Apsen Strong Core
The Kristall Snowboard is a true freestyle twin who features the perfect flat out cambers. This imparts the desired stability level during the ride and offers greater control. It is designed while keeping in mind the technicalities of the design; the tip, nose and tail of the board locks into turns to provide ideal freestyle riding experience.
EQ5 makes for a smooth ride, while the Popster construction and Aspen Strong core ensure crispy snap on Ollie’s and off jumps so the rider can catch air from first chair to last light.

Additional Features

The royal rubber pads suspension and sintered base plus the standard stone finish imparts glossy appearance along with the protection also.

Verdict
Coming from the leading snowboard brands, the Nikita Kristall Women’s Snowboard assures durability, less maintenance and more performance. It offers the most stable and comfortable ride while offering the same great control level as expected from Nikita. It is designed solely for women riders who are passionate for sport and want to experiment with Snowboarding tricks.
It is a tried and tested board by the professional level snowboarders, but is a difficult board for beginners as it offers poor grip. It has managed to receive 5 stars from the users, but there are others who give it far less. We encourage our readers to go for this snowboard as it has provided optimum performance to many riders, but is not recommended for those with ample experience.
