Product details: Tested product Nitro Vertical 23/24 Splitboard (incl. Skins + Pucks) Men
The Nitro Vertical Splitboard is at home in high alpine terrain. It combines the best of both worlds, on the ascent it behaves like a touring ski due to its narrow outline, but downhill it offers the fun you expect from a snowboard.
Because every gram counts on the way up, Nitro focuses on weight with the Vertical Splitboard. The directional splitboard shape is narrow and reduces the overall weight of the setup and friction on the snow, resulting in a power-saving, faster ascent to the summit. In addition, the longer nose and lightweight setback provides a balanced float distribution that allows you to surf the pristine powder. Special edge geometry saves 40% weight over standard edges, while the lightweight topsheet construction reduces weight by 60% and another 20% on the sintered Speed Formula II base.
The secret ingredient of the Vertical Splitboard is Nitro's super lightweight Powerlite Core. Koroyd, a patented tubular cell structure made of 95% air and a blend of selected low-density woods, provides a powerful feel and plenty of speed. The Diamond Laminate carbon fibre layup further reduces weight while providing precision and responsiveness, making the board lively and fast.

Fiber Seal Technology protects the Vertical Splitboard Skins from water absorption, keeping the skin light and maintaining good grip and low friction even in changing conditions. Smart Glue is a solvent-free adhesive that ensures better grip in wet and cold conditions. In addition, skins with Smart Glue are easier to handle than traditional skins.
