The Orginal Directional Adventure Seeker
The SMP´s shape and technology provide riders worldwide with an alternative to the more traditional shapes. In addition, it still provides the support and technology to conquer every marked and unmarked trail on the map. The combination of Cam-Out Camber and Directional set-back shape allows you to descend the steepest of runs with ease, while the early rise in the nose and tail offers a forgiving surf-like float. The Sintered Speed Formula HD Base will give you plenty of speed to escape the unknown snow yeti you might encounter off the marked trail and get to that hidden pow stash first every time! If you are looking for an affordable all-mountain snowboard with a medium and forgiving flex, equipped with a top-shelf speed base, the SMP is your best bet!
Characteristics
Directional Shape
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.
Cam-Out Camber Camber
Our Cam-Out Camber is basically a Trüe Camber with early and smooth transitions into tip and tail. The result is a fun and responsive board that turns on the spot and is forgiving, even after that 713.5° landing!
Mid-Wide Width
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.
Dual Degressive Sidecut
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.
Power Pods
Overlaying a tighter sidecut radius in the center of the board with a larger one towards tip and tail is creating our exclusive Powerpods: They make the board super reactive and fast turning once it’s put on edge – while keeping it easy to control if ridden with less dynamics. As a bonus, you get extended board width under the bindings, resulting in additional edge control, especially on hard and icy surfaces as well as simply less toe and heel drag.
Powercore
Our Powercore uses tip-to-tail poplar wood, providing lightweight strength and the perfect blend of flex, response and feel.
Standard Core Profile
Like a well-designed bow, the Standard Core Profile has a thicker part in the middle - from first insert to last – while thinning gradually towards the contact points, providing the ultimate in speed stability and edge control.
Bi-Lite Laminates
Our rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board-feel.
Sintered Speed Formula HD Base
Our Sintered Speed Formula HD Base defines the industry standard when it comes to maximum abrasion resistance, increased wax absorption and higher on-snow speeds.
