Nidecker Rift APX 2025

The Rift APX is a premium version of the popular mid-soft model, offering a relaxed flex that’s perfect for tweaking grabs and expressing your own riding style. Dual-Dial BOA® laces provide complete control over fit, while SuperFoam cushioning and a Silver heat-moldable liner guarantee comfort from day one. With its standout design, the APX features innovative seamless panels made from KPU and an Armor-Tech toe to keep feet dry in even the wettest conditions.

Key Features

The Rift APX's upgraded outsole features SuperFoam cushioning, a proprietary material that offers insane dampening and rebound. Absorb the heaviest landings in the park and beyond.

The Transition Zone tech seamlessly connects the sole to the Exo Spine, accelerating response and preventing damage to the back of the boot when entering or exiting the binding.

The Rift APX is even more weatherproof than the regular Rift, thanks to a seamless KPU lower section and a durable Armor-Tech toe borrowed from our flagship models.

Technical Specs

Dual-Dial BOA®

Dual-Dial BOA® lets you tighten your boots quickly and easily via two dials. The upper and lower foot can be adjusted independently for a custom fit, and to prioritise maximum power transfer or looser, surfier turns.

H4 Coiler

Ready for anything, designed to withstand. The bombproof BOA® H4 Coiler is built for the most demanding riders and resists impacts from park to pow. Its efficient mechanism rapidly takes up lace slack, increasing speed of entry.

3D Liner Support

Awesome foot hold that starts right inside the liner, with 3D molded material and J-bars around the ankle. Minimal movement, maximum control.

Ascent SuperFoam Outsole

Fully loaded with proprietary SuperFoam cushioning, this premium version of the Ascent outsole offers excellent dampening and rebound underfoot. It's a super-durable material that retains its density and shock-absorbent properties winter after winter. Elsewhere, it features the same OC-Kush insert to help soak up heavy landings, and a full rubber tread inspired by geckos for lizard-like traction.

Silver Level Liner

Heat molding allows you to customize the fit of our versatile Silver liner, which also features a Custom Flex Zone around the toes for extra wriggle room, 8mm of PE foam and additional PU support. The liner is closed via a separate cuff connected to the inside of the shell, making it a breeze to get on and off. Velcro patches on both sides of the tongue help secure the fit.

Shell Harness

Pull the inner laces to tighten a shell-mounted harness. Velcro secures the tongue.
