Nidecker Thruster 2024 All Mountain, Directional, Camber. $580 147 150 153 156 159 162W
We’ve poured decades of experience shaping performance snowboards into this all-mountain charger. Introducing the Thruster. Combining elements of our previous best-selling models, the Platinum and Rave, with the latest in 3D design, the Thruster is made for aggressive high speed carving. It’s built on the lightest core in the Nidecker line, with a powerful camber profile and a super dense N-9000 sintered base that minimises drag. Trust us when we say this thing is blazingly fast.
SideKick tips raise the wide points off the snow, making it smoother to engage the edges and helping the nose plow through deep snow and crud. Added carbon and an Absorbnid topsheet deliver a stable, chatter-free ride even when your eyes are watering. The name of the game here is control. It’s a missile, sure, but it’s laser-guided.
N-9000 Base. A lightning quick sintered base made from super dense material with a high carbon content to minimize friction. Wax it on the regs for race-level performance.
3D Shaping Sidekick SideKick lifts your edges at the widest points of the nose and tail resulting in increased float in powder, smoother riding in rough terrain and effortless turn initiation.
Pop Carbon. Carbon fiber is positioned between the inserts and the nose and tail – boosting ollie power and dampening chatter.
Triax Plus. Fiberglass is woven in three directions at 45° for maximum stiffness. The result of extensive testing with our riders and engineers, Triax Plus uses different glass densities above and below the core to deliver more consistent torsional flex, better pop, and lightning response.
Light Core Woodcore. Our lightest ever core is composed of three wood types, including featherweight paulownia and super responsive poplar. Hardwood beech stringers down the centre enhance the overall strength and boost pop.
Absorbnid Topsheet. An innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. Enjoy a smooth ride with less fatigue.
Premium Sandwich Construction. A step up from our standard sandwich construction that adds carbon stringers for more pop, quicker edge response and improved shock absorption.
