Salomon Abstract vs Salomon Kickback

How they compare

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