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 Highlander Snowboard
Nitro Highlander Snowboard
Built For Speed with Lightweight Precision
Nitro´s Highlander snowboard offers the smoothest, fastest, and most responsive ride you will ever experience - while maintaining a control level that allows you to have that surfy ride at any moment. The addition of Antiphase Technology enables the board to absorb vibration differently than you have ever experienced before, creating a smooth ride no matter the conditions. The Highlander´s exclusive KOROYD® core technology reduces the overall weight and helps absorb the remaining chatter, allowing you to cut through chop like butter. The TRÜE Camber and Diamond Laminates provide unparalleled response and precision to maximize your focus when needed. At the same time, the Progressive sidecut allows for high-speed turns and supreme edge hold on any snow condition. The Highlander´s pro-caliber lightweight speed, power, and precision are the dream machine every experienced rider desires.

Characteristics
DirectionalShape
Mid-WideWidth
Mid-Wide boards provide that little extra in width for less toe and heel drag, additional flotation and that extra bit of confidence when leaning into these power carves on icy slopes.
ProgressiveSidecut
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.
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
KOROYD PowerLite Core
With the KOROYD Powerlite Core, Nitro pioneered the latest in core technology: Utilizing co-extruded miniature tubes, vertically aligned and welded, with unique energy absorption properties, KOROYD is approximately 70% lighter than standard balsa wood, with no loss in strength or flex. This engineered core is utilized in the tip and tail areas for a smoother ride, reduced swing mass and overall 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.
Diamond Laminates
Well-balanced layers of carbon fiber establish a new level in performance. Our Diamond Laminates provide the ultimate in pop and liveliness for a smooth, powerful, and effortless ride.
Antiphase™ Technology
Unlike conventional damping, which relies on rubber elastomers to reduce vibrations, Antiphase™ is a multidirectional composite layer bonded to a non-Newtonian material, which is placed between the tip and binding. It disrupts the natural frequency of an oscillating snowboard, stopping vibrations which otherwise amplify and end up as tip chatter. Ride faster 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.
