The 2026 Nitro Alternator is a super capable, all-terrain freestyle board that will handle everything inbounds - to the wild terrain outside the boundary.
With enough shape to float on the deep days, a stiff enough flex to power through big landings and all the pop and responsive you want from the camber profile, the Alternator is an easy choice.
Board Type: All Mountain - Freeride
All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything.
Freeride snowboards are built for steeper, off-piste terrain. These boards are ideal for aggressive riding and usually for more advanced riders.
Flex: 8/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Stiff snowboards are precise, responsive, and built for advanced riders tackling high speeds, steep terrain, or icy conditions. They deliver powerful turns, excellent edge hold, and enhanced stability, especially during aggressive riding.
Ability Level: Advanced
Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks.
Shape: Directional
A directional snowboard has a shape designed for riding primarily in one direction, with a longer nose and a shorter, more compact tail. This design provides better control, stability, and float in powder, making it ideal for freeride and all-mountain riding. It offers optimal performance when riding forward, with a focus on carving and downhill runs.
Camber Type: True Camber
The original camber type, unmatched for strong snap and powerful response. Each True Camber board in the Nitro range has it's own special tweak to suit its intended terrain type, keeping the camber shape with a more specialised ride.
Profile: Reflex Core Profile
The Reflex Core Profile features a thinner core profile between your feet to improve handling and increases torsional flex. This allows you to turn your board easier and with more precision.
Width: Progressive
The Progressive Width concept eliminates the guesswork of selecting the right board. Each board's width is pre-adjusted to its size, ensuring an ideal length-to-width ratio.
Sidecut: Dual Degressive Sidecut
A smaller radius sidecut in the centre along with two larger ones in the tip and tail make it feel loose, playful, and the most forgiving sidecut in the Nitro range.
Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
Board Construction
Laminate: Bi-Lite Laminates
Bi-Lite Laminates have fibres running in two directions, providing strength, power, and a forgiving board feel.
Core: PowerLite
The PowerLite Core is made with the highest grade of ultra-lightweight poplar wood, giving you the perfect ride with lots of pop and unmatched strength at minimum weight.
Sidewall: ABS Sidewall
The ABS Sidewall is flexible and impact resistant so your board's core can stay protected from the elements and damage.
Tape: Carbon Tape
The V-Shape Carbon tape adds supercharged response to your board, giving more torsional strength and letting you push your board harder than ever.
Base: Sintered Speed Formula II Base
This upgraded base material provides record-breaking speeds that allow you to go further that your peers with ease.
Edges: Recycled Steel Edge
By using recycled steel you get an eco-friendly and strong edge.
