Introducing The Trippy All-Terrain Powerhouse!
Introducing the most capable backcountry freestyle snowboard the mountain has ever seen, the new Alternator, designed for those looking for a new directional shape and team-tested flex to step up their game from the marked trails to the backcountry. This new board is purposefully designed and equipped to let your mind run wild, no matter the terrain or conditions.
The new Alternator x Volcom is the result of listing to the Team Riders and focusing their experiences into a board that offers the best all-terrain ride on the market for any experienced rider. The Nitro Team and Volcom family have been avid riders of the Team Pro, the Banker, and Team snowboards for years. They wanted to take the best of all these boards and create a board that offers better performance on deeper days while maintaining that everyday ride feel. Dare we say a true Quiver Killer? The new 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 True Camber, Reflex Core Profile, and Diamond Band provides natural flex and board support; Nitro is renowned for 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 nightbuilt specifically for those looking for the best All-Terrian Freestyle snowboard the world has ever seen.
Camber Trüe Camber
Trüe Camber is good old standard camber which provides the stability and pop many shreds can´t live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivalled by any other camber design. Our Trüe Camber varies between board models because each board is specifically designed for a certain terrain or type of riding for example the Trüe Camber in our Pantera has a larger height for maximum response while the Trüe Camber in our freestyle boards are lower to provide you with a more freestyle friendly flex without losing the support and trust you need for stomping landings. Camber is Camber there is no point in over complicating it!
Shape Directional
Powerlite Core
The highest grade of ultra-lightweight poplar wood in our Powerlite core makes for the perfect ride with lots of pop and unmatched strength at a minimum weight.
Reflex Core Profile
A thinner core profile between your feet improves handling and increases torsional flex allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease. • DIAMOND BAND
Sintered Speed Formula II Base
Made from the same compound as our regular SPEED FORMULA II Base the DAMAST version fuses together two died color version for a look as sharp as your Damast steel dagger. Each board is unique and no two bases are exactly identical.
