The Speed Machine
The Vertical Splitboard adheres to a construction philosophy of reduced materials for increased performance and speed at minimum weight for lightning-speed accents – while offering the floaty, responsive, and fun ride Nitro is known for. The board's narrow outline significantly improves tracking, traversing, and uphill speed under challenging conditions. Built for the riders looking to push the limits of what is possible on a splitboard while effortlessly getting more runs than everyone else.

All Terrain: All Mountain Pop
Our most versatile flex pattern, combining Nitro’s signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain.
Directional Shape
The mother of all snowboard shapes. Purposeful, focused, and functional, a directionally shaped board will float in the pow, cut through the crust and provide you with a functional tail to rip it up all over the mountain.
Progressive Sidecut
A larger radius in the front, blended into a tighter one towards the tail: The progressive sidecut makes accelerating out of turns a breeze, while maintaining a catch-free nose area.
Standard Width
Standard Width boards offer the best in edge-to edge quickness and response while still providing enough platform for average boot sizes.
Forged T7075 Aluminum Hooks – Sturdy and Lightweight
Our Forged T7075 Aluminum Hooks make sure your board halves are stiffened out to make for a flat and even base surface.
Diamond Laminates – Ultralight and Responsive
Well-balanced layers of carbon fiber establish a new level in performance. Our Diamond Laminates provide the ultimate in pop and liveliness for a smooth, powerful, and effortless ride.
Hike Pods – Adding Edge Grip in Icy Traverses
Featured exclusively on our Vertical and Doppleganger split boards, the Hike Pods are specifically designed to add grip under the bindings in hiking mode, making those icy traverses just a bit more fun!
KOROYD PowerLite Core – Ultra Light and Vibration Absorbing
With the KOROYD Powerlite Core, Nitro pioneered the latest in core technology: Utilizing co-extruded miniature tubes, vertically aligned and welded, with unique energy absorption properties, KOROYD is approximately 70% lighter than standard balsa wood, with no loss in strength or flex. This engineered core is utilized in the tip and tail areas for a smoother ride, reduced swing mass and overall weight.
Sintered Speed Formula II Base – Fastest and Durable
Rocket science put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into our sintered base material makes the base surface lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, Speed Formula II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro high-end boards.
Tip and Tail Locks – Fast and Secure
Custom-designed Tip and Tail Locks are easy to use and will keep your board halves locked firmly together.
Carbon Neutral Product
Together with ClimatePartner we are able to use specific and accurate tools and information to measure our carbon footprint in life cycle from production to end life of our snowboards. Our partnership with ClimatePartner allows us to strive to find more effecient ways to improve and reduce our carbon footprint every step of our products lifecycle, and also allows us to offset our current carbon footprint to make our snowboards and bindings 100% Carbon Neutral by investing into climate change projects and solutions. Reducing, rethinking, and compensating for CO2 emissions is just the start.
