Expert reviews 1
The Salomon Assassin is an all-mountain all-rounder that balances stability, pop and a catch-free feel through a flat-camber-rocker blended profile and distinctive core shaping. It's the optimal choice when intermediate to advanced riders want to enjoy varied terrain — park, powder, carving — on one board, and it's the most versatile and popular model in Salomon's lineup.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid camber
A flat/camber/rocker hybrid profile: flat between the feet, camber descending outside that, then rising into rocker just before the tips. It provides stability, pop and a catch-free feel at the tips all at once.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex using Bax MD glass. Core profile shaping and carbon stringers at the tips give it a soft feel while realising the spring and pop of a stiff board.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A board designed for intermediate to advanced riders; its soft feel combined with the ability to cope with aggressive riding suits riders with a degree of experience.
Good
- ✓The flat-camber-rocker blended profile provides stability, pop and a catch-free feel at once
- ✓Core thickness shaping and carbon stringers in the tips secure excellent pop and spring even at a medium flex
- ✓Royal rubber pads damp vibration and improve edge durability
- ✓All-mountain versatility to cover varied terrain including park, powder and carving on one board
Not so good
- —It isn't suitable for beginners, making it hard to recommend as an entry board
- —By the nature of a directional twin, it has limits compared with specialised boards for dedicated freestyle tricks or extreme powder riding
