The Rome Ravine Selekt is a brand new board in the range. Based on the Ravine board with the same shape and camber profile, but with different core materials and additives. The Ravine Select is a stiffer and more powerful version of the Rome Ravine. The Ravine Select is designed for the aggressive rider who want to charge down the mountain and float with ease in the deeper snow.
The Rome Ravine Selekt uses Romes Free the ride 3D camber which is designed to drive a lot of power through the back foot thanks to the camber in the back of the board. The high point of the camber sits behind the centre point of the board and then from there to just in front of the front contact point, is a mellow flat camber. This then moves into a reverse camber nose with the all new Directional Diamond 3D base bevel to give the nose a extra spoon shape. To translate that into performance terms it has a lot of power in the back with a mellow front and a big floaty nose which wont catch or dive under in deep snow.
To add to this Rome put a taper in the board of 7.5mm depending on size. This accentuates the livelyness and power you can drive through the back foot and also makes the back of the board more nimble rather than being wider like the rest of the board. The width does come into play when taking this one off piste aiding float no end and, your choice, does enable you to ride this board a size smaller if you do so wish.
The Carbon Omega Hotrods in the tail makes the Ravine Select much stiffer and with impact plates, Superpop core and Sinterspeed base you will be chargning down the mountain with a big smile.

This is the Wide version of the Gnu Mullair snowboard with a wider waist width to accommodate snowboarder with boot size UK 10.5 or bigger. If the snowboard is too narrow for your boots, the toes or heels of your boots will be hanging off the edge, which results in the boots getting into contact with the snow surface. This will dramatically slow you down or result in a unexpected crash.
This all-mountain freeride snowboard comes packed with features. Let's start with the C3 Camber Profile. We would decribe the camber profile as an old school camber with a modern tweak. In short, featuring camber with a very mild rocker in the centre of the board, that gives you a responsive but not restrictive camber.
Lets move on to the Directional shape. The GNU Mullair comes with a slightly wider nose and a mild taper towards the tail and 1" setback. This gives you a slightly longer and wider nose that will give you amazing float in powder and is very butter friendly.

The Mullair has a semi stiff flex that we would rate 7 on a 1-10 scale where 1 is super soft and 10 is rock hard.
The internals comes with a Balsa / Aspen / Paulownia II Wood core, using sustainably harvested wood that is the lightest wood core GNU have on offer that is also strong and incredibly poppy. The Tri-Ax / Bi-Ax Silky smooth Bio Fiber dampener works well together with the wood core.

Overall if you want a board which is equally at home in the powder as it is in the park this is the board for you, top end tech! The Ride Machete GT uses a scaled sizing method so there is now no need to ride a wide board if you have big feet, the waist width of the board increases with the size of the board.
The Rome Artifact 2021 is a true park annihilation board. With a powerful and predictable positive camber, a soft pressable and jib friendly flex, true twin shape and new for this year the Artifact features the Double Kick, an aggressive two-part rise in the board's nose and/or tail. The Double Kick looks like it's taken straight from a skateboard and it will help take your buttering skills to the next level and make landings smoother.
And there is more to the Artifact, a single bamboo HotRod in the board’s nose and tail for a pressable yet poppy feel and response. Underneath your binding inserts you will find the woven glass Impact Plates to lessen impact on big jumps and dampen chatter you might get on uneven hardpack terrain for a smoother ride. The lightweight stomp core with poplar construction is sandwiched with 2 layers of Biax Glass, Fiberglass with two different axes, built to be more torsionally playful and flexible.

The Kink has been around for years but this year Ride thought they would liven the board up with a new tip and tail shape and art by Sean Cliver. The tip and tail are now flat kick skate inspired shape for less hang ups and nice clean snap to your ollie with a new funky shape too!

The Kink excels in the park especially on rails but do not write this one off on the jumps too as it can still hold up well on decent sized kickers.

The 2020 Rome Gangplank is one hell of a freestyle board. Used and abused by most of the Rome team for being a trusty freesyle stick which wont let you down. True twin, mid flex and tons of pop!
It packs a punch with a very lightweight core with the pop matrix core using two bands of lightweight wood tip to tail sandwiched between strong poplar wood. Rome then add their super clever Hot Rods to the core by milling channels into the core and inserting a hollow sleeve to which a bamboo rod is insterted. This is anchored at the inner most point of the board and allowed to move freely to generate plenty of pop and response making the gangplank very lively and able to pop huge ollies.
A really nice clever feature of the Gangplank is the camber profile and sidecut combination. The Gangplank uses Romes contact rocket which is a stable flat camber profile between the feet with reverse camber on the outside of the feet. This has been a tried and tested freestyle profile for a while with a very stable landing platformand catch free feel thanks to the reverse in the tip and tail. The downside usually is a lack of grip but Rome add their quickrip sidecut to stop this.

The K2 Cool Bean has a uncommon look as it falls into K2's Volume shift range, as you can see the Cool Bean is a lot shorter and wider than a traditional snowboard. This movement of volume from the tip and tail to the width changes the feel of the board from a precise feel to a more surfy, floaty and fluid feeling. The Baseline rocker on the Cool Bean makes it extremely stable with a flat section in the centre of the board towards the tail with a large rocker zone in the nose that provides plenty of float.
With its huge nose the Cool Bean sits up in powder with ease and the swallow tail helps to tail sink and slash your way around in the deep stuff. When cruising the groomers the 28cm waist width comes into play allowing the rider to really lean into their turns and push the board about with their big smile.
The rule when buying a Cool Bean is to downsize from your usual board length between 7cm and 10cm. As you would expect from K2 the Cool Bean is loaded with great features like a sintered base and hybritech construction and you know this one is a winner. Suitable for boots sizes from UK 6 up to UK 15.

The 2020 Rome Ravine, where to start!? Its a beast of a board, your all terrain powder board which can tear up any part of the mountain. Want to charge? It has you covered, want to do some mellow butters? It plays with ease, want to lay down some carves? It will show you how its done! One hell of a versatile board!
It uses Romes Free the ride 3d camber which not only is a huge mouthful but it is a very clever camber profile too. It is designed to drive a lot of power through the back foot thanks to the camber in the back of the board. The high point of the camber sits behind the centre point of the board and then from there to just in front of the front contact point is a mellow flat camber. This then moves into a reverse camber nose with 3D base bevel to give the nose a spoon shape. To translate that into performance terms it has a lot of power in the back with a mellow front and a nose which wont catch or dive under in deep snow.
To add to this Rome put a taper in the board of around 1cm depending on size. This accentuates the livelyness and power you can drive through the back foot and also makes the back of the board more nimble rather than being wider like the rest of the board. The width does come into play when taking this one off piste aiding float no end and, your choice, does enable you to ride this board a size smaller if you do so wish.
The Hot rods in the tail round this one off with some expolsive pop whether is is in and out of truns or popping off a fresh pillow line in the trees.
This one became an instant favourite of ours for all of the right reasons. Go charge the mountain, kick up some over head powder truns and carve like hell on the Rome Ravine!

This makes the Rome Artifact a strong and durable lightweight park board that can take abuse.
All this gives you a true twin park board built for increased pressability and better landings. This board is perfect for riding in a dome, dry sope or freestyle riding on the mountains!
This is the wide version of the K2 Raygun snowboard. Suitable for riders with size UK 10.5 or bigger sized feet.
The K2 raygun had its shape reworked for 2019 with the aim to put a modern take on a classic outline. The K2 raygun is designed to be forgiving and fun at an affordable price and is the prefect board to progress with. The Directional shape features a longer rocker zone in the nose with a flat stable zone in the middle of the board and a shorter rocker zone in the tail. This makes the Raygun very stable and catch free.
The Raygun comes packed with K2's ICG 10 Carbon Glass with integrated carbon stringers running the length of the board for added pop and stability without any rigidity. The Extruded base is easy to maintain and delivers a consistent glide.
The Helix from Ride has been a firm favorite and its easy to see why offering an asymmetrical shape, the advances are that it gives you incredible control over your heelside, paired with the Carbon Slimerods 2.0 that add amazing pop, response, and vibration dampening, its easy to see why this is a super popular board. With plenty of camber this precise and powerful board laughs in the face of the pipe and XL jump lines. The Ride Helix Snowboard takes a new-age scientific approach to riding that's quickly upping the ante of what to expect from a high-performance park board!
The Helix from Ride has been replicated with a few mutations from last year's model to give you the maximum in freestyle performance. The Helix features RIDE's Twin Camber shape and a slightly softer flex than last year's model, but the asymmetric sidecut is what truly sets the Helix apart. The radius of the sidecut on your heelside edge is deeper than the radius on your toeside edge, giving you more leverage over your heelside turns. This anatomically correct board shape allows you to power through turns easier on your heelside edge. The Helix is a go anywhere, do anything freestyle deck and a favorite of team rider, cloning test subject and slopestyle contest dominator Yuki Kadono.
The Bataleon Feelbetter is a very easy snowboard to ride and help you progress to the next level, in short this is a board that makes you feel better. Your confidence levels will increase and you will feel more comfortable on a snowboard. The Freestyle 3BT eliminates the fear of catching your edges, allowing you to focus on the riding at hand. The lifted sidebase areas at the widest points of the board makes the boards turn smoother and faster and it helps when you are not completely clean on your landings. The SideKick feature also dramatically increases the sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation even smoother, increases float in powder and handling of the board in rough terrain.
Soft flex, Directional Twin shape with medium uplift in the nose and tail, paired with a mellow camber makes the Feelbetter board perfect for the rider who is new to snowboarding. The Core Core features full poplar with beech hardwood laid tip to tail along the inserts strengthening the board’s backbone, reinforcing the inserts and producing more pop. The Feelbetter can handle anything on the mountain with ease.
The Santoku is a brand new snowboard in the Nitro range and one of the most exciting snowboards for 2020. Designed in collaboration with a true all mountain rider; Elias Elhardt. Elias is know for his versitile riding and for using the whole mountain in his riding. The Santuko is great All-Mountain twin shaped board that comes packed with features that will allow you to make the whole mountain into a playpark.
The Santoku has a different twin shape with a very spoony elongated tip and tail. This shape gives you great amount of float regardless of what direction you are riding and also a large surface area to perfect your buttering and pressing tricks on the groomers. The Trüe Camber and the new carbon reinforcement fiber Diamond V-Tips in the tip and tail, provides the Santuko Snowboard with loads of pop and the response you need for kicking out methods and shooting down first decent at immense speeds.
The Dual Degressive Sidecut and Whiplash Core Profile will allow you to carve it up like it's your day job. As you would expect the Santuko also comes with Nitro's fast gliding Sintered Speed Formula II Base. The Santuko is your new versitile Japnese kitchen knife that you can slice around the whole mountain with.
The Rome Warden is a high end all-mountain board you always wanted without the hefty price tag. This is the wide version of the board that is suitable for riders with size UK 10.5 or bigger. Slash windlips, smash tree runs and euro carve till your heart is content with the Rome Warden.
The Warden is a directional twin board but as you may be able to tell by the pictures this is a directional board with a small amount of taper. This gives you a centered stance and longer nose with more kick for a powder and all mountain edge while the minimal taper means when you want to pop a 180 and ride switch it wont feel alien.
Romes Stomp Core in the Warden makes it a really nice and nimble board with two extra bamboo stringers inserted to the core for extra response. This partners very nicely with the fusion camber profile which is a full standard camber under foot with the contact points being raised up with reverse camber zones in the tip and tail. All this together means you keep the agility, response and grip of the camber with the catch free feel of a rockered board making this one very universal.
The Power Slide base is an extruded base but is rated much higher than you would expect at 3000 so even though Rome use this to keep your wallet happy it will still be plenty quick enough for all of your all mountian needs. A new base material that features improved wax absorption, increased durability and the most value for money
This one rides well and packs a huge punch for the priocepoint, highly reccomended for all abilities!
The 2020 Rome Mechanic is an incredible value snowboard whether you are making your first turns or pushing your progression in the park or on the mountain. With a true twin shape, mid flex and quickrip side cut this is a winner for any one out there wanting to push their riding on a budget.
The Mechanic uses Romes quickrip sidecut which is two different diameter sidecuts blended together to create additional contact pints under foot. Why do i need this? Well the Mechanic is base on Romes contact camber profile which is flat between the feet with rocker in the tip and tail. This is great for learning to ride, getting away with your tricks not being 100% on point or furthering your all mountain carbon skills as you progress. this is thanks to the contact points being raised away from the snow. The downside of these camber profiles are you lose grip so the quick rip with two additional contact points conteracts this so you can keep your grip while still having all the catch free benefits of the contact camber profile.
To keep the pop and response up without hurting your wallet rome add hot rods to the board but use a cheaper fibreglass rods for the extra response and pop rather than the more expensive carbon or bamboo found in other models. The same applies on the base, this is an extruded base (which has its own benefits like waaaay more easy to maintain) but it is a more highly rated extruded base at 3000 which is where some competiors extruded are at 1500, double the speed!
A great starter board for beginners, a great job friendly park board and a great intro to all mountain and powder board. A great board!
The Rome Ravine Selekt is a brand new board in the range. Based on the Ravine board with the same shape and camber profile, but with different core materials and additives. The Ravine Select is a stiffer and more powerful version of the Rome Ravine. The Ravine Select is designed for the aggressive rider who want to charge down the mountain and float with ease in the deeper snow.
The Rome Ravine Selekt uses Romes Free the ride 3D camber which is designed to drive a lot of power through the back foot thanks to the camber in the back of the board. The high point of the camber sits behind the centre point of the board and then from there to just in front of the front contact point, is a mellow flat camber. This then moves into a reverse camber nose with the all new Directional Diamond 3D base bevel to give the nose a extra spoon shape. To translate that into performance terms it has a lot of power in the back with a mellow front and a big floaty nose which wont catch or dive under in deep snow.
To add to this Rome put a taper in the board of 7.5mm depending on size. This accentuates the livelyness and power you can drive through the back foot and also makes the back of the board more nimble rather than being wider like the rest of the board. The width does come into play when taking this one off piste aiding float no end and, your choice, does enable you to ride this board a size smaller if you do so wish.
The Carbon Omega Hotrods in the tail makes the Ravine Select much stiffer and with impact plates, Superpop core and Sinterspeed base you will be chargning down the mountain with a big smile.
The 2021 Rome MOD is one hell of a board, an all mountain freestyle killer! It will devour anything you put in front of it from steep chutes to handrails the mod handles it all with a breeze. This is the Wide version that is suitable for riders with bigger feet, size UK 10.5 (EU 45) or bigger.
Based on a traditional camber profile the MOD has plenty of pop, grip and response as expected with any standard camber board. This gives a super livley ride when blended with the 7-8/10 flex all in a true twin centre stance package.
To keep this board lively and drive more power Rome add their Carbon Omega Hotrods to the MOD in a reverse radial V, sounds fancy! This is a hollow sleeve which is milled into the finished core of the board. Into this sleeve a carbon rod is instereted which is only anchored at the central end of the sleeve. This allows the carbon to freely move in the sleeve so it isnt restricted by the core of the board and it can transfer all of its properties freely, more pop, more response, more life! They are laid up fron the edge under foor through to the centre of the tip and tail to ensure you can hold down big landings, transfer power in a heartbeat and pop higher than ever before be it an ollie or snapping in and out of carves. The raised 'bumps on the board are where this is allowed to move and where it is milled into the core, very clever, very effective stuff!!
Speaking of the core the mod is a very lightweight board thanks to 5 bands of lightweight low density wood sandwiched together with poplar wood. This means the MOD feels very light and nimble under foot with a very low swing weight so you can get in and out of turns like lightening and spin with ease.
The Mod is a really fast board too utilising Romes sinterspeed base which not only is rock solid it rides and glides incredibly fast. This gets matched with sinterstrong sidewalls which as the name suggest are also sintered so when you have this carving right up on i

The 2020 Rome Ravine, where to start!? Its a beast of a board, your all terrain powder board which can tear up any part of the mountain. Want to charge? It has you covered, want to do some mellow butters? It plays with ease, want to lay down some carves? It will show you how its done! One hell of a versatile board!
It uses Romes Free the ride 3d camber which not only is a huge mouthful but it is a very clever camber profile too. It is designed to drive a lot of power through the back foot thanks to the camber in the back of the board. The high point of the camber sits behind the centre point of the board and then from there to just in front of the front contact point is a mellow flat camber.

The width does come into play when taking this one off piste aiding float no end and, your choice, does enable you to ride this board a size smaller if you do so wish.
The Hot rods in the tail round this one off with some expolsive pop whether is is in and out of truns or popping off a fresh pillow line in the trees.
This one became an instant favourite of ours for all of the right reasons. Go charge the mountain, kick up some over head powder truns and carve like hell on the Rome Ravine!

To translate that into performance terms it has a lot of power in the back with a mellow front and a nose which wont catch or dive under in deep snow. With the addition of the Directional Diamond 3D shaped nose, the Ravine gives you increase float in deep snow, improve handling in variable terrain, smooth turn initiation, reduce edge catch and complement all-mountain riding in all-senses.
To add to this Rome put a 7.5mm taper in the board on all sizes. This accentuates the livelyness and power you can drive through the back foot and also makes the back of the board more nimble rather than being wider like the rest of the board. The width does come into play when taking this one off piste aiding float no end and, your choice, does enable you to ride this board a size smaller if you want a quicker edge to edge turn.

The Bataleon Party Wave is designed for everyone who wants to have an awesome time on the mountain. The shape is super wide for ultimate float in deep powder and increased stability. THis also means that you can down size 5-10 cm and riding a much shorter board. You can whip in an out of tree sections and the board is very quick edge to edge. The Party Wave has Directional Tapered Outline that gives it a big spoony nose with a high 3BT uplift and a shortened tail with a low 3BT uplift.
All Bataleon snowboards comes with camber profile that is complemented with Triple Base Technology. 3BT is the lifted sidebase areas at the widest points of the board, that helps the boards to turn smoother and faster and it helps when you are not completely clean on your landings. The Party wave also features SideKick that dramatically increases the sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail. This makes turn initiation even smoother, increases float in powder and handling of the board in rough terrain.
The Party Wave features Bataleon's Super Slick X Base. This is not a basic extruded base as it has the highest molecular content available for an extruded base. That means it’s super slick, durable and maintenance-free but the increased riding surface of the Party Wave, also means you have more stability and surface area so you can pick up a great amount of speed on this fun board.
This board is amazing in deep powder, super fun on the piste and awesome on warmer slushy days. The name is a giveaway.
The Bataleon Evil Twin is probably the most known Bataleon snowboard there is. It has been in the range since day one, but with a few updated along the way. But the feel and idea is the same. As the name suggest the Evil twin comes in a true twin shape.The Evil Twin has a medium flex that is leaning towards a more soft and playful feel, which makes it perfect for riding in the park.
All Bataleon snowboards comes with a camber profiled that is teamed up with the 3BT uplift at the widest part of the board, nose and tail. The Evil Twin comes with Bataleons Twin 3BT 3D shape. This shape has a wide centerbase area with a low uplift angle that begins outside the bindings for precision control with less hang-ups on the nose and tail. The wide centerbase offers a stable platform to press, load up ollies and put down landings, so you can have more fun with less bails. The Twin 3BT is boosted with the edition of SideKick, this feature dramatically increases the sidebase uplift at the widest points of the nose and tail. By having even even more uplift at the widest point of the board, turn initiation is even smoother and it also increases float in powder and handling of the board in rough terrain.
The Evil Twin is boosted up with Carbon stringers underneath the binding inserts for increased durability. The Central SuperTubes greatly increase the woodcore’s pop and reduce weight by placing one hollow carbon tube, milled into the bottom of the core, right in the centre of the board to enhance pop without stiffening the board torsionally.
The Nitro Dropout is a great all mountain, directional board that is ideal for attacking any part of the mountain. The surfy shape and forgiving flex makes it very versitile. The sintered base gives you a fast gliding base combined with a cam-out camber profile, with early and smooth transitions into tip and tail. The result is a fun and responsive board that you can charge down the mountain and turns on the spot.
The Dropout comes packed full of good features such as Nitro's Power Pods, which offer tons more grip. The power pods work by having one side-cut between your feet, which is slightly more aggressive than the side-cut on the outside of the inserts. The additonal contact point this creates, gives tons more grip back and really holds an edge well.
The Dropout has a directional shape with pointy nose a with stubby and very slight swallow tail to it, to make the Dropout charge powder, hold an edge like a beast, carves like a mad man on any pitch and slope and at any speed. Plus the drop out is still able to ride switch well, to put a smile on your face, no matter what part of the mountain you are attacking on the day.
Packed full of features for the price, the Dropout is a firm favourite of ours here at The Board Basement.

The 2021 Rome MOD is one hell of a board, an all mountain freestyle killer! It will devour anything you put in front of it from steep chutes to handrails the mod handles it all with a breeze.
Based on a traditional camber profile the MOD has plenty of pop, grip and response as expected with any standard camber board. This gives a super livley ride when blended with the 7-8/10 flex all in a true twin centre stance package.
To keep this board lively and drive more power Rome add their Carbon Omega Hotrods to the MOD in a reverse radial V, sounds fancy! This is a hollow sleeve which is milled into the finished core of the board. Into this sleeve a carbon rod is instereted which is only anchored at the central end of the sleeve. This allows the carbon to freely move in the sleeve so it isnt restricted by the core of the board and it can transfer all of its properties freely, more pop, more response, more life! They are laid up fron the edge under foor through to the centre of the tip and tail to ensure you can hold down big landings, transfer power in a heartbeat and pop higher than ever before be it an ollie or snapping in and out of carves. The raised 'bumps on the board are where this is allowed to move and where it is milled into the core, very clever, very effective stuff!!
Speaking of the core the mod is a very lightweight board thanks to 5 bands of lightweight low density wood sandwiched together with poplar wood. This means the MOD feels very light and nimble under foot with a very low swing weight so you can get in and out of turns like lightening and spin with ease.
The Mod is a really fast board too utilising Romes sinterspeed base which not only is rock solid it rides and glides incredibly fast. This gets matched with sinterstrong sidewalls which as the name suggest are also sintered so when you have this carving right up on its edge the sidewall will still glide well on the snow. These sidewalls also have increased amounts of el
