Jones Frontier vs Rome Artifact

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Jones Frontier leans more all mountain/freeride. The Jones Frontier uses a directional shape while the Rome Artifact is twin. The Jones Frontier has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Rome Artifact uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
