24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Rossignol Evader is a beginner all-mountain board with an AmpTek cam-rocker profile, and a soft flex plus long rocker sections suit beginners learning to link turns and pick up basic freestyle. However, stability, power and pop are all lacking for intermediate and above riders, who will quickly feel its limits — it's a board focused on acquiring entry-level skills rather than carving, park or high-speed riding.
It's an adequate choice for beginners moving from rentals to a first purchase, but an upgrade should be considered as skills grow.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid rocker
Rossignol's AmpTek all-mountain camber profile, made up of 40% nose rocker + 30% camber underfoot + 30% tail rocker. Rocker takes the larger share, and the camber section is relatively short and centred — a cam-rocker hybrid layout.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft flex — not a complete noodle, but clearly softer than middle. There's plenty of play at the nose and tail, and torsional flex is very supple so ankle steering is easy. The section between the insert packs is the stiffest part.
