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 Snowboard
Nitro Alternator Snowboard
The All-Terrain Freestyle Powerhouse
The Alternator has instantly become a team favorite because of its capable backcountry freestyle snowboard attributes – Designed for those looking to step up their game from the marked trails to the backcountry with a classic directional silhouette shape with an oversized width and loads of power under the hood —the brainchild of all-mountain maniacs Griffin Siebert and Tommy Delago.

Characteristics
DirectionalShape
ProgressiveWidth
A larger radius in the front, blended into a tighter one towards the tail: The Progressive Sidecut makes accelerating out of turns a breeze, while maintaining a catch-free nose area.
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.
