Burton Custom X vs Salomon Assassin Pro

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Burton Custom X leans more freeride. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Burton Custom X has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Salomon Assassin Pro 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).
