Description
2025 Men's Nitro Alternator x Volcom Snowboard
The Stony All-Terrain Vehicle!
This board has become a Volcom and Nitro team favorite for a good reason: it is the most capable backcountry freestyle snowboard the mountain has ever seen. The Alternator x Volcom is for those looking for a progressive width directional shape and team-tested flex to step up their game from the marked trails to the backcountry. This board is purposefully designed and equipped to let your mind run wild, regardless of terrain or conditions.
“The Alternator x Volcom board – is simple. The board is absolutely insane, no words can
describe the feeling of this monster.” - Seth Hout
Camber Profile
- Trüe Camber – Good old standard camber, which provides the stability and pop many shredders can't live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivaled.
Flex
- Flex Rating – 7/10 (1=Soft,10=Stiff)
- Directional All Terrain Flex – Nitro's most versatile flex pattern, combining their signature all mountain pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain.
Shape
- Directional – A directional shape, with a longer nose than tail.
- 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.
Core
- Powerlite Core – The highest grade of ultra-lightweight poplar wood in Nitro's Powerlite Core makes for the perfect ride with lots of pop and unmatched strength at a minimum weight.
- Reflex Core Profile – A thinner core profile between your feet improves handling and increases torsional flex, allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease.
Laminates
- Bi-Lite Laminates – Nitro's rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for a powerful riding style and a refined board-feel.
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.
- 100% Natural Speed Wax – All Nitro boards are factory-tuned with Kandahars 100% Natural Speed Wax, a fully bio-degradable wax made of renewable resources.
Binding Compatibility
- 2 x 4 Insert Pattern
Environmental Impact
- Carbon Neutral Product – Together with ClimatePartner, Nitro is able to use specific and accurate tools and information to measure their carbon footprint in life cycle from manufacturing to end life of their snowboards. This allows their boards and bindings to be made 100% carbon neutral as they pour efforts into bettering their production process.
