Nitro Basher vs Nitro Ika

How they compare

Both target all mountain and backcountry terrain, while the Nitro Basher leans more freestyle. The Nitro Basher uses a twin shape while the Nitro Ika is directional. The Nitro Basher has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Nitro Ika uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
