2027 Nitro Alternator FX Snowboard
The 2027 Nitro Alternator FX builds on the proven versatility of the Alternator and adds a more responsive, high-performance feel for riders pushing harder across the entire mountain. Designed with input from Nitro’s top all-mountain riders, it features the same directional shape and Trüe Camber profile, now enhanced with Carbon Tape for increased snap and energy transfer. The result is a board that feels quicker edge-to-edge, more reactive underfoot, and more powerful through turns. Whether you're hitting natural features, carving groomers, or charging variable terrain, the Alternator FX delivers a sharper, more dynamic ride.
