The 2026 Rome Artifact Pro takes everything you love about the original Artifact and cranks it up a notch. Maintaining its signature stability, pressability, and durability, this upgraded version features Carbon HotRods for extra pop and response, along with a SinterStrong base for enhanced speed and durability. The result is a more powerful, lively ride that still dominates the park while handling anything the mountain throws its way. With its ride-everything versatility and low-maintenance performance, the Artifact Pro has officially claimed its throne as the ultimate freestyle machine.
Board Type: Freestyle
Freestyle snowboards are built for park riders and those who love performing tricks on jumps, rails, and side hits.
Flex: 5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.
Ability Level: Advanced
Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks.

Camber Type: Stay Positive Camber
Camber is the most aggressive board shape, offering unmatched power, response, edge control, powerful turns, and poppy precision.
Width: Standard, Wide
Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.

Sidecut: Radial Sidecut
This single radius sidecut creates a familiar and consistent ride that supports any type of riding.
Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
