The Nitro Santoku is a true utility knife of a snowboard that designed to give you all the support, flex and fun you need to ride all over the mountain. Designed alongside Elias Elhardt, he wanted a board that is good to cruise and carve on, but also is able to handle the biggest lines thrown at it. As a True Camber, all terrain twin, it also performs incredibly well in the park by giving you a softer nose and tail for butters but stiff throughout the core giving you response when carving and pop when taking off the lip of a jump. Anyone looking for a super fun to ride, all terrain freestyle snowboard, the Santoku is for you; every hit is a fun hit, every turn is a fun turn.
Board Type: All Mountain
All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. They typically feature a directional or directional twin shape, with a medium flex for a balance of stability while still being playful. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything.
Flex: 6/10 (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: Intermediate
Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.
Shape: All Terrain Twin
Exactly the same whether you're riding switch or regular, this allows you to push your switch riding and land comfortably regardless of which way you're facing and the elongated tip and tail make All Mountain riding even more accessable.
Camber Type: True 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: Whiplash Core Profile
The Whiplash Core Profile reduces thickness of the board between the inserts while adding more outside your feet. This gives maximum ollie power, while still maintaining flex.
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: PowerCore ll
A performance driven core with tip to tail Poplar wood and additional Beech Wood stringers. The result: Unmatched strength, smooth response, and a tonne of snap.
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.
