Alternator X Volcom Men’s All-Mountain Snowboard. 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 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. 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. 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. All-Terrain Flex: Nitro’s most versatile flex pattern, combining their signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain. Snowboard Type : All Mountain. Range : 160 to 179. Best Use : All Mountain Snowboarding, Snowsports.
