This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Salomon Wonder is an all-mountain board combining hybrid camber with a directional twin, with a clear leaning toward carving and park. Hardpack edge hold and pop are its strengths and it works well in the pipe too, but it's weak in powder and rough snow and unforgiving of skidding.
It's a good-value choice for intermediates and above who have moved beyond beginner level and want to take on carving and park seriously.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A camber-based hybrid with a directional twin shape and 10mm setback laid on top. It gives a somewhat locked-in feel with clear pop and carving bias, and with little rocker at the tips, powder float is limited.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium flex. There's ample pop for park kickers and response in the pipe is good. It isn't on the forgiving side, though, so pushing turns can catch an edge.
