This hand-selected Aspen core is reinforced with bamboo rods to deliver a poppy and powerful flex through the length. This then goes through a unique milling process which creates thick and thin zones through the length, allowing the designers to dial in the perfect flex. Now to give the Assassin its stunning all-around performance, Salomon utilises a combination of medium-density bi-ax glass structural layers and their unique ABC Green Roll construction. This mix of a Bamboo top sheet, basalt reinforcing in the nose and tail and cork sidewalls, steps up control and performance without overly affecting the Assassins freestyle inspired feel.BaseTo ensure that the Assassin lives up to its high-performance credentials, Salomon fit their Sintered eG base with fine stone finish. This Galium infused electra base is both super-tough and super-fast, ensuring that this will be one of the fastest boards on the mountain.
