With its zero camber profile and twin shape the Ripper is going to be responsible for a whole generation of rail and jib assassins.

The Nitro Gunnerson is an urban thoroughbred. From the easy press Zero Camber profile and Reflex core profile combination to the Rail Killer edges and insane Scratch & Rip base that shows off your board’s wounds, the Gunnerson is everything a rail board should be and more.

Have you ever strapped yourself to a missile? I’m told cranking your ratchets whilst strapping into the Pantera LX fills you with the same cocktail of fear and excitement. With Basalt and Carbon laminates, Nitros’ fastest sintered base, a stiff flex and a tapered directional shape you’ll be leaving every other skier and snowboarder in your vapour trail as you haul ass to get first tracks.

Right so you’ve chosen the Nitro Lectra because you’re a beginner and you want a do-it-all snowboard that will last you a couple of seasons and that looks the business. Now all you have to choose is whether you want the forgiving feel of zero camber of the snappy pop of camber under your feet and if you prefer the Blend or Colorband graphics. Who said choosing a snowboard was easy?

Eero’s been at the top of the game for longer than most and with video parts that consistently blow the field apart you know that Eero is riding a board that works for him. The camber profile gives him the grip he needs for show-time booters while the directional twin shape keeps him from sinking in Japan’s bottomless powder.

The Addict, Nitro’s all-mountain freestyle shred for intermediates on a budget returns for a second season. With Gullwing hybrid camber, Nitro’s composite wood core and biaxial laminates, be sure to have a fix, but be aware once you’ve ridden it you’ll be back fro more.

Nitro must think they’re onto a good thing with their Gullwing profile, they’re even adding the technology to the the famous Team series. From legends like Nicola Throst and Shin Campos to new international kicker assassin Gian Luca Cavigelli, the Team has, and always will provide the goods for park and backcountry booter progression.

Last year the Rook was king of the Nitro castle. For 2011 the Nitro Rook returns with an almost identical package. Nitro are still using their zero camber profile, degressive sidecut and biaxial glass, but for 2011 they’re added Kevlar impact plates under the bindings so you don’t go smashing the core to bits when you overshoot landings, and Nitro have added their Pop Band technology, a narrow strip of glass that runs the length of the board, to improve pop without increasing torsional rigidity. The Rook is a park slayer with all-mountain versatility. If you’re not digging the 2011 graphic you can always pick up one of the limited edition rides featuring Dennis McNett’s artwork.

It’s a pretty well know fact that Eero Ettala kills it on all terrain. From Throwing down precise, laser guided double backflips in Japan’s legendary trees to stomping unimaginable tricks back-to-back in the X-Games finals, Finish snowboarding hero Eero Ettala can ride it all. No surprise then that Eero’s pro model at Nitro slices through any terrain like a hot knife through butter. Just make sure you work on your girlie legs over the summer, because the Eero isn’t the softest of snowboards.

Is this the coolest looking snowboard on the planet? Available in three sizes the 161 and 166 are heavily tapered pin tails while the 177 (yes that’s one hundred and seventy seven centimeters!) has the same uber tapered shape with a mini swallow tail. But it’s not just the shape and paint job that are rad; Nitro are using biaxial laminates and the Reflex core profile (thinner profile between the feet) meaning the Slash is easy to initiate into turns and super slashy and agile. Finally the Slash features Nitro’s freeride specific S-Gullwing profile, basically an early rise nose with camber in the tail, a similar profile to that used in the Burton Fish and Atomic Banger. Perfect for slashing, sticking drops and pumping that pow for extra speed.

Take the Pantera, remove the four litre engine under the bonnet and replace it with a race tuned supercharged V8, that’s effectively what you get when you add the two letters LX to end of the Pantera. Sure the directional, slightly tapered shape is the same, and the Pantera LX still uses the Sintered Speed Formula II base. It’s the Diamond (basalt and carbon fibre) laminates combined with the Reflex core that create a ferocious animal, intent on ripping up corduroy and churning powder. If you’re a hard charger looking for a board to rail on edges and fire of cliffs, the Pantera LX is it.

You’ve been looking at the Swindle but zero camber just isn’t going to cut it… you want Gullwing rocker / camber profile. Nitro have got you covered, the super soft flexing Combat core and biaxial laminates keep the Sub Zero as soft as a sponge and the Gullwing camber makes pressing and buttering on tap.

Nitro’s budget rail riding rip-stick the Swindle returns to the Nitro range for 2011. From the Scratch & Rip FH base which changes colour when you gauge it to the Reflex core profile and flat camber the Nitro Swindle should have you pressing everything from concrete ledges to single bar handrails with minimal effort.

The park staple of the Nitro range, the T1 feels like it’s been around since the beginning. Everything about the T1 screams ‘PARK!!!’. Taking if from the top, the Powercore II core uses the Reflex profile, thinning its profile between the feet for a little bit more agility on rail approaches and easier presses on whatever ledge, box or handrail you’re taking the T1 too. Then there’s the Railkiller (super thick) edges for extra steal-on-steal durability no matter how many down to flat kinks you need to work the T1 through. Nitro have used biaxial glass in the T1’s construction for forgiving landings and less catchy rail slaying, and then added their new Pop Band reinforcement along the centre of the board for extra pop without compromising forgiveness. Finally, there’s the Zero camber which makes on-rail action Rolls Royce smooth and kicker takeoffs catch free. If you are serious about dominating the Park and showing up your buddies, we reckon the T1 is the bomb!

Another team edition ride from Nitro, the Gross Out Kids pro series uses it’s own unique shape, Nitro’s Gullwing rocker/camber profile and the soft flexing Combat composite wood core combined with Bi-Lite biaxial glass laminates to create a snowboard to press and jib your way from the top of the mountain all the way home. Find your size and support your favourite Nitro team rider.

Like an 80s heavy metal band the Nitro Pantera gets better with age. You’re after float in powder? The directional tapered shape will provide plenty of float and the sintered base will have you gliding over any sticky flat spots. Want edge hold for laying down supersonic carves? Triaxial glass and a progressive sidecut should keep your edge in the snow and the board stable no matter what conditions you find the Pantera plowing through. Need pop? Camber and Basalt tip-to-tail reinforcement will kick you out of carves and fire you head height off rollers.

From out of the dark comes a powerful creation, a snowboard so powerful it may well fill the place of the vanquished Nitro Prolight. Spec-ed to the max, the Nitro Shadow packs more under the topsheet than most high class rides; we are talking Gullwing camber, triaxial glass, basalt fibre reinforcement and Kevlar impact plates under the bindings. Expect a lively and responsive all-mountain snowboard designed to be ridden by aggressive and experienced snowboarders.

There’s a new snowboard in town and the rumor going around is that once you’ve sampled the intoxicating high of riding it, you’ll even loot your grandma to pay for one. The Nitro Addict combines Nitro’s Gullwing rocker/camber profile in a directional twin shape and the all new Combat wood composite core, creating a board that rules in all conditions and on all terrain. It also makes a nice change to see a Nitro Snowboard that isn’t black or neon, Mark Welsh’s photography is rad.

Do you remember your first day on a snowboard? Let’s be honest… it sucked, sore wrists, a sore back, raw feet from badly fitting boots and a lump of a hire board to lug around. At least one of those contributing factors to a sucky day can be changed. The soft flexing Nitro Lectra with its biaxial glass, radial sidecut and low camber will make the first day that bit more bearable and progression over the following weeks that little bit quicker.

Much like the similarly named Porsche 911, the Nitro Carrara is a high performance speed machine thanks to the directional shape and sintered Speed Formula II base. The only difference is you won’t have some yuppie trader with slick back hair and a mobile phone the size of a brief case riding one just like yours. ‘Carraras are like so cool, yah, I’m buying one as soon as I get my bonus’. All-mountain performance for confident female rippers.

The Nitro Haze returns for another season of budget, park shredding. From the predictable radial sidecut, to the Biaxial laminates and extruded base there’s no denying the Haze’s features are run-of-the-mill, but hey that’s ideal if you want to kick it in the park.

Beneath its fairly innocent looking skin the Nitro Runaway is a bit of a park animal. From the wicked Scratch & Rip base which shows off your board’s wounds to the extra thick edges to prevent nasty dings and the Gullwing profile which combines loose feel with pop and edge hold, the Runaway is everything park rippers have been dreaming of.

Year after year the Fate returns to the Nitro line-up. It might be because of the Reflex core profile and Bi-Lite laminates that make the Fate ridiculously easy to turn. Then again, it could be because the dual degressive sidecut makes landings and take-offs catch free, but then again it might be because the Zero camber profile makes the Fate easy to take in the powder and buttery smooth on jibs and pressing on boxes. I reckon it’s because all of these features combine to make a snowboard that makes snowboarding fun.

The Nitro Prime probably won’t win any awards for pioneering snowboard design or mind-blowing performance, but that’s not the point.

The Nitro Misfit definitely fits the bill for riders who want to take their kicker riding to the backcountry. A camber profile and Rock Band basalt fibres running along the length provide the pop you need for blasting off soft powdery transitions and the triaxial glass and flat kick tips arm riders with a board that’ll stick super deep powder and completely tracked-out landings. Should you feel the urge to lay down some hand-dragging carves or blast a big Lien air out of the pipe then the Misfit’s probably a good match.

The Nitro Blacklight has been a favourite with larger footed riders for a number of seasons now.

The Nitro Demand is new to the line-up for 2011.

No it’s not a posh choc-ice and it’s definitely not the most powerful hand gun in the world. The Nitro Magnum is Nitro’s notoriously wide snowboarding boat designed for those gifted in the shoe department. Boot overhang is a thing of the past, it’s just a shame baggage excess isn’t.

Cheryl Mass has been mixing it up with the boys for years. Her effortless style and complete disregard for personal safety mean she’s one of the best female riders out there and puts many male pros to shame.

The Nitro Fate has always offered all-mountain versatility and performance to women riders. Nothing’s changed for 2009/10.

The Nitro Swindle was designed for killing it on rails, with soft biaxial glass, Railkiller edges and the awsome Scratch & Rip Extruded base (shows your boards scars), the spec is certainly geared that way. However taking the Swindle out on the slopes, it appears to offer a little bit more.

Similar to the Prolight but with a slightly wider waist.
