Rome Artifact Snowboard - Rocker 2017

Flex Rating 3/10

Freepop Rocker:
Flat camber in the mid-section of the board meets up with rocker in the nose and tail to create a super versatile feel and response. The flat camber zone gives stability and directional response, playfulness in all types of snow. Great for riders who like to balance creative trick selection with solid al-mountain freestyle performance.

SkateCore Profiling:
To give some of our park boards the feel of turning a pair of skate trucks, we slightly thin the core profile between the feet and increase the core thickness under the bindings. The result is a board that tunes like a skate deck, but locks into tricks and pops like a snowboard.

Regardless of the board's flex profile, we firmly believe that all snowboards should load up energy and release it dynamically. This is key for ollieing, transitioning from one turn to the next, and exiting rail tricks. We've innovated a menu of pop-enhancing technologies to inject all our boards with this kind of feel. Dad boards suck. Lively, responsive boards rule.

Stomp Core Matrix:
Zones of high-density wood are integrated into a body of responsive wood for added strength with pop.

StraightBiax Laminate:
90 degree fibers create a fun playful flrx perfect for cruising, lapping parks or ripping bowls.

HotRods Single Barrel:
A single rod in he centerline, this pattern adds ollie pop while letting the rest of the board flex normally.

Quickrip sidecut:
Teamed up with our rocker boards, the goal with QuickRip Sidecut is to create a board that does two things: it needs to be nimble and maneuverable at slow speeds, and it also needs to be powerful and precise at high speeds. We achieve this by integrating two off-set sidecuts that create on sidecut zone in the nose, one between the feet, and one in the tail. Where the center section meets the other two sections, we have created Mid-Board contact points serve as the end of the running length at slow speeds, giving the board that fine-tuned control at slower speeds. They also serve as edge "bumps" that grip the snow and increase precise power at high speeds.

Rebound Sidewall:
For some of our park boards that take a lot of impact on features, we've developed a sidewall compound that is more elastic than traditional sidewalls. So you can land disaster more times without damaging your board.

Impact Base:
Our high-density design that stands up to the abuse of park and street snowboarding.
