Prior Bx vs Prior Thruster Split
Snowboards comparison — 2018-2019 season
Compare two models
How they compare
the Prior Bx leans more freeride, while the Prior Thruster Split leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Prior Bx has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Prior Thruster Split uses other (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile).
