rome artifact vs graft

ok. i have a 147 artifact currently because the graft was unnavailable on proform at the time i was ordering. i can get the graft 151 now through my shop was they got bought by another shop and now i get discount at the other shop. has anyone ridden both artifact and graft, if so what do you think was better. im looking at the graft for an all around board thats just a hint stiffer/poppier than the artifact. also i could get the arbor rogue status 153 (through my shop) or nitro t2 (online) if worse comes to worse. the t2 seems to be a sure bet. lemme know

the

artifact and the graft are pretty much exactly the same flex and pop wise, the graft just holds an edge better, so it can take speeds and bigger jumps, besides tht they're the same, personally i like the graft better

the graft and artifact dont h

the graft and artifact dont have the same flex. the graft is the stiffer version of the artifact. same size and shape, jsut a different flex.

Haven't ridden the artifact

but I have a Graft 157 I use for my every day board. I love it.

graft

i have the artifact and i rode it all last year, depending how big you are that 147 flexs like no other. i would say if you want more of an all around get the graft for sure. i tried it out and i loved it, the flex is soft in the middle so you can press but the tip and tail feel stiffer so popping is no problem, fun board.
