Nitro Slash 2022/23

Nitro is one of the brands displaying the broadest splitboard quiver in the market. The Nitro Slash is surely one of the most fun boards we have ridden over the past few years.  At 266 mm on the waist for the 156 cm length in a tapered directional shape, the float is excellent, feeling awesome on powder. Traditional camber guarantees stability and solidness in variable conditions, yet it’s not the type of board you’d take to shred big lines where total control is a must; this is seemingly due to a sweeter flex than most boards in its category. It does respond really well when you press on it but you can feel some small vibrations when catching the first chairs to ride on hardpack. Having said this, the Nitro Slash is a great carver when the conditions are right, thanks to an easy entry in the turn that makes it an easy ride, fun to steer.
