23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Nitro Prime Raw 158cm is an all-round board designed for beginners, easy and fun to ride on any terrain thanks to a soft flex and a rocker profile. It performs respectably across varied settings including park, powder and tree runs, but a lack of high-speed stability and edge hold makes it unsuitable for intermediate and above riders.
It's a board suited to riders just starting snowboarding or building confidence.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Rocker
A board with a rocker outline profile that helps maintain float in powder and provides a soft, approachable ride overall.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft flex that twists and bends very easily, providing approachable riding. It feels washy at speed, and presses and butters in the park are easy to perform.
