Nitro Dropout vs Nitro Nomad

How they compare

the Nitro Dropout leans more all mountain, while the Nitro Nomad 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 Dropout 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). Both are rated 6/10 flex (medium).
