Nitro Drop vs Nitro Volta

How they compare

the Nitro Drop leans more all mountain, while the Nitro Volta leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Nitro Drop has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nitro Volta uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). The Nitro Drop is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
