Similar Boards, We Like That We Tested This Against:  Never Summer Proto Type Two, Yes Greats

Set Up: 22” 21 front -6 back Close to Reference and Set all the way back.  22” 15 front -15 back Centered.

Approximate Weight:

Feels normal bordering on light.

Flex/Buttering:

There is a nice mediumish flex and on snow, it’s not super easy but the little bit of rocker in the tip/tail allows you to butter better than you would think. It doesn’t feel like a 7 out of 10 but more of a 5 out of 10 throughout the board.  Wood can be different from board to board and the flex can vary so ours might be a little softer or it could be how the board is throughout the 2019 production line.

Sizing:

157 felt just right for my specs.  I don’t think that going much wider than 10’s for the 157 or 11 for the 163 depending on your boot size.

On Snow Feel:

Very stable and almost like camber but that little bit of rocker in the tip/tail make the ride a little more forgiving than full camber.  It’s not ideal for beginner-intermediate riders.  It tracks very well and when set up centered and duck it offers a good feel underfoot that is like less catchy camber.

Edge Hold:

The Nitro Quiver Fury has a little extension in the sidecut near the bindings called Power Pods and it holds a pretty good edge in hard snow.

Turn Initiation:

Pretty quick and easy to turn for my specs.

Turning Experience:

From short to wide radius turns the Nitro Quiver Fury is very competent and has lots of energy.

Carving:

Really lays out a good carve and the Nitro Fury is the asym twin I like to take out when I want to focus more on carving regular and switch. Turning and carving is where the Nitro Quiver Fury really shines for us

Skidded Turns:

Not as easy to skid turns as many boards with more rocker going on somewhere in the camber profile.  It’s easier than camber but has more consequence than many of its hybrid camber profile peers.

Powder:

Haven’t really had a lot of powder with this board but not too optimistic about this being a great floater with only that little bit of early rise in the tip/tail.  Still, if you come from

Speed:

Pretty stable at speed and it can handle a straight line no problem.  It’s not a freeride bomber but good for a twin.  The base has good glide too and does pretty well even when you aren’t on it with your waxing regimen.

Uneven Terrain:

The Nitro Quiver Fury is not a chunder buster but it doesn’t shit the bed either. It leans a little on the poppy but a little chattery side of things but it’s far from bad by any means.  I had no problem riding this in uneven micro bumpy hard snow but wouldn’t be bummed riding this on a messy tracked up day either.

Switch:

Perfect either way and it’s one of the better boards out there for those who ride switch or want to work on riding switch a lot.

Jumps:

The Nitro Quiver Fury pops well and you can generate a lot of air with this board.  It’s great for most size kickers you would want to ride and it’s really fun to find hits around the mountain as I ride.

Jibbing:

Not the best jibber and this isn’t something that my old broken body really does much these days.

Pipe:

After the videos were filmed the Pipe was made at my mountain and this is a really great pipe board.  The Nitro Fury has strong edge hold and that camber drives really well wall to wall. It favors a more technical rider but I like how the board handles itself in the pipe and it seems to work well going up and down walls without feeling like it’s too much board.

So all in all, the Nitro Quiver Fury is different from some of our favorite asymmetrical twins like the Never Summer Proto Type Two and Yes Greats but shines equally in its own more camber dominant way.
