All performance and technical specifications of this snowboard meet all manufacturing standards and the product is covered by the standard warranty.

Nidecker poured decades of experience shaping performance snowboards into this all-mountain charger. Introducing the Thruster. Combining elements of their previous best-selling models, the Platinum and Rave, with the latest in 3D design, the Thruster is made for aggressive high speed carving. It’s built on the lightest core in the Nidecker line, with a powerful camber profile and a super dense N-9000 sintered base that minimises drag. This thing is blazingly fast, that's for sure.

SideKick tips raise the wide points off the snow, making it smoother to engage the edges and helping the nose plow through deep snow and crud. Added carbon and an Absorbnid topsheet deliver a stable, chatter-free ride even when your eyes are watering. The name of the game here is control. It’s a missile, sure, but it’s laser-guided.

Shape & Profile

• Directional Shape - With over fifty years of proven performance, directional shapes have a nose longer than the tail and excel at float, glide, carving and stability in variable snow.
• Camber Profile - Positive Camber is the bedrock for performance snowboards. Its extra grip and powerful response have made it the default choice for riders looking for optimum carving performance. The secret to our advanced camber is the addition of 8 to 10 cm flat transitions at the contact points, delivering the ultimate in precision, edge hold and stability.

Technologies

• Premium Sandwich Construction - the construction of the next level increases the performance and response of standard Sandwich production. By adding advanced materials like carbon and kevlar, the board gets more pop and better shock absorption.
• Absorbnid Topsheet - an innovative topsheet has been developed to absorb unwanted vibrations and allow for 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
• Triax Plus Fiberglass - the result of extensive testing with Nidecker riders and engineers, the triax laminate is oriented at 45° to the board and contains different lamination densities. This provides consistent torsional flex, better pop and greater reactivity in every turn.
• Light Wood Core - the lightest core - with 3 different types of wood; is the perfect combination of paulownia for lightness, poplar for pop and sensitivity, and beech wood bundles along the edges to increase core durability, pop and edge impact protection.
• N-9000 Base - base made of carbon nanoparticles, N-9000 has a very dense molecular structure, which makes it Nidecker's fastest and hardest base material.
• Pop Carbon - strategically placed carbon fibers for an even more reactive board, better pop and stiffness, which are features you'll appreciate when riding more aggressively.
• Exclusive SideKick technology - SideKick raises the edges at the widest points of the nose and tail, which results in increased buoyancy in powder, a smoother ride in difficult terrain and trouble-free turning.
• Matte finish
