Nidecker Beta vs Nidecker Beta APX

How they compare

Both target powder terrain, while the Nidecker Beta APX leans more all mountain. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature hybrid (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The Nidecker Beta APX is noticeably stiffer at 6/10 versus the Nidecker Beta's 3/10, suiting more aggressive riding. At $529.95 vs $629.95 MSRP, the Nidecker Beta is the more budget-friendly option.
