2026 Never Summer Trooper X Snowboard
The Trooper X brings the versatile, go-anywhere performance of the Trooper to riders who need a wider platform for increased stability and zero toe or heel drag. Its Triple Camber Hybrid profile provides strong edge hold, energetic pop, and smooth control across all types of terrain, while the directional twin shape offers versatility for both freeride and freestyle riding. With a medium 6/10 flex and the added width of the X platform, the Trooper X is ideal for larger-booted riders who want one board that can carve groomers, surf powder, hit natural features, and handle the whole mountain with confidence.
Who is this board best for?
Intermediate to advanced riders who want a wider, more stable version of the Trooper for all-mountain versatility and drag-free carving.

Tech
Camber Profile
- Triple Camber Hybrid – Three micro-camber zones deliver strong edge hold, enhanced pop, and added stability for all-mountain riding, while rocker between the feet keeps turn initiation smooth and forgiving. This balanced profile makes the Trooper equally capable on groomers, in powder, or when riding natural terrain.
Flex
- 6/10 (Medium) – A versatile flex that provides enough stability for faster riding and steeper terrain while remaining playful for freestyle features and all-mountain movement.
Shape
- Directional Twin – Symmetric feel for switch riding with a slightly longer nose and setback stance for increased float and stability in variable conditions.
Sidecut
- Power Grip Sidecut – Multi-radius design that creates several contact points along the edge, enhancing grip on firm snow and boosting confidence while carving at speed.
Core
- NS SuperLight Wood Core – Lightweight yet durable core engineered for consistent flex, energetic rebound, and long-lasting performance across the entire mountain.
Laminates
- Carbon VXR Laminate Technology – Carbon stringers radiate from the bindings to the tip and tail to increase pop, torsional power, and stability through carves, landings, and higher speeds.
- STS Pre-Tensioned Fiberglass – High-end fiberglass layer offering powerful responsiveness, improved strength, and consistent flex under pressure.
- Bi-Lite Fiberglass – A smooth-flexing fiberglass layup that keeps the ride predictable and lively without unnecessary stiffness.
Base
- Durasurf XT Sintered 5501 Base – Fast, durable, and highly wax-absorbent base material engineered for premium glide and long-term performance in a variety of snow conditions.
Additional Features
- RDS 2 Damping System – Multi-layer damping construction that smooths out vibration without sacrificing a lively, responsive feel.
- Elastomeric Underfoot Stabilizers – Rubberized dampers placed under each binding help absorb impact and reduce chatter on rough terrain.
- Low-Profile Nose/Tail – Streamlined shaping that reduces swing weight for faster transitions, easier spins, and improved maneuverability in varied terrain.
- Never Summer UHMW Sidewalls – Highly durable sidewall material designed to withstand repeated impacts, edge hits, and long-term use.
Binding Compatibility
- 2x4 Insert Pattern – Works with all major bindings and provides flexible stance width adjustability.
Warranty
- 3-Year Warranty – Covers manufacturing defects for long-term riding confidence.
