2024 Nidecker Venus Plus Snowboard The Venus Plus takes everything that's loved about the award-winning Venus, then turns things up a notch for more advanced riders needing extra power for slashes, sprays and sends. It starts with the same blunt Venus outline with 10mm setback stance, but then significantly increases the reactivity and pop of the original by shifting to a positive camber profile. This increases the power and drive you can put into your turn and along with a little more stiffness built into the construction, thanks to the elevated Light Core, gives tons of snap when loading it up for ollies. Nidecker upgraded the base to their N-7000 Sintruded material so that it can carry more speed over all snow types. We all dream of deep bluebird days, but the Venus Plus is for riders that want to make the most from any conditions. Slash, hard pack, chop, and pow are all well within its wheelhouse. Just like the original, this is a true all mountain rocket ship. It's a quiver killer for women who like to start a day in the side country, maybe practice some carves on the piece, then finish up in the park. It requires more precision than the Venus, but if you want to take your riding to the next level, this is what you need. Camber Profile Camber - Performance Carving Flex Flex Rating – Mid Stiff Core Master Core – The Master Core construction is the result of a long history of experimentation in materials and woodcraft. It's the perfect harmony of different wood densities and varieties (poplar, beech, spruce, and paulownia), resulting in a superior weight-to-power ratio and an ultra-strong, extra-responsive lightweight core. Laminates Premium Sandwich – This next level construction steps up the power and response of the standard sandwich manufacturing. Adding advanced materials like Carbon and Kevlar® gives the board more pop and improved shock absorption. Triax Plus – Oriented 45 degrees to the board and contains different glass densities. This provides consistent torsional flex, better pop, and more reactivity on every turn. Pop Carbon Plus – Strategic placement of carbon fiber from the tail to the rear inserts, and from the nose to the front inserts, resulting in a more reactive board, with increased pop and stiffness. It's vibration dampening qualities make it ideal for more aggressive riding in all conditions. Base N-7000 – Developed exclusively for Nidecker, the N-7000 is an extremely tough, sintered base with added carbon nanoparticles that provide exceptional glide. Topsheet Absorbnid – This innovative top layer has been developed to absorb unwanted vibrations allowing for responsive and dynamic boards that still give you a smooth and comfortable ride. Graphics Matte Finish Binding Compatibility 2x4 - 5 Inserts – With 5 rows of inserts every 2 cm, this combination is the industry standard and works with all bindings on the market. The reference stance is the middle position.
