Rome Artifact Snowboard 2024
A Rome classic that's worth considerably more than something dug up in a farmer's back yard (at least when you're on snow), the Rome Artifact Snowboard is a softer freestyle ride that balances a forgiving nature with tons of energy. Rome's Stay Positive Camber and Bamboo PopRods give your ollies extra juice and a PowerSlide base means extra durability for long hours on rails.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Stay Positive – Powerful and predictable, tried-and-true camber.
Flex
Flex Rating – 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
True Twin – Boards built with fully symmetrical specs; sidecuts, flex patterns, camber profiles and nose and tail lengths. True twin boards are great for riding switch.
Double Kick – Double Kick is an aggressive two-part rise in the boards nose or tail, built for increased pressability and better landings.
Core
Stompcore – 100% Poplar Construction is Rome's most stable and predictable core.
Bamboo HotRods – Thin rods of bamboo are milled into the board’s core starting just inside the insert packs and extending into the nose and / or tail. Bamboo HotRods are very pressable and playful.
Twin Single – A single HotRod in the board’s nose and tail; pressable yet poppy.
Laminates
Biax Glass – Fiberglass with two different axes, built to be torsionally more playful and pressable.
Flax Impact Plates – Built to lessen impact and dampen chatter, these woven flax plates are built under the board's insert packs.
Base
PowerSlide Base – An upgraded, faster and more durable extruded base.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Inserts

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.

Flex Rating:
Medium

Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
