Salomon Craft vs Salomon Pulse

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Salomon Craft leans more freeride. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Salomon Craft 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 Pulse uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Salomon Craft is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Salomon Craft targets advanced riders while the Salomon Pulse is aimed at intermediate riders. At $399.95 vs $479.95 MSRP, the Salomon Pulse is the more budget-friendly option.
