Product Info
Nothing entirely new here. Just the guaranteed stellar performance of a classic cambered deck with a little modernity thrown in. The Rome Mod RK1 Stale Snowboard is the choice ride of Stale Sandbech thanks to its ability to rail precise carves and nuke through powder all in the same day. To improve longevity, Rome used TurboRods and Z-Tech 1.0 laminates to strengthen the core and quicken the board's return for powerful ollies until it's retired -- if ever. Cause some serious wreckage this season on the pro-model Rome Mod RK1 Stale Snowboard.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Stay Positive Camber – For the last 30 years or so, there have been a group of riders who demand positive camber to fuel their snowboarding. This group includes most team riders, shop owners, 100-day locals and many at Rome. The reason they demand positive camber is for the unmatched pop and response that it gives a snowboard. Whether you are railing turns, ollieing off the lip of a jump, or stomping a landing, many riders think there is no better shape to have under foot. Great for riding everything with power.
Shape
True Twin
Core
Air Pop Core Matrix – Rome adds five zones of ultra low density wood for lightness. Increased lightness with air channels to reduce weight.
Laminates
TurboRods | Carbon Reverse Radial V – A single rod of dynamically-flexing carbon in the centerline for longitudinal pop without unwanted torsional stiffness.
Z-Tech 1.0 – Centerlin Zylon, in a one inch strip, adds ollie power and lengthwise overall pop.
SuperLightBiax Laminate – Rome's ultra-lightweight biax pattern helps provide an even-flexing, fun, torsional feel; perfect for boards with the other-worldly pop found in TurboRods.
Base
SinterCarbon Base – Carbon additives help reduce friction and make the base super fast. A highly porous structure soaks up the wax.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Inserts

Freestyle, All-Mountain

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. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

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

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
More
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.
