Nidecker Alpha vs Nidecker APX
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain and powder and freestyle riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The Nidecker APX is noticeably stiffer at 6/10 versus the Nidecker Alpha's 3/10, suiting more aggressive riding. At $529.95 vs $629.95 MSRP, the Nidecker Alpha is the more budget-friendly option.
