Type: Freeride/All Mountain

Flex: 7/10

Profile: Back-Seat Camber, Rockered Nose
Rocker in the nose leading into traditional camber by the back foot. Float effortlessly through powder and lock-in on groomers.

Shape: Directional Twin
A directional board has a nose that is longer than the snowboard's tail, providing greater control on steep sections and less effort in the powder. The board's flex is also asymmetrical with the tail usually stiffer for better turns and stability. The nose is often made less stiff so you get a better float. The stance of the board is more towards the tail, the amount of which is indicated by inches. Directional boards can be driven in both directions, but his strength lies in driving the preferred side.

Top: Digi-Print Topsheet
We digitally print our topsheets using water-based inks that use up to 90% less solvents than traditional inks, and don’t use any lacquer, giving our boards a beautiful matte finish. This is one of the first things you’ll probably notice when you pick up a Niche snowboard. Most snowboard makers cover their topsheets in a thick, toxic lacquer to add shine. This is not only toxic to the environment; it’s unhealthy for people working in the factory. We use a lacquer-free topsheet material, which makes our boards slightly lighter than other snowboards

Base: Sinterd Base
Fast, strong and smooth- like a good whiskeyResin: Snappy Sap Bio Resin
More elastic and snappier than normal resin dampens vibrations and extremely high adhesion properties to help keep your board from delaminating

Edge: 2 x Traction Bumps
Extra edge contact points to give your board more edge control and stability, especially in icy conditions
Works like the serrated edge of a knife fixes the ‘squirrely’ feel that some reverse camber boards can have.
