Arbor El Camino vs Nitro Cheap Thrills

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Arbor El Camino leans more freeride. The Arbor El Camino uses a directional shape while the Nitro Cheap Thrills is twin. The Arbor El Camino has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nitro Cheap Thrills uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Arbor El Camino is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
