Snowboard - Nitro Stiletto x Drew Hickens 166
The Nitro Guest Shaper Series gives visionary snowboarders the chance to create their own snowboard. No rules, no limits, whatever wild idea you have it’s fair game. First up is Drew Hickens with his modern take on the classic powder legend, the Retro. Meet the Stiletto: one of Nitro’s most specialized powder boards ever.
Drew Hickens, an OG team rider, whom took part in the design of the original Retro. Now, with years of experience and modern technology, he’s taken it to the next level. The Stiletto features a wider swallowtail, designed for maximum float in deep powder and precise control on the back foot. At 166 cm with a progressive sidecut, this board is a powder monster. It’s fast, stable, and responsive, with Cam-out Camber that allows for aggressive, carving turns. And with its ultra-fast base, it leaves the old Retro in the dust.
The Stiletto is part of the limited-edition Nitro Guest Shaper Series, with just one unique model released each year. It’s the ultimate playground for riders to turn their boldest ideas into the perfect snowboard.
The board is waxed and tuned at the factory, ready for the mountain!
Rider:
Freeride - It's a fast powder board with really good float that allows you to make aggressive turns on both piste and off piste.
Freeride: 10/10
All Mountain: 8/10
Freestyle: 0/10
Flex: All Terrain 7/10
Our most versatile flex pattern, combining Nitro’s signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain. Flex 1/10 is soft and playful whilst 10/10 is stiff and responsive.
Rider level:
Intermediate -Advanced
Shape:
Tapered Swallowtail: Big nose and short tail which gives you a good float in pow but at the same time able to make aggressive 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:
Cam-Out Camber: Our Cam-Out Camber is basically a Trüe Camber with early and smooth transitions into tip and tail. The result is a fun and responsive board that turns on the spot and is forgiving, even after that 713.5° landing!
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.
Standard Core Profile: Even flex and control
Sintered Speed Formula HD Base: Utilizing a new base material compound, we have been able to achieve higher abrasion resistance, increased wax absorption and higher on- snow speeds.
Wax: All NITRO boards are factory-tuned with Kandahars 100% Natural Speed Wax, a fully Bio-degradable wax made of renewable resources.
Sustainability:
Eco Guard Topsheet with material that utilizies post-industrial recycled material at a 90% rate.
