Snowboard - Nitro Quiver Banker 156 The Banker was created for Banked Slalom and the result is an incredibly fast snowboard that is very responsive edge to edge!
It is the ultimate board for banked slaloms, but it’s also powerful on the piste thanks to its slightly longer nose and aggresive sidecut. The Banker has the Trüe Camber-Profile with Sintered Base Formula II and a tight sidecut at the tail which makes it quick and easy to maneuver. The Banker is the only snowboard you need!
Behind the board are Nitro rider Bryan Fox, who have long wanted to have a snowboard that is his first choice for Banked Slalom.
The fastest board in the Quiver series, a real winner's board!
The Banker is part of the Nitro Quiver Series, a small collection which experiments with different shapes and profiles. The line was developed by Nitro riders Austin Smith and Bryan Fox. The board is waxed and tuned at the factory, ready for the slopes! See the video below where Nitro presents the Banker.

Freeride: 10/10 All Mountain: 10/10 Freestyle: 5/10 Flex: All Terrain 8/10 Our most versatile flex pattern, combining Nitro’s signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain. The scale is built on the principle that 1 is "Soft and Playful" while 10 is "Hard and Responsive". Rider Level: Average-Advanced Shape: Directional: Longer nose and a reinforced tail to make it easier to initiate turns. Progressive Sidecut: A larger radius in the front, blended into a tighter one towards the tail: The progressive sidecut makes accelerating out of turns a breeze, while maintaining a catch-free nose area. Profile: Trüe Camber: Trüe Camber is good old standard camber, which provides the stability, and pop many shreds can ́t live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivalled by any other camber design. Our Trüe Camber varies between board models because each board is specifically designed for a certain terrain or type of riding, for example the Trüe Camber in our Pantera has a larger height for maximum response, while the Trüe Camber in our freestyle boards are lower to provide you with a more freestyle friendly flex, without losing the support and trust you need for stomping landings. Camber is Camber there is no point in over complicating it! Construction: Powercore II: The Powercore II is a tip-to-tail poplar wood core with additional beech wood stringers for unrivalled strength, smooth response and insane snap. Bi-Lite Laminates: Our rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board- feel. Reflex Core Profile: A thinner core profile between your feet improves handling and increases torsional flex, allowing you to steer your board through a turn with ease. Sintered Speed Formula II Base: Rocket science put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into our sintered base material makes the base surface lightning fast in all snow conditions. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, SPEED FORMULA II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro high-end boards. Wax: All NITRO boards are factory-tuned with Kandahars 100% Natural Speed Wax, a fully Bio-degradable wax made of renewable resources.
