Armada AR7 vs Armada x Metallica JJ 2.0

How they compare

the Armada AR7 leans more freestyle / park, while the Armada x Metallica JJ 2.0 leans more powder. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Armada AR7 has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Armada x Metallica JJ 2.0 uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). At $19.95 vs $48 MSRP, the Armada AR7 is the more budget-friendly option.
