Gear Guide – Nitro Fusion 154, Snowboard Video Review
Mountainwatch | Gear Guide
Our snowboard expert Joe Stanco has been checking out the latest boards from Nitro over the past couple of weeks and in this review he takes the 2021 Fusion, an all-mountain directional tapered board, for a spin in Thredbo.
“The profile of this board is camber between your feet and a little bit of rocker in the nose and tail.,” Joey explains. “The rocker allows you to turn really quick and easy and helps you float in slush and soft snow and the camber really helps you hold when you’re carving. It’s got great pop and stability at speed.”
“This is one of my all-time favourite boards – the perfect do it all snowboard.”
