Apo Navigator vs Apo Rise Up FS

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Apo Navigator leans more powder, while the Apo Rise Up FS leans more freestyle / park. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Apo Navigator has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Apo Rise Up FS uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Apo Navigator targets expert riders while the Apo Rise Up FS is aimed at advanced riders. At $159 vs $279 MSRP, the Apo Navigator is the more budget-friendly option.
