21/22 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Nitro Vertical Splitboard is an ultralight, fast splitboard for high-alpine backcountry riders, realising light weight and vibration damping at once through Diamond laminate and a Koroyd composite core. A centred Speed Formula 2 base and Nitro's premium binding connection system maximise both ride-up efficiency and ride-down performance, and with market-leading light weight and top speed it's strongly recommended to advanced backcountry riders.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
A camber profile adopting a centred Speed Formula 2 base, with a speed-focused, high-performance camber layout designed for high speed and powerful edge grip.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Topsheet material and edges are reduced for lightness, yet it provides a stiff, highly responsive flex that copes with high-speed riding and alpine conditions.

What the review liked
- ✓An ultralight design realised with Diamond laminate and a Koroyd composite core makes it one of the lightest splitboards on the market
- ✓Adopting a centred Speed Formula 2 base realises top-tier speed among splitboards
- ✓Premium binding connection systems including Nitro tip-and-tail locks and T7075 forged aluminium hooks secure safety and convenience
- ✓The Nitro Koala skin attachment system and pre-cut skin support maximise touring efficiency
What the review found lacking
- —Since light weight was achieved by reducing edge and topsheet material, some durability may be compromised
- —Its high-alpine/backcountry-specific design gives it low utility across varied terrain such as park and freestyle
