Rome Artifact vs Rome Slapstick Kids '

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Rome Slapstick Kids ' leans more all mountain. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Rome Artifact has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Rome Slapstick Kids ' uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium). At $329.95 vs $449.95 MSRP, the Rome Slapstick Kids ' is the more budget-friendly option.
