The 2026 Salomon Fastlane is an adrenaline-fueled freeride board built for riders who thrive in steep, deep, and difficult terrain. Its tapered directional shape, pin tail, and backseat camber work together to deliver effortless float in powder while maintaining control down the mountain. With an aggressive flex and incredible stability at high speeds, this board is engineered for precision and to have the confidence in the most demanding conditions. Packed with advanced tech for a lightweight yet damp ride, the Fastlane is built to handle anything the mountain throws your way.
Board Type: Freeride-Powder
Freeride snowboards are built for steeper, off-piste terrain. These boards are ideal for aggressive riding and usually for more advanced riders.
Powder snowboards are designed for deep snow. Generally these boards feature a directional shape with a tapered tail for better float and ease of riding.
Flex: 9/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Stiff snowboards are precise, responsive, and built for advanced riders tackling high speeds, steep terrain, or icy conditions. They deliver powerful turns, excellent edge hold, and enhanced stability, especially during aggressive riding.
Ability Level: Advanced
Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks.
Shape: Tapered Directional
A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. While it excels in one direction, the taper helps the board naturally guide you through challenging conditions.
Camber Type: Backseat Camber
Camber under the back foot delivers precision and control, while flat segments under the front foot provide float in deep snow.
Sidecut: Quadratic Sidecut
A mix of elliptic curves enables smooth turn initiation, seamless direction changes, and fluid edge-to-edge transitions.
Width: Standard
Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.
Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments.
Board Construction
Laminate: B/FX Ultra, BA MD Fiberglass, Popster, Damplifier, 30% Bio-Based Resin
B/FX Ultra uses two natural fibers; flax and carbon, to get the best weight:power:dampening ratio giving a smoother ride.
BA MD medium density fiberglass is used to create a light and lively board.
Popster mills the core inside of the inserts, allowing the board to flex more naturally and energy is transferred to the nose and tail more efficiently for extra pop.
Damplifier adds ABS and cork insert to the nose, unwanted vibrations are absorbed for a smoother ride.
This bio-based resin is made 30% of plant material, offering a high performance resin with a low environmental impact.
Core: Aspen SLCT Core
By using hand selected Aspen wood strips, this core is of the highest quality offering next level lightness.
Sidewall: 66% Recycled ABS Sidewalls
A recycled ABS sidewall uses post-consumer or industrial plastic for durability and impact resistance while reducing environmental impact. It strengthens the board's edges, absorbs vibrations, and enhances stability without compromising performance.
Base: 50% Recycled Sintered Base
A high-quality sintered base material made of 50% recycled materials, offering a balanced combination of speed from a hard surface and good wax retention.
