Burton Custom X 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 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 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). The Burton Custom X targets expert riders while the Salomon Assassin is aimed at advanced riders.
