Niche Maelstrom vs Niche Minx

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Niche Maelstrom uses a directional shape while the Niche Minx is twin. The Niche Maelstrom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Niche Minx uses other (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Niche Maelstrom is noticeably stiffer at 8/10 versus the Niche Minx's 4/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
