Nitro Beast vs Nitro Nomad

How they compare

the Nitro Beast leans more freestyle, while the Nitro Nomad leans more freeride. The Nitro Beast uses a twin shape while the Nitro Nomad is directional. The Nitro Beast has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nitro Nomad uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Nitro Beast is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
