Product Details

Rocker Type

Stay Positive Camber – Rome innovated the concept behind this camber back in 2010 and ran it for several years in the Anthem SS– possibly a bit ahead of its time given the anti-camber craze of those times. This design features positive camber through nearly all of the running length of the board. The result is nearly all the responsiveness of positive camber, but with smoother turn initiation and a touch more float in powder. Great for all-mountain responsive snowboarding.

Flex

Response Rating – 9 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)

Shape

True Twin – A true twin snowboard shape is ideal for riders who want to ride switch and do some tricks. The nose and tail are identical and the flex is evenly distributed throughout the entirety of the board. True twins are perfectly symmetrical.

Core

AirPop Core Matrix – Five zones of ultralight woods and air channels combine with snappy poplar for maximum lightweight response.

Laminates

TurboRods | Reverse Radial V – Rome’s TurboRod technology puts pop-enhancing rods inside of sleeves for more dynamic response in the tip and tail. Because the rod moves independently from the sleeve, it is able to load more energy and increase pop. This arcing pattern starts under the bindings and bends towards the middle of the board at the contact points in the nose and tail. This maximizes the focus of rider energy into the center of the board for ultimate ollie pop, with only a little added torsional response.

Z-Tech 1.0 Laminate – One of the most advanced, exotic materials in the world, Zylon is lighter, stronger, and more poppy than carbon. So when Rome lays it down the centerline of their boards, it adds a big kick of response. The 1.0 is a 1-inch wide version for a healthy dose of added response.

SuperlightBiax Laminate – Rome’s ultra-lightweight biax pattern helps provide an even-flexing, fun, torsional feel; perfect for boards with the otherworldly pop found in Rome’s TurboRods.

Base

SinterCarbon Base – For our fastest boards, we take a high-end sintered structure and add carbon to it to increase the speed. Carbon additives reduce friction with the snow, which makes you go even faster.
