Compare two models
How they compare
the Nitro Optisym leans more freestyle, while the Nitro Slash leans more freeride/powder. The Nitro Optisym uses a asymmetric shape while the Nitro Slash is directional. The Nitro Optisym has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nitro Slash uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Nitro Slash is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Nitro Optisym targets advanced riders while the Nitro Slash is aimed at expert riders.
