Rome Mechanic vs Salomon Abstract

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Salomon Abstract leans more freestyle. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Rome Mechanic has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Salomon Abstract 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). The Rome Mechanic targets intermediate riders while the Salomon Abstract is aimed at advanced riders.
