Black Crows Nocta vs Black Diamond Helio 105

How they compare

Both target freeride terrain, while the Black Crows Nocta leans more powder. The Black Crows Nocta uses a twin tip shape while the Black Diamond Helio 105 is flat. The Black Crows Nocta has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Black Diamond Helio 105 uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile).
