Arbor Rain vs Salomon Assassin

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle and freeride riding. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Arbor Rain has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), 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). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
