Who is the Nitro Nomad for?

The Nomad is best suited for beginner-advanced riders weighing 70-90 kg. It rides best in entry, all-mountain, touring, for splitboarders who want one board that handles these conditions.

Available Sizes

Size Best suited for
156cm Average height, versatile all-rounder
161cm Taller riders, more stability and float
165cm Tall or heavier riders, maximum float and drive

Choose a smaller size for a more playful, manoeuvrable feel in tight terrain. Go larger for more float in deep snow and higher-speed stability on longer descents.

Ride Feel

The directional outline combined with a full rocker produces predictable, confidence-inspiring turn initiation across a wide range of backcountry conditions. At flex 6, this board balances edge hold and forgiveness — responsive enough for demanding terrain without punishing imperfect technique. The construction keeps the board responsive underfoot without adding unnecessary swing weight for the way up.

Verdict: Nitro Nomad

The Nitro Nomad 156cm is Nitro’s all-mountain touring specialist — flex 6 (softer than the Doppelganger), directional, and built for riders who prioritise long-day efficiency and variable condition versatility over raw freeride performance. For 60–78 kg riders who tour to explore rather than to push limits.
