Nitro Beast vs Salomon Abstract

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Salomon Abstract leans more all mountain. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Nitro Beast has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), 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 Beast is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Nitro Beast targets expert riders while the Salomon Abstract is aimed at advanced riders.
