Nidecker APX vs Nidecker Sensor
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain and powder and freestyle riding. The Nidecker APX uses a directional shape while the Nidecker Sensor is twin. The Nidecker APX has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Nidecker Sensor uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Nidecker APX is noticeably stiffer at 6/10 versus the Nidecker Sensor's 3/10, suiting more aggressive riding. At $479.95 vs $629.95 MSRP, the Nidecker Sensor is the more budget-friendly option.

Nidecker Sensor
Nidecker’s freestyle Sensor. Used Sensors are easier to find than Escapes, so price the base and edges, not the season sticker. Sensor Pro, Team, and women’s listings are different boards — do not treat a Micron Sensor as the same used buy.
