Niche Nightshade Snowboard - Women's 2021
Featuring 10th anniversary artwork that highlights the importance of protecting the world's forests, the Niche Nightshade Snowboard is a versatile freestyler made for women who love the park as much as they love the steep, the groom, and the zoom. The Nightshade's unique, mellow profile offers a stable, responsive, and easily maneuverable ride. With a medium flex, twin shape, and Magne-Traction edges, this board is both nimble and stable at speed.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Camber Dominant Hybrid – A modern update on the original classic provides more stability, tons of pop, responsive edge control and will let you ride away without washing out.
Flex
5 – Soft twin flex, for predictable riding and perfect presses.
Shape
Twin – Designed for park progression and all-round fun.
Core
Sustainable Wood Core – A combination of paulownia, poplar, and bamboo.
Laminates
Basalt Stringers – Similar vibration dampening and pop characteristics to carbon fiber, but much more eco-friendly.
Snappy Sap™ Bio-Resin – More elastic and snappier than normal resin, it dampens vibrations and has extremely high adhesion properties to help keep your board from delaminating. Traditional resins can also be extremely toxic to people and the environment. As opposed to traditional petroleum-based materials, Snappy Sap is composed of bio-renewable materials from the industrial waste streams of the paper pulp and bio-fuels industries.
Sidewalls
Recycled ABS Sidewalls
Base
Recycled Sintered Base
Edges
Recycled Steel Edges
Magne-Traction® | 2X Traction Bumps – Extra edge contact points give your board more edge control and stability, especially in icy conditions. 0.75mm bumps in the binding area for added grip and enhanced carving ability.
Topsheet
Digi-Print Topsheet – A lacquer-free topsheet that's also thinner than most snowboard topsheets. This down on excess material and makes your board lighter. Niche digitally prints directly onto the topsheet, cutting up to 60% of the material and 75% of the energy needs during alternate printing processes.
Water-Based Inks – Niche uses non-toxic, solvent-free, water-based inks for printing graphics on all snowboard production.

Terrain:
Freestyle, All-Mountain

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.

Flex Rating:
Medium

Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
