Salomon NFX Lab vs Salomon Q-90
Skis comparison — 2014-2015 season
Compare two models
How they compare
the Salomon NFX Lab leans more freestyle / park, while the Salomon Q-90 leans more all mountain. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Salomon NFX Lab has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Salomon Q-90 uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). At $24.95 vs $279 MSRP, the Salomon Q-90 is the more budget-friendly option.
