Burton Ripcord vs Salomon Pulse

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Burton Ripcord uses a directional shape while the Salomon Pulse is directional twin. The Burton Ripcord has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Salomon Pulse uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 3/10 flex (soft).
