Expert reviews 1
The Rossignol After Hours is a directional freeride board with an 80% camber / 20% rocker hybrid profile and a 7/10 stiff flex, and its greatest strength is delivering high-speed stability and agile manoeuvrability at once. It delivers dependable performance across varied terrain including steeps, off-piste, powder and carving, and creative riding using natural terrain is possible too. It's strongly recommended to advanced and expert freeriders, but it isn't suitable for park- or freestyle-focused riders.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
Rossignol's Amptek Elite Rocker profile — a combination of roughly 80% positive camber and 20% rocker at the nose and tail. It maintains stability and precision while the rocker smoothly aids float and turn initiation.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A stiff flex at 7 out of 10. Torsional flex is comparatively supple so quick twisting is possible, while stiff nose and tail deliver excellent high-speed stability and energy transfer. A break-in period is needed for it to perform fully.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A hard 7/10 flex, a strongly directional freeride bent and demands for high-speed stability suit advanced to expert riders. A long break-in period and awkward switch riding make it unsuitable for beginners and intermediates.
Good
- ✓A freeride board that provides both excellent stability at speed and lively manoeuvrability
- ✓Light Grip technology combined with positive camber delivers outstanding edge hold even in poor conditions such as ice
- ✓It provides dependable all-round freeride performance across varied terrain including powder, steeps, off-piste and carving
- ✓Directional setback and taper secure ample float in powder too
Not so good
- —It isn't suitable for park riding or freestyle performance such as buttering
- —Switch riding feels awkward and uncomfortable, limiting bidirectional riding
- —With 145 as the smallest size, there are no smaller size options for petite women riders
- —The stiff flex needs a break-in period, and lighter riders may find initial adaptation difficult
