Nidecker made some fairly significant moves for its 2027 snowboard, binding and boot lineup, even though the overall snowboard count stayed the same.
The biggest developments on the board side are the skate-inspired Tape Deck, the new Odyssey men's and women's freeride shapes (kind of a returner but returning quite different - more on that below) and the powerful Blade Pro. There is also a limited Nidecker x SOREL collaboration that brings together the SOREL Surfer snowboard and Caribou Snow-G boot.
Nidecker has also expanded its Orbital Cushioning technology well beyond the Megalight, while the regular Sensor family receives new shapes, full camber profiles and revised sizing.
The binding lineup shrinks from 19 models to 17 and Nidecker has effectively rebuilt its traditional two-strap range around the new Orbit Pro, Orbit, Combo and Pop. The Carbon and LT Supermatic also get a redesigned Auto S baseplate.
Nidecker's boot lineup is smaller too, dropping from 18 models to 15. The new Index APX takes over at the top, while several returning boots receive the latest BOA H5 hardware, revised liners, footbeds and outsoles.

2026 Snowboard Models Retiring
- Blade Plus - replaced by the Blade Pro
- Blade
- Sensor Team
- Thruster
- Mellow
The Blade Pro is listed as a new model in Nidecker's catalog, but it is best viewed as the heavily upgraded successor to the Blade Plus rather than an entirely separate addition.
The SOREL Surfer is a limited collaboration and does not appear in the main dealer-catalog lineup chart. Including it, Nidecker still offers 33 snowboard models for 2027 - the same number as it did for 2026.
The Tape Deck takes over much of the mid-stiff, full-camber freestyle territory occupied by the Sensor Team, although it has a wider, more old-school outline and a stronger skate influence.
The Odyssey is the closest replacement for the Mellow. Both are directional, surf-influenced boards intended to find creative lines around the mountain, but the Odyssey is more resort-focused and comes in separate men's and women's ranges.
More details on the new additions further down the page.
Retirees
The Blade Pro directly succeeds the Blade Plus. However, the regular Blade disappears without a softer carving model taking its place.
The Thruster also lacks a direct replacement. The Escape Plus remains as Nidecker's conventional, powerful all-mountain board.

2026 Snowboard Bindings Models Retiring
- Flow NX2 Carbon Hybrid
- Kaon Pro
- Kaon
- Muon
- Prime
- Magic
The binding changes are less about abandoning categories and more about simplifying them.
The Orbit Pro succeeds the Kaon Pro as the stiff, precision-focused freestyle binding. The regular Orbit broadly replaces the Kaon, while introducing a new aluminum-and-nylon modular chassis and more adjustment.
The soft-flexing Combo consolidates much of the territory previously covered by the Muon and Prime. The new Pop becomes Nidecker's smallest and simplest kids' binding, taking over from the XS version of the Magic, while the Ollie continues to cover larger youth sizes.
The Flow NX2 Carbon remains available with its Fusion strap, but the separate Hybrid version has been removed.

New Nidecker Snowboard Boots for 2027
+ Index APX
2026 Snowboard Boots Models Retiring
- Index
- Kita APX
- Kita Hybrid
- Women's Kita Hybrid
The new Index APX becomes Nidecker's stiffest and most technically advanced boot. Meanwhile, the regular men's and women's Kita inherit enough technology from the outgoing Kita APX that a separate APX version is no longer necessary.
Removing the two Kita Hybrid models also makes the boot line simpler but less diverse. Nidecker still offers men's and women's Kita boots, but no longer provides the traditional-lace-and-BOA Hybrid option. It's a lacing system I'm personally a fan of, so not something I like to see exit, but they must have their reasons for retiring them.
Nidecker Snowboards 2027 Full Lineup By Category
The categories I place Nidecker's 2027 lineup in below is according to how we at SnowboardingProfiles.com categorize and not how Nidecker themselves categorize them.
We have a neutral stance and are completely independent of any snowboard brand. So, our categories have nothing to do with marketing the boards. They are based purely on what we think the best use of each board is.
We have included beginner categories below as well, but note that all gear in the beginner category will also be included in one of the other categories (the category that the gear is most relevant for, according to our categorization).

Details of New Models
Nidecker bring in 5 new boards, 4 new bindings and 1 new pair of boots for their 2026/2027 lineup. Some details for their new models below.
Nidecker Blade Pro
Shape: Directional
Profile: Camber
Flex: Pro-Stiff
Core: Power Core
Base: N-12000 Graphite
Sizes: 158, 160W and 162W
The Blade Pro is Nidecker's new flagship carving board and a substantial upgrade over the outgoing Blade Plus.
It retains the Blade family's long effective edge, directional shape and full camber, but gets a faster N-12000 Graphite base, a new Power Core and forged Carbon Cell sections beneath the feet. Titanium Boosters are intended to transfer power to the edges with as little delay as possible.
The flex also moves from stiff to what Nidecker now calls pro-stiff. A new 160W joins the returning 158 and 162W sizes.
This looks like a more powerful and technically advanced version of the Blade Plus rather than a completely different carving concept. It should be very fast and precise, but also demanding and clearly intended for experienced riders.
Nidecker Tape Deck
Shape: True Twin
Profile: Camber
Flex: Stiff (the detailed specification box also describes it as mid-stiff)
Core: Light Core
Base: N-7000 Hybrid
Sizes: 147, 150, 153, 156, 156W, 159 and 159W
The Tape Deck is a full-camber freestyle board inspired by the rounded twins and steep kicks of the 1990s.
Nidecker has given it a relatively wide waist and steep nose and tail kick. The idea is to make it more stable, reduce toe and heel overhang and help it press, butter, spin and lock into banks and wall rides.
It still has a fairly serious construction. The mid-stiff flex, Light Core, Pop Carbon stringers and Biax Plus fiberglass should provide plenty of pop and stability, while the N-7000 Hybrid base is a step above the extruded bases found on Nidecker's softer progression boards.
Each size also gets its own graphic, giving the Tape Deck a more individual feel than most boards in the lineup.
Nidecker Odyssey and Women's Odyssey
Shape: Directional
Profile: Surfy CamRock
Flex: Mid-Stiff
Core: Light Core
Base: N-9000 Sintered
Men's sizes: 152, 155, 157, 159 and 162
Women's sizes: 142, 147, 152 and 155
Note that there was an Odyssey (which was essentially a women's version of the Mellow) around a few years back, that had it's last appearance for the 23/24 season - while the new Odyssey is significantly different to the '24 Odyssey, it still fills a very similar role in the lineup.
The Odyssey is a directional board that has Nidecker's Surfy CamRock profile, a long nose, substantial 50 mm setback and an N-9000 base. Pop Carbon and Titanium Boosters add response, while Orbital Cushioning is built into the insert zones to reduce vibration and soften impacts.
Nidecker describes it as a board for creative lines both inside and outside the resort.
Its directional outline and setback should provide good float, but it is not presented as a powder-only shape.
The men's and women's models use the same construction and general design, with the 152 and 155 appearing in both ranges.
Nidecker x Sorel Surfer
Shape: Directional
Profile: Surfy CamRock
Flex: Mid-Soft
Sizes: 150, 155 and 160
The SOREL Surfer is a limited collaboration inspired by the role SOREL's Caribou winter boot played during snowboarding's early years.
Shaped by Thierry Kunz, it combines a retro directional outline with Nidecker's Surfy CamRock profile and a lightweight poplar-and-paulownia core. It should provide a looser and more forgiving ride than the Odyssey, with an emphasis on float, natural terrain and smooth surf-style turns.
The lone caribou on the topsheet references the matching Caribou Snow-G snowboard boot developed as part of the same project.
Nidecker Orbit Pro
Flex: Stiff
Entry: Traditional Two-Strap
Baseplate: Alu/Nylon+ Module
Highback: Nylon+ InfinityBack Pro
Sizes: M, L and XL
The Orbit Pro is Nidecker's new top-end traditional two-strap binding.
Its hybrid aluminum-and-nylon chassis includes an adjustable heelcup and is paired with a stiff, highly adjustable InfinityBack Pro highback. It also gets Nidecker's lightweight Exo-Frame Pro ankle strap, Hexo Toecap 2.0, aluminum ratchets and Gecko Grip inside the highback.
The Custom BankBeds can be adjusted independently at the toe and heel, allowing more precise boot centering and stance alignment than Nidecker's one-piece footbeds.
It occupies the same stiff position as the outgoing Kaon Pro but introduces an entirely different chassis and significantly more adjustability.
Nidecker Orbit
Flex: Mid-Stiff
Entry: Traditional Two-Strap
Baseplate: Alu/Nylon+ Module
Highback: Nylon InfinityBack
Sizes: M, L and XL
The regular Orbit uses the same modular aluminum-and-nylon chassis as the Pro but softens the overall ride.
It gets a less aggressive InfinityBack, Uni-Frame ankle strap and new Toe Capsule. It still provides the adjustable heelcup, independently adjustable footbed sections, aluminum ratchets and Gecko Grip found on the Pro.
The result should be a more versatile alternative for riders who want the precision and adjustability of Nidecker's new chassis without the Orbit Pro's stiffness.
Nidecker Combo
Flex: Soft
Entry: Traditional Two-Strap
Baseplate: Nylon+ Axis Unibase
Highback: Nylon Electron
Sizes: S, M, L and XL
The Combo becomes Nidecker's main soft-flexing adult two-strap binding.
It combines the familiar Axis Unibase with a lightweight Uni-Frame ankle strap, Toe Capsule and Proton ratchets. It is intended to be comfortable, forgiving and affordable.
The Combo effectively consolidates the outgoing Muon and Prime into one simpler model.
Nidecker Pop
Flex: Soft
Entry: Single Strap
Baseplate: PC Kids Base
Size: XS
The Pop is Nidecker's smallest binding and is designed to pair with the Scamp snowboard.
It uses an integrated mounting system rather than a conventional separate disk, along with a one-piece highback and single strap. The simple layout keeps weight down and makes it easier for very small riders to get in and out.
The Ollie remains available in S and M sizes for older children, while the Pop takes over the smallest XS position previously covered by the Magic.
Nidecker Index APX
Flex: Pro-Stiff
Closure: Dual BOA
Liner: Gold
Outsole: Vibram Approach 2.0
The Index APX replaces the outgoing Index at the very top of Nidecker's boot range.
Its most visible feature is a full-length Storm Cover inspired by mountaineering boots. Underneath, it uses the latest BOA H5 hardware, an internal heel-lock system, updated heat-moldable Gold liner and Nidecker's 3D Summit footbed.
