Arbor Relapse vs Nitro Basher

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Arbor Relapse leans more all mountain, while the Nitro Basher leans more freeride/powder. The Arbor Relapse uses a twin shape while the Nitro Basher is directional twin. The Arbor Relapse has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nitro Basher uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Nitro Basher is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
