24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The 2026 Nitro Nomad Splitboard is a directional splitboard designed for riders wanting to get into backcountry touring at a reasonable price. A Cam Out camber construction and mid-wide shape give it excellent powder float and turn forgiveness, and splitboard-specific hardware plus the Koala skin system provide a practical touring experience.
A proven model kept in the lineup for eight years, it suits intermediate and advanced riders who want to explore the nature beyond the lifts.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A Cam Out Camber construction with traditional camber underfoot and Early Lift (rocker) at the nose and tail tips — a hybrid profile. It's forgiving when linking turns and makes kick turns easier when skinning up.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A Split Grip core profile thickens the section between the bindings, providing ample support and responsiveness when skinning up. A tip-to-tail poplar wood core makes it strong and solid, with a medium flex suited to backcountry touring.

What the review liked
