The Salomon Assassin snowboard and Rhythm binding package pairs a directional twin board built for all-mountain and freestyle terrain with a binding that keeps the ride forgiving while a rider grows into it. The Assassin's Rock Out Camber profile holds an edge on firm snow and stays pressable in the trees, and the Rhythm's asymmetrical highback and soft flex support every turn without punishing a rider still building toward the board's upper range. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I linked my first full run through the trees on this setup without the binding fighting me on entry, so the next step up on the Assassin didn't feel like it happened all at once."
