Rome Artifact Snowboard 2018

Rome Artifact Snowboard 2018

A team favorite since day one, the Artifact is the truth for park crews, diehard rail heads and van travelers. Positive camber with a Glass Single Barrel HotRod for super-sized ollies, spinning off your toes and greasing DFDs. Stable enough to ride away from deep landings and 5-0 whatever’s in your path, the Artifact is built for riders who are riding the parking lot QP until the car starts.

Tech

Stay Positive Camber

Design: Positive camber through 100% of the running length.

Defining Feel: "Pop" defines the feel of this camber profile. For riders who love pop off lips, pop from turn to turn, pop in their pow slashes, and pop into and out of rail tricks, there is no other choice. This is the feel that they need. Driven by our team riders and long-term shreds, you'll find this camber in all mountain boards and park boards.

True Twin: Our true twin shapes are perfectly symmetrical. If you cut the board in the dead middle of the board the nose piece and the tail piece will be identical in shape and flex. If you remove the graphic from a true twin, there is no way to tell the nose from the the tail. With their balanced feel and equality toward switch riding, this shape helps drive the personality of our park boards and the more jump oriented all mountain freestyle boards.

Stomp Core: For added strength in the park, we add zones of higher density wood in key areas to fight against impacts and deep landings.

Skatecore Profiling: To give some of Rome's park boards the feel of turning a pair of skate trucks, Rome slightly thins the core profile between the feet and increases core thickness under the bindings. The result is a board that turns like a skate deck, but locks into tricks and pops like snowboard.

StraightBiax Laminate: For boards where the focus is on fun and a more mellow feel, pure 90 degree fibers drive the personality.

Rebound Sidewalls: Found in rail boards like our Artifact series, our Rebound Sidewalls feature higher elasticity than normal ABS sidewall material so you can run laps in the park every day of the season and have a board that takes a beating and comes back for more.

Hot Rods: Glass Single Barrel - Found in both TurboRod and HotRod technologies, a single barrel of carbon, glass or bamboo delivers more pop in the centerline of the board without any unwanted torsional power to increase freeride edge hold.  

Impact Base: For park boards and boards that our team riders take to the streets, we've created a stronger extruded compound to help fight against the abuse of rails and boxes.
