Arbor Draft vs Salomon Assassin

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. The Arbor Draft uses a twin shape while the Salomon Assassin is directional twin. The Arbor Draft has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Salomon Assassin uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Salomon Assassin is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $419.95 vs $649.95 MSRP, the Arbor Draft is the more budget-friendly option.
