Nidecker Beta vs Nidecker Sensor
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target powder terrain, while the Nidecker Sensor leans more all mountain/freestyle. The Nidecker Beta uses a directional shape while the Nidecker Sensor is twin. The Nidecker Beta 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). Both are rated 3/10 flex (soft). At $479.95 vs $529.95 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.
