The mother of all snowboard shapes. Purposeful, focused, and functional, a directionally shaped board will float in the pow, cut through the crust and provide you with a functional tail to rip it up all over the mountain.
Nitro Alternator X Volcom Snowboard
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.

Characteristics
DirectionalShape
ProgressiveWidth
The Progressive Width concept takes the guesswork out of choosing your board. We pre-adjusted each board’s width to its size, providing you with the best length-to-width match, from Standard to Mid-Wide to Wide. Spend less time guessing and more time shredding!
Dual DegressiveSidecut
The Dual Degressive Sidecut blends a smaller radius in the center with two larger ones in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful. Nitro´s most forgiving sidecut.
All-TerrainFlex
Our most versatile flex pattern, combining Nitro’s signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain.
Special Features
Powerlite Core
The highest grade of selected ultra-lightweight poplar wood in our Powerlite core makes for the perfect ride with lots of pop and unmatched strength at a minimum weight.
Reflex Core Profile
A thinner core between your feet on the Reflex Core Profile improves handling and increases torsional flex, allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease.
Bi-Lite Laminates
Our rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board-feel.
Diamond Band
The Diamond Band carbon reinforcement fibers are ultra-strong yet lightweight. Tip-to-tail stringers transfer the rider’s input to help you drive your board and stay in control.
Sintered Speed Formula II Base
Rocket science put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into our sintered base material makes the base surface lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, Speed Formula II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro high-end boards.
