GNU Upgrade C2E 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 (camber/rocker) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The Salomon Assassin is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
