What size should I choose for my AllRoad 900 board?
In the All Mountain/freeride range, you choose -10 or -15 cm (for example, someone 1m74 tall can take a board between 1m59 and 1m64). Since the All Road has rocker, you can take it a little bigger. Smaller boards are easier to ride. This is recommended for people who are light in relation to their height. If you're taller, you'll be more stable at higher speeds.
154cm (55 - 70 kg) => from 1m64 to 1m70
160cm (65 - 80 kg) => from 1m69 to 1m77
166cm (80 - 110 kg) => 1m75 and up to 1m85
A word from the product manager
The All Road 900 board is an evolution of the Dreamscape 700. The brief was as follows: anyone who loves Dreamscape should see no difference in the ride. The only evolutions are:
_ The design
_ The shape of the nose and tail
_ A little more setback for buoyancy in powder.
_ And one more size, the 154 cm to suit girls ... well :-)
Otherwise, all the "engine" of the board remains the same (shape, camber, wood core, flex, ...).
Wooden top sheet
For the 1st time in the Decathlon snowboard collection, we have chosen a top sheet made of wood, ash to be precise.
It is saturated with resin to age well. It minimizes the use of fossil fuels. It adds style and matches the character of the all-road 900 board: piste / carving / powder.
Good to know about wood top sheet
Since wood is a natural material, its appearance and grain will vary from one model to another. Each plank is unique.
_ Wood will also "live" with the seasons, and in places will darken slightly. To limit this natural ageing, you need to wipe it down well each time you use it.
_ after long-term tests, between 45 and 80 days, the surface was visually and normally altered, and still allowed 100% use of the board, so we validated it.
Program and practice area
The All Road 900 board is designed for 2 types of terrain:
- The slope, and big, sharp turns: thanks to its radius of curvature, its directional shape, its rigid flex and above all its rigid torsion which gives it excellent grip
- Off-piste: thanks to its big front rocker and its large setback (35 mm), it has everything it takes to float above the powder.
Directional snowboarding
The shape of the board is directional, i.e. it has a front and a back. It's not symmetrical, the rear of the board is slightly narrower than the front, and the bindings and setbacks are a little further back. A directional shape offers better grip during the turn, better control of the trajectory and more boost out of the curve.
Classic camber + rocker
We retain all the advantages of classic camber (thanks to the board's elasticity, classic camber acts like a spring to provide grip on all types of snow, dynamism in edge-to-edge transition and recovery on exit from turns) with the added benefits of rocker (under stress, the board's points of contact with the snow are brought closer together, making the board more maneuverable). The rocker lengthens and lifts the tip so that the powder flows more easily under the board.
Rigid, powerful flex (8/10)
The flex is the stiffness of the snowboard between the front and back.
The flex of the All Road 900 is 8/10, the board is stiff for dynamic edge-to-edge transition and recovery.
Powerful, rigid twisting
Torsion is the board's torsional stiffness between the feet.
The torsional stiffness of the All Road 900 is around 8/10, which is stiff and powerful. It provides great grip and cornering even on very hard snow at full speed.
On the other hand, the All Road 900 is a physical board: you need thighs to ride it, especially all day long.
Setback 50 mm
Setback is when the board's support points on the snow are not symmetrical in relation to the center of the board, but are shifted backwards. The bindings are then also shifted backwards by the same distance.
50 mm : very important setback for directional freeride boards. This helps to lift off the ground, as the weight is on the rear of the board. Naturally, the front leg lifts and the powder rushes under the board. It also takes the weight off the back leg.
Recommended fasteners
_ The Snb 500 binding or the Salomon Rythm binding are traditional, high-performance snowboard bindings for exploiting the piste, carving and off-piste potential of the All Road 900.
_ The Flow Nexus binding for those who want a fast, easy-to-use binding.
When should you wax your snowboard?
Decathlon snowboards leave the factory waxed. They're ready to slide. Like all snowboards and skis, they require regular maintenance: ideally, they should be waxed every 5 outings, and at least once a year: - either at the start of the season, to get off to a great start - or at the end of the season, to let the wax protect the base all summer long.
Glide quality: sintered sole
The soles are made of polyethylene, but using 2 different technical processes:
- extruded soles, with a certain density of polyethylene
- sintered soles, with a higher density of polyethylene (fewer holes, more PE).
A sintered sole is the Rolls Royce of soles. The glide is really fantastic."
Can the store mount the bindings on my board?
Yes, there's a video on how to assemble the bindings in this product sheet, but you can ask your local store to assemble the bindings with your own settings. Remember to take your pair of snowboard boots with you to ensure 2 correct settings:
1. That of the binding from front to back, so that the boots don't protrude more from the toes than from the heel, or vice versa
2. The straps on your binding, which must fit snugly over your boots.
Board weight
154 cm : 2.50 kg +/- 5%
160 cm : 3.17 kg +/- 5%
166 cm : 3.21 kg +/- 5%
0% Park: can I do jumps with this board?
Yes.
0% Park simply means that the characteristics of this snowboard are not compatible with freestyle: the board isn't short, it isn't symmetrical from front to back... All freestyle moves, rotations, jumps landing upside down, etc. are still possible, but it's really not the most suitable board.
On the other hand, on piste, off-piste and backcountry, you can do all the jumps you want.
