Burton Free Thinker vs Salomon Assassin Pro

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Burton Free Thinker leans more freeride. The Burton Free Thinker uses a twin shape while the Salomon Assassin Pro is directional twin. The Burton Free Thinker 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).
