Nidecker Sensor Mons Men's Snowboard
Break free from the chain!
Mons Røisland's signature board is a perfectly honed freestyle weapon. The Sensor Mons is based on the already loaded Sensor Pro board, but is endowed with a more aggressive camber and maximum stiffness. Thanks to this, you will experience charged ollies and precision in jumps and spins. In short, a board made for the precision of the pros.
This freestyle board features a True Twin shape, which gives you the same classic and switch riding characteristics, which is a must when you're tackling Olympic obstacles or tricky backcountry elements. The featherweight core will fly through the air like nothing and give you more agility. So bite into it, claw, break free - just show what you've got!
Specifications & Shape
- Flex: 5/5 – maximum stiffness for power and precision, created for experienced riders and steep descents.
- Destination: resort 4/5, powder 3/5, park 5/5
- True Twin Shape - Symmetrical tip and tail with a centrally positioned stance. The True Twin shape provides an excellent switch riding experience, so you'll appreciate it when riding in the park and landing.
- Camber Pro Profile - The most aggressive camber is more pronounced and moves the contact points a little further out, extending the effective edge. This is a super reactive profile for advanced riders who demand explosive pop, perfect edge hold and a confident feel on the rails.
- 1% For The Planet – Nidecker sends 1% of sales directly to non-profit organizations fighting climate change.
Technology
- Premium Sandwich Construction – The next level of performance and responsiveness. By adding carbon reinforcements, the board has more pop, faster edge response and excellent shock absorption.
- Absorbnid Topsheet - an innovative topsheet was developed to absorb unwanted vibrations and enable a smooth ride.
- 4×2/6 Inserts – this combination of inserts allows you to set your stance to the optimal position and works with all bindings on the market.
- Biax Plus Fiberglass – a standard 90° biaxial lamination that uses a larger amount of fiberglass to aid in energy transfer, resulting in a responsive and stiff board that doesn't lose its playfulness.
- The Light Core - the lightest core from Nidecker consists of three woods - lightweight paulownia and responsive poplar are complemented by beams of hard beech wood that run through the center of the board, strengthening it and giving it even more pop.
- Pop Carbon Plus – carbon fibers running from tip to tail on both sides of the center core. This is appreciated by aggressive riders who demand instant response, tons of pop and stability at high speeds.
- N-9000 Base – A lightning fast sintered base made from carbon nanoparticles. N-9000 has a very dense molecular structure, making it the fastest and hardest base material.
How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead.

Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
