Construction and Materials

Although you’ve got a little bit of camber in this board, the combo profile means it wouldn’t naturally have as much pop as a full camber board. But Salomon have this covered by adding in a Popster Eco Booster made up of a shaped, wood core profile and bamboo rods that help to add a lot more snap when you’re looking to boost yourself clear of the floor. It’s also their most eco-friendly set up for boosting your pop.

Who’d have thought an Assassin would save the world? But Salomon’s ABC Wrapper uses structural bamboo instead of fibreglass and resin in the boards laminates. Alright, it won’t save the world but 40% less nasty glass & resin = 40% better vibes.

Just like last year the traditional rubber sidewalls have been updated to Salomon’s Royal Cork Rails which help to dampen the board down a little to reduce chatter at high speeds and protect your edges should you start clattering them into the side of rails.

Roundup

For us mere mortals the assassin is the ideal candidate for a daily driver to explore and rip around the whole resort. But as much as it is an all-mountain board, that subtle, clever freestyle tech designed to give you stability underfoot and extra pop means that if you want to channel your inner Victor Daviet you can throw down some absolute monsters on this silent, quiver killer.

In short, it’s pure-unadulterated fun wherever you take it. What more can you really ask for?
