Rift Men 26/27
Black

The Nidecker Rift is a light, mid-soft snowboard boot with dual BOA dials and sneaker-like looks. This version comes in Black.

The shell is split into two overlapping parts, so the upper moves independently. The boot flexes smoothly and will not deform when you tweak hard or put more pressure on one side. The mid-soft flex makes it easy to lean into presses and tweak out grabs. The two H5 Coiler dials each control their own zone and micro-adjust both ways: turn a dial in reverse and it releases tension gradually. The Silver liner is heat-moldable for comfort from day one and has a Custom Flex Zone at the toes. Inner laces tighten a harness mounted to the shell, while 3D molded material and J-bars around the ankle keep your heel down. The Ascent 2.0 outsole has an improved Transition Zone and stiffer heel rubber for better compatibility with speed entry bindings.
