Nitro Optisym Snowboard 2022
The Optisym is a new addition to the Nitro collection for winter 21/22 and is aimed at riders looking for a high-performance board that can not only destroy the whole mountain but also turn it into one giant fun park. Built around an advanced blunt twin chassis utilising a deeper heelside sidecut, the Optisym delivers that perfect combination of on-slope performance with freestyle balance and control, ensuring that no matter what or where you ride, this is one board that's going to feel entirely at home. Now there's no point in having that state of the art shape if the Optisym can't back it up with performance, but thanks to the advanced construction, that's not an issue with this board.Utilising the Whiplash profiled Powercore II featuring the all-new Powerwall technology, freestyle
friendly Bi-Lite laminates and park proof Premium extruded FH base, the Optisym has all the performance you could ever need. So if you're after a board that perfectly blends the characteristics of a freestyle board with the all-terrain versatility of an all-mountain board, then the new Optisym could just be your perfect board.Rider Style Freestyle riders looking for the ultimate high-performance freestyle board that delivers outstanding control, response and feel over the whole mountain.Shape OverviewThe Optisym’s state of the art balanced twin chassis features a complex asymmetric sidecut. This innovative technology modifies the sidecut by adding a deeper profile on the heelside edge, offsetting the bodies inability to power up the heel edge to the same degree as the toe edge. This
results in a more efficient overall ride, inspiring you to push the board and ride to the limit, all without compromising the freestyle balance of the board. To ensure the Optisym offers as much stability as possible and allows you to crank it through turns without worrying about toe or heel drag, it utilises a mid-wide riding platform.Profile: True CamberCam-Out Camber is a traditional camber with early and smooth transitions into tip andtail. Those early rise tips allow snow to flow under the nose, reduce drag, and ensure the board comes onto the plane quickly and easily. The regular camber allows the rider to power up the sidecut across its entire length, creating a stable and reassuring ride on edge.Dual Degressive sidecutIn terms of sidecut, the Optisym utilises the advanced
Dual Degressive sidecut. This sidecut blends a smaller radius in the centre with two larger ones in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful—Nitro's most forgiving sidecut.ConstructionHeading up the Optisym’s high-quality construction is the Powercore II. This is a tip-to-tail poplar wood core with additional beech wood stringers. This combination delivers the perfect balance ofstrength, smooth response and insane snap. Nitro then mill the core with their Whiplash core profiling to give the board its park riding characteristics. This advanced profiling reduces thickness between the feet to give the board a more predictable flex through the centre whilst adding thickness outside the bindings for added pop and pressing performance. Now to give the Optisym its freestyle flex,
Nitro form the structural layers from their playful Bi-Lite glass. This torsionally softer creates a playful yet responsive ride, perfect for this type of board. To enhance the Optisym’s freestyle credentials even further, it utilises Nitro's new Ureshred sidewalls. This advanced Urethane sidewall helps dampen the edges and increases sidewall strength to resist impacts. The heelside edge is then boosted with the Asym specific Powerwall, which beefs up the size and strength of the sidewall, allowing you to get onto and off the heel edge quicker and more efficiently. Now add the more robust and durable Railkiller edges, which are more resistant to damage, and you have the perfect construction for a high-performance all-terrain freestyle board.Baseextruded FH Base. This durable, low
maintenance base is perfect for urban and rail focussed boards as it takes loads of abuse and is easy to repair.
