2027 Salomon Assassin Snowboard
The 2027 Salomon Assassin was built by fusing Salomon's best powder and freestyle shapes into the ultimate one-board quiver. Over the years, the Assassin has evolved with a longer nose and tail shape to enhance performance in deeper snow while maintaining the freestyle versatility that made it a favorite both in the park and beyond resort boundaries. A Directional Twin shape paired with Rock Out Camber creates a ride that is equally comfortable on powder days, park laps, and side hits, while the Quadralizer sidecut provides precise edge control and maneuverability across the entire mountain. With a lively construction featuring Popster technology, Bamboo Rods, Carbon Stringers, and Basalt Boosters, the Assassin delivers the playful, poppy response riders expect from a true all-terrain freestyle board.

Shape
- Directional Twin: Twin shape and flex centered between the contact points with a setback stance for added float and drive without losing switch performance.
- EQ Rad Sidecut: Combines Equalizer and radial lines for a mix of precision and forgiveness, providing smooth turns and consistent edge grip.
Core

Laminates
