SALOMON ASSASSIN 2018-2019 SNOWBOARD REVIEW

With very few exceptions, there’s not a snowboard brand out there worth its salt that doesn’t make a do-anything, go-anywhere all-rounder. These boards often stay in the range for years, building a solid reputation as a versatile, accessible option. The Salomon Assassin is one example - but rather than getting stagnant, it’s constantly being revised and improved.

The outline is still as twin as they come, and as the paint-job suggests it is definitely designed for switch riding. However, the newest incarnation has a more directional flex. The difference between the nose and the tail in this respect means that when riding in powder you should get a better performance when leading with your front foot. It’s subtle, and hardly revolutionary, but sometimes these little tweaks can make all the difference.

SALOMON HOLOGRAM 2018-2019 SNOWBOARD BINDINGS REVIEW

We’ll admit to being a little disappointed that the striking ribcage-esque highback of last year’s Salomon Hologram snowboard bindings has been discontinued, but the new-look design betrays no drop in quality. In fact, this already-impressive model has been souped up further still for 2018/19.

We’ll start with that highback; the considerable cut-out section makes it fairly flexible, as well as lightweight, but it’s still supportive enough for when you want to hammer fresh groomers at Mach 10. It’s also really easy to apply exactly the right amount of rotation and, if it’s your thing, forward lean.

The Salomon Hologram bindings are built around the ‘Shadowfit’ system, which has a soft heelcup. Comfort is off the charts, as no matter what size or brand of boot you ride, it’ll instantly have a perfect fit with an even distribution of pressure.
