Burton Process vs Salomon Assassin

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Salomon Assassin leans more freeride. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The Salomon Assassin is noticeably stiffer at 7/10 versus the Burton Process's 3/10, suiting more aggressive riding. At $549.95 vs $599.95 MSRP, the Burton Process is the more budget-friendly option.
