Turbo-Charged Versatility
We’ve poured decades of experience shaping performance snowboards into this all-mountain charger. The Thruster is built on the lightest core in the Nidecker line, with a powerful camber profile and a super dense sintered base that minimises drag. From early morning corduroy to blower pow, it's a versatile speed machine featuring 3D design in the nose for super smooth edge changes. Added carbon dampens the ride even at terminal velocity.
Key Features
- SideKick technology lifts the Thruster's edges at the widest point of the nose for increased float in powder, smoother riding in rough terrain and effortless turn initiation.
- The Thruster features our lightning quick N-9000 sintered base, made from super dense material with a high carbon content to minimise friction. Wax it regularly for race-level performance.
- Full camber spring-loads the board from tip to tail, helping the whole edge maintain contact with the snow and boosting response
Shape + Flex
3D SHAPING - Sidekick
SideKick lifts your edges at the widest points of the nose and tail resulting in increased float in powder, smoother riding in rough terrain and effortless turn initiation.
Construction + Core
Premium Sandwich
A step up from standard sandwich construction that adds carbon stringers for more pop, quicker edge response and improved shock absorption.
Absorbnid Topsheet
An innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. Enjoy a smooth ride with less fatigue.
Triax Plus
Fiberglass is woven in three directions at 45° for maximum stiffness. The result of extensive testing with our riders and engineers, Triax Plus uses different glass densities above and below the core to deliver more consistent torsional flex, better pop, and lightning response.
Light Core
Nidecker's lightest ever core is composed of three wood types, including featherweight paulownia and super responsive poplar. Hardwood beech stringers down the centre enhance the overall strength and boost pop.
ADDED CARBON - Pop Carbon
Carbon fiber is positioned between the inserts and the nose and tail – boosting ollie power and dampening chatter.
Base + Edges
N-9000 Base
A lightning quick sintered base made from super dense material with a high carbon content to minimise friction. Wax it on the regs for race-level performance.
