Nitro Basher vs Salomon Abstract

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Nitro Basher leans more freeride/powder, while the Salomon Abstract leans more all mountain. The Nitro Basher uses a directional twin shape while the Salomon Abstract is twin. The Nitro Basher has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Salomon Abstract uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Nitro Basher is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
