Nitro Alternator X Volcom vs Nitro Mystique

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Nitro Alternator X Volcom uses a directional shape while the Nitro Mystique is directional twin. The Nitro Alternator X Volcom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nitro Mystique uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Nitro Alternator X Volcom is noticeably stiffer at 7/10 versus the Nitro Mystique's 4/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
