If you’re looking for a great performing snowboard that you can ride anything and everything on the mountain, but you’re on a bit of a tighter budget, then the Nidecker Score is the board you need to look at. Built around a state-of-the-art directional twin shape, the Score’s versatile ride and class-leading performance are a revelation at this price point, embarrassing many boards at a higher price point. The 1cm set back of the stance and innovative Diamond tip shape gives you a little more nose, enabling the front of the board to lift easier in pow and helping cut through chop and crud. However, even though you’ve got that slightly longer length in the nose, the board still feels well-balanced under the feet, so it still delivers a predictable ride, giving you the confidence to improve your riding both out on the hill and through the park. So, if you’re after an easy-riding go-anywhere, do-anything board that isn’t going to break the bank but also won’t compromise on performance, then this could be your perfect choice. Available as board only or as a great value package with Nidecker Muon X binding.
Rider Style
Beginners through to more experienced riders looking for an excellent value all-terrain board.
Shape Overview
The Score’s Directional Twin shape has been designed to deliver the perfect balance of all-terrain versatility and compliant ride. Utilising the innovative Diamond profile tip and tail, which allows the designers to reduce the overall volume of the nose and tail without compromising float, the Score steps up both control and feel while still giving class-leading levels of float in the pow.
Profile
Now, to give the Score its more predictable ride and enhance its versatility even further, Nidecker fits its ride-anything CamRock. This versatile camber profile features rocker zones just outside the insert packs, blending into a flat section between the feet. This combination of rocker and camber results in a solid and stable ride on edge, float in the pow and a hook-free playful feel in the park.
Construction
Internally, the Score is a prime example of that old saying that sometimes less is more. By eschewing headline-grabbing tech, Nidecker has been allowed to focus on getting the things that matter right. Heading this up is the high-quality Fullwood core. Constructed from durable poplar reinforced with beech in the nose and tail, it delivers a poppy and responsive flex through the length. Nidecker creates the structural layers from their exclusive Bi-Ax Plus 90° glass to ensure the Score keeps its trademark predictable torsional flex. This combination of poppy core and softer structural layers delivers a responsive ride that absorbs all the undulations and terrain changes, ensuring a predictable and stress-free ride. To give the board a smooth, fatigue-free ride that keeps you riding all day, Nidecker fits an Absorbnid layer. Absorbnid is an innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations.
Base
To ensure that the Score delivers excellent glide in all conditions, Nidecker fits it with their low maintenance N-5000 extruded base.
