Nitro Alternator x Volcom Snowboard | 2026

This board has become a Volcom and Nitro team favorite for a good reason: it is the most capable backcountry freestyle snowboard the mountain has ever seen. The 2026 Alternator x Volcom is for those looking for a progressive width directional shape and team-tested flex to step up their game from the marked trails to the backcountry. This board is purposefully designed and equipped to let your mind run wild, regardless of terrain or conditions.

Features

• All-Terrain [All Mountain Pop] - Our most versatile flex pattern, combining Nitro’s signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain.
• Directional Shape - The mother of all snowboard shapes. Purposeful, focused, and functional, a directionally shaped board will float in the pow, cut through the crust and provide you with a functional tail to rip it up all over the mountain.
  
• Dual Degressive Sidecut - The Dual Degressive Sidecut blends a smaller radius in the center with two larger ones in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful. Nitro´s most forgiving sidecut.
• Bi-Lite Laminates - Our rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board-feel.
• Powerlite Core - The highest grade of selected 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 between your feet on the Reflex Core Profile improves handling and increases torsional flex, allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease.
• Diamond Band - The Diamond Band carbon reinforcement fibers are ultra-strong yet lightweight. Tip-to-tail stringers transfer the rider’s input to help you drive your board and stay in control.
• Sintered Speed Formula II Base - Rocket science put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into our sintered base material makes the base surface lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, Speed Formula II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro high-end boards.
• Progressive Width - A larger radius in the front, blended into a tighter one towards the tail: The Progressive Sidecut makes accelerating out of turns a breeze, while maintaining a catch-free nose area.
• Binding Compatibility - 2x4
