Built for all-mountain thriving, the Assassin Pro features Salomon's lightest Ghost Green Core and Rock Out Camber for freestyle functionality and effortless float. A laundry list of tech like Ghost Carbon Beams, Gunslinger Sidewalls, and Popster Core offer a highly responsive flex balanced with a smooth ride for high performance in all conditions.
Camber Profile
Rock Out Camber – Flat between your bindings for stability, camber near the feet for response, and rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.
Flex
Stiff
Shape
Directional Twin – A twin shape for freestyle moves with a directional flex for power at high-speed.
Quadralizer Sidecut – Explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic sidecuts allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.
Core
Ghost Green Core – Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light paulownia wood.
Popster – Popster's shaped core profile thins out under foot and thickens outside your bindings before tapering again at tip and tail to maximize the natural snap and pop of wood. Feels like your skateboard kicktail finally connected with your snowboard.
Laminates
Ghost Carbon Beam – Two carbon beam inserts in the tip and tail for maximum pop and increased stability during high speed charging.
Sidewalls
Gunslinger Sidewalls – These sidewalls implement carbon inlays that run the full length of the board to meet the reaction and shock absorption needs of all riders.
Base
Sintered EG – Engineered for a super fast glide in everything from fresh pow to sticky spring snow. Sintered material provides superior wax retention, Gallium strengthens impact resistance, and the Electra finish gives a turbocharged glide.
Fine Stone Finish – Fine stone finish helps speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
Edges
All-Mountain Edge Bevel – A 1° edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut meets a 2° bevel between the feet. This delivers the most solid edge hold with no hang-ups.
