Nitro Dropout vs Yes Basic

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Nitro Dropout leans more freeride. The Nitro Dropout uses a directional shape while the Yes Basic is twin. The Nitro Dropout has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Yes Basic uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
