News
Nitro has been building snowboards since 1990 and their reputation is built on two things: bombproof build quality and boots that fit like nothing else in the sport. Their boards carry that same engineering-first approach — less concerned with being the trend of the season, more concerned with building gear that holds up across multiple seasons of serious riding.
Nitro's boot range is a particular strength and one reason many riders come to Nitro in the first place. We heat mould every Nitro boot free with every purchase at our Richmond store. If you've struggled to find a boot that fits and holds your heel properly, come in and try Nitro before writing off the category.
Here's our take on the 2027 Nitro board range and what's in stock.
Nitro Team 2027 — $899.99
The most popular Nitro board we sell year after year. Medium flex, versatile camber profile, works on groomers and off-piste without specialising in anything. Named after Nitro's team riders because it's the board the whole team reaches for on a normal riding day. This is the Nitro equivalent of the YES Basic or the Jones Mountain Twin — the reliable, do-everything, daily-driver option that most riders should seriously consider before getting distracted by more specialised shapes.
For Australian conditions, the Team handles the morning groom, the afternoon slush, the occasional pow day and the inevitable icy spring groomer with equal reliability. Not the most exciting board in the range, but one of the most consistently useful ones.
Nitro Team Pro 2027 — $999.99
The Team Pro steps up from the Team with stiffer flex and refined construction. For riders who've been on the Team and want more response and performance without changing the shape they know works for them. The pro model of the most popular board in the Nitro range — built for riders who want to push harder.
Nitro Alternator FX 2027 — $999.99
The Alternator FX is Nitro's directional freeride board — stiffer, more set back, built for riders who spend most of their time charging off-piste terrain. Where the Team is versatile and all-mountain, the Alternator FX is focused. It handles Australian variable snow and firm groomed runs with authority because the positive camber underfoot gives decisive edge engagement. For experienced riders who know what they want and want a board that delivers it consistently.
Also available as a splitboard — the Alternator FX Splitboard ($1,399.99) is one of the better touring splits in the range for riders who want freeride performance both up and down the mountain.
Nitro Fintwin 2027 — $799.99
The Fintwin is Nitro's twin-tip freestyle board — softer flex, symmetrical shape, built for park, street and freestyle riding. For riders who prioritise tricks and creative riding over freeride performance. The accessible price point makes it a strong option for riders who are progressing in freestyle without wanting to spend top dollar on a pro model.
Nitro Drop Women's 2027 — $849.99
The Drop is Nitro's women's all-mountain board — directional, accessible flex, confidence-inspiring profile. For women who want a Nitro board that works across the whole resort, from beginner to intermediate level, without demanding precision or committing to a stiff freeride setup. Strong value at the price point.
