The 2026 Salomon Assassin continues its legacy as one of the most versatile freestyle boards in the lineup, blending all-mountain power with park-focused agility. With a directional twin shape, balanced flex, and a construction designed to handle everything from side hits to big air impacts, the Assassin is a true freestyle multitool for riders who demand it all.

Why we like it:

This board hits a rare sweet spot, it’s poppy and pressable for freestyle laps, yet stable and powerful enough for rutted out in-runs or massive impacts. A genuine do-it-all weapon.

Who it's for:

Best suited for intermediate to advanced riders who want a freestyle board that doesn't feel confined to the park. Perfect for creative, all-mountain shredders who want one board that can handle groomers, pow laps, and late-day jump sessions without missing a beat.

Highlights:

Rock Out Camber gives the Assassin its distinctive mix of edge hold and playfulness, with camber underfoot for pop and response, a flat section for stability and the ability to pivot, and rocker at the tip and tail for forgiveness and float. Popster Eco Booster and bamboo stringers amp up the energy and rebound, while the Quadralizer sidecut sharpens turning precision without making it feel twitchy. It’s a board that thrives under a rider who likes to push boundaries on natural and manmade features alike.

Things to consider:

While it’s incredibly well-rounded, the Assassin leans more freestyle than freeride. Riders looking purely for powder float or big-mountain stiffness might want something more directional and aggressive.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Rides true to size for most riders. Those spending more time in the park may want to size down slightly for quicker spins and easier presses.
