Description
The 2026 Nitro Banker performs just like its namesake and was designed to perform in banked slaloms, hauling on groomers, and smashing through powder pillows. A favourite of both Nitro team riders and the everyday snowboard enthusiast alike, the lightweight shape, fast base, and snappy responsive core make riding through any sort of terrain a breeze and with the Trüe camber profile, directional shape and fastest base that Nitro makes, it is a perfect board for the freeride fanatic that craves high speeds and deep carve. If you are entering a banked slalom event, it would be foolish to consider anything but the Banker.
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: 7/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual 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: Trüe Camber
The original camber type, unmatched for strong snap and powerful response. Each True Camber board in the Nitro range has its 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: Mid-Wide
Mid-wide boards offer slightly increased width, reducing toe and heel drag, enhancing flotation, and boosting confidence when leaning into powerful carves.
Sidecut: Progressive Sidecut
A larger radius sidecut in the nose that blends into a tighter radius in the tail, keeping your turns fast and catch-free.
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
