When Salomon team rider Louif Paradis wants to get in touch with his bad self, he reaches for the Salomon The Villain Snowboard - no moral discussion needed. The Villain simply slays the park like nothing else, with its carbon-infused poppy personality and user-friendly Rock Out Camber design. A centered stance and 3 degree base bevel between the bindings mean this board is extremely receptive to spins and butters, enough to seduce any rider to a life of Villainy.
Rocker Type
Rock Out Camber – Flat between your bindings for stability, camber near the feet for response, and rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.
Flex
Flex Rating – 3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Shape
True Twin – Freestyle specific: Identical tip/tail lengths, symmetrical core profiling, flex and a centered binding stance.
Quadralizer Sidecut – Explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic sidecuts allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.
Core
Aspen Select Core – Every single FSC certified wood strip is hand selected to ensure unparalleled core quality and lightness.
Popster Booster – Popster's shaped core profile thins out under foot and thickens outside your bindings before tapering again at tip and tail to maximize the natural snap and pop of wood. Booster adds carbon stringers to the standard Popster to radiate all of the energy from under your feet to the tip/tail, maximizing pop.
Laminates
Triaxial Fiberglass – A fiber and glass tech core that increases board life and durability for all riders.
Biaxial Medium Density Fiberglass – Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
Sidewalls
Slingshot Sidewalls – Carbon inlays that help load and release energy. It provides reactivity under the feet.
Base
Sintered Base – An industry standard for quality sintered base materials. Provides a moderate balance between the speed created by a hard surface and good wax retention.
Medium Stone Finish – A medium structure finish that improves base glide. Quicker in all snow conditions, from cold morning corduroy to spring slush.
Edges
Freestyle Edge Bevel – From detuning the tip and tail to a 2-degree edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut, back to a 3-degree bevel between the feet. This delivers the complete blend of edge hold and forgiveness on rails.
