Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro vs Nitro Slash

How they compare

Both target freeride and powder terrain, while the Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nitro Slash uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff). At $599.95 vs $649.95 MSRP, the Nitro Slash is the more budget-friendly option.
