The all-new team driven Alternator x Volcom has been designed from the ground up to deliver one of the best all-terrain riding experiences available. Combining technology from across Nitro’s high performance collection, the Alternator x Volcom delivers a stunning board that offers class-leading performance in the pow as well as across the whole mountain, a true quiver killer of a board. The new advanced directional shape and progressive width allow for more float and surface area for turns, sprays, and stomping, while the high kick in the tail allows for effortless switch pow riding. The specific blend of Trüe Camber, Reflex Core Profile, and Diamond Band provides natural flex and board support allowing you to maximize any situation. In addition, the Bi-Lite Laminates and Powerlite Core will provide a response and pop on and off natural or man-made features that professionals demand. Finally, the Sintered Speed Formula II will give you a new sense of speed that will keep you up at night—built specifically for those looking for the best All-Terrian Freestyle snowboard the world has ever seen.
Rider Style
Riders from avaned to pro-level looking for a high-performance all-terrain board that will kill it in the pow equally as much as across the whole mountain.
Shape Overview
The Alternator x Volcom’s advanced directional shape is designed to deliver the perfect blend of powder performance and all-terrain versatility. The fuller and longer nose profile gives outstanding lift and float whilst giving the board an uncanny ability to blast through chop and crud. The wider riding platform adds extra stability and float whilst the shigher kicked tail allows the board to ride swith effortlessly
Profile: True Camber
The Alternator x Volcom’s True Camber dissipates the rider's energy more evenly along the board's edge length giving a more stable and responsive ride as the edge is engaged along its full length.
Dual Degressive sidecut
In terms of sidecut, the Alternator x Volcom utilises the advanced Dual Degressive sidecut. This sidecut blends a smaller radius in the centre with two larger ones in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful—Nitro's most forgiving sidecut.
Construction
Heading up the Alternator x Volcom’s high-quality construction is the Powerlite core. This lightweight tip-to-tail poplar wood core delivers the perfect balance of performance, snap and response. To ensure that it provides the perfect flex for the Alternator’s versatile performance, it features Nitro's Reflex core profiling. This mills the core thinner between the feet, improving handling and increasing torsional flex, allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease.
Now to give the Alternator its balanced ride it combines structural layers formed from torsionally softer bi-ax glass but reinforced with tip to tail carbon bands. These two contradicting materials result in a board that is sotfter torsionally allowing you to really compress the camber to drive the sidecut but poppy and powerful in the length to drive and power the board.
Base
Sintered 2.0 Speed Formula Base. This advanced sintered base has nanotech wax formula infused during the sintering process. This makes the base lightening fast in all snow conditions.
