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 Jared Elston, Griffin Siebert, and Tommy Delago.
Flex:7/10
Shape: Directional - With over fifty years of proven performance, directional shapes have a nose longer than the tail and excel at float, glide, carving and stability in variable snow
Bend: Trüe Camber - Trüe Camber is good old standard camber, which provides the stability, and pop many shreds can´t live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivalled by any other camber design. Our Trüe Camber varies between board models because each board is specifically designed for a certain terrain or type of riding, for example the Trüe Camber in our Pantera has a larger height for maximum response, while the Trüe Camber in our freestyle boards are lower to provide you with a more freestyle friendly flex, without losing the support and trust you need for stomping landings. Camber is Camber there is no point in over complicating it!
Core: Powerlite - The highest grade of ultra-lightweight poplar wood in our Powerlite core makes for the perfect ride with lots of pop and unmatched strength at a minimum weight.
Fibreglass: Bi-Lite Laminates and Diamond Band- Well-balanced layers of carbon fiber establish a new level in performance. More snap and liveliness provide a smooth, powerful and effortless ride. Carbon reinforcement fibers are ultra-strong yet lightweight. The Diamond band's carbon reinforcement fibers are ultra-strong yet lightweight. Tip-to-tail stringers transfer rider ’s input to help you drive your board and stay in control.
Base: Sintered Speed Formula II Base - Rocket science put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into our sintered base material makes the base sur face lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, SPEED FORMULA II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro high-end boards.
