The 2023 Salomon Assassin continues to impress year after year with its all mountain versatility and is a perfect option for any rider looking for a snowboard that can do it all. Float in pow, feel incredible stable on groomers, lock into rails, and land huge jumps without fault thanks to the mid stiff, directional twin shape and build of the board. There is no surprise why the Assassin is the choice board for many Salomon pro riders and once you get one under your feet you will see just why that is.

Shape: Directional Twin
This board rides like a true twin but has a floatier nose for enhanced performance in powder.
Quadralizer - The Quadralizer sidecut takes Salomons signature straight line Equalizer sidecut and makes it quadratic, which enhances edge grip, agility, and allows you to perform both big arcing carves and tight aggressive turns.
Core: Aspen Select
A full Aspen wood core with every piece being hand selected for unrivalled quality.
BA MD Glass - Medium Density fibreglass that guarantees consistent quality and light, lively performance.
Popster Eco Booster - Pop meets eco performance. Popster shapes the woodcore profile with strategically placed variations of thickness, providing skate-influenced snap and pop. Eco booster adds bamboo rods for more natural power.
Base: Sintered EG
High speed and good wax retention, so you can go faster for longer. The Sintered EG base has an Electra finish for turbocharged glide and Gallium for extra impact resistance.
Mounting Pattern: 2x4 Inserts
Additional Features:
ABC Wrapper - ABC Wrapping uses structural bamboo veneers to reduce fibreglass and resin content in each board by 40%. Traditional ABS sidewalls are replaced by waterproof bamboo rods, going one step further for the environment. This added bamboo gives the board a lively feel with explosive ollies and reactive turns.
Royal Cork Rails - Cork is added to the sidewalls under your feet for an environmentally friendly way to dampen your ride and absorb impact along your edges.
All Mountain Edge Bevel - Pre-tuned edges for strong edge hold with less catch.
