The 2021 Salomon Assassin has earned itself a reputation as being the go-to snowboard for anyone who is looking for the perfect resort crushing board. Designed by the legendary Wollie Nyvelt, this category-defying snowboard has rewritten the rulebook on all-terrain snowboarding. Built around a unique a directional twin shape, the Assassin manages to deliver the balance of a freestyle board with the float & piste performance of a freeride board, underlining why it has firmly established itself as one of the default boards for seasonaires. Key to the Assassins stunning performance across so many disciplines is its combination of Rock Out camber, Quadralizer sidecut & high-performance Poster eco Booster ABC Wrapper construction. These work in perfect harmony with that ground-breaking shape to deliver a remarkable snowboard that handles anything that the mountain can throw at it with absolute ease. Rider Style Intermediate to expert riders looking for a high-performance all-terrain board that can ride everything & everywhere. Shape Overview The Assassin utilises an advanced Wollie Nyvelt designed directional twin chassis. This state of the art shape delivers a balanced overall ride, giving the rider all the control that they could ever need. However, thanks to the excellent low swing weight nose shape which features extended zones at the contact points, the Assassin Pro delivers a level of float in the pow that is a little bit special. For this coming season, Salomon has added their advanced Quadralizer sidecut to the Assassin. This unique sidecut geometry combines equalizer with Quadratic zones to deliver genuinely mind-blowing levels of grip & control. Profile To ensure that the Assassin delivers excellent performance across all types of riding & terrain, Salomon utilises their state of the art Rock Out Camber. This complex profile combines rocker zones at the contact points with camber under the feet & a flat section between the bindings. This unique profile delivers a versatile ride, ensuring that no matter what or where you ride, you know that this board is never going to feel wanting. Construction Internally the Assassin’s advanced construction is headed up with the state of the art Popster eco Booter Aspen Select Core. This h&-selected Aspen core is reinforced with bamboo rods to deliver a poppy & powerful flex through the length. This then goes through a unique milling process which creates thick & thin zones through the length, allowing the designers to dial in the perfect flex. Now to give the Assassin its stunning all-around performance, Salomon utilises a combination of medium-density bi-ax glass structural layers & their unique ABC Green Roll construction. This mix of a Bamboo top sheet, basalt reinforcing in the nose & tail & cork sidewalls, steps up control & performance without overly affecting the Assassins freestyle inspired feel. Base To ensure that the Assassin lives up to its high-performance credentials, Salomon fit their Sintered e G base with fine stone finish. This Galium infused electra base is both super-tough & super-fast, ensuring that this will be one of the fastest boards on the mountain.
