Nidecker Alpha APX Snowboard

Nidecker Alpha APX Snowboard

The Alpha APX sits firmly at the top of the all-mountain food chain. Nideckers flagship Bio Series model takes the innovative natural outline of the regular Alpha and enhances the construction with more carbon, a race-grade base and premium sidewalls. The result? Fast, fluid turns on any terrain. The APX's explosive power can handle the biggest features – in and out of resort – while its rockered nose generates increased lift and seamless edge transitions.The Alpha APX's 3D spooned nose and pinched-in tail give the board incredible glide and natural float.The upgraded sidewall construction delivers power into the edge faster and maximises grip – this thing corners like it's on rails. Nidecker's Surfy CamRock profile is spring-loaded between the feet but extends the nose rocker to help the Alpha APX mow down bumps and plow through deep snow with ease.

Features:

• Flex: 3/5 - Versatile and responsive. A mid-stiff flex is lively underfoot and stable at high speed – perfect for confident all-mountain riders.
• Surfy CamRock - Features extended rocker at the nose and regular camber through the rest of the board. Together with a shorter tail, it allows you to glide over bumps or pow and initiate turns off the back foot for a unique, surf-like ride.
• Power Rails - An exclusive Nidecker construction inspired by surfboards. The topsheet is wrapped over a rounded wood core to meet a thin sidewall. It's a beautiful finish that's even more stunning to ride, delivering instant drive through the edge
• Absorbnid - An innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. Enjoy a smooth ride with less fatigue.
• 4x2/6 - 6 rows of inserts at 2 cm intervals gives you maximum choice of stance width and works with any binding on the market.
• Triax Plus - Fiberglass is woven in three directions at 45° for max stiffness. The result of extensive testing, Triax Plus uses different glass densities above and below the core to deliver more consistent torsional flex, better pop, and lightning response.
• Light Core - An ultra lightweight core based on a lively combination of poplar and paulownia. Hardwood beech stringers down the centre enhance the overall strength and boost pop.
• N-9000 Sintered - A lightning quick sintered base made from super dense material with a high carbon content to minimise friction. Wax it on the regs for race-level performance.
• Pop Carbon Plus - Pop Carbon is deployed on both sides of the core and from tip to tail, beefing up the flex. Ideal for aggressive riders who want snappy edge response, tons of pop and a smooth ride at high speeds.
• Drop Out - The Drop Out is derived from the shape of a bird of prey's tail. It generates more control when up on edge, but also allows for extra agility and deep, tight turns.
• Evolution nose - Nidecker's 3D curved nose helps the board roll smoothly from edge to edge, creating a natural, surf-like flow through each turn.
