Nitro Basher vs Nitro Slash

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 Slash 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 Slash uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
