Salomon Abstract 2026

The 2026 Salomon Abstract is built for ultimate versatility, blending the best elements of the award-winning Gypsy and Villain into a unisex board that excels in any environment. Featuring a balanced mid-flex profile and Salomon’s renowned Rock Out Camber, it delivers the perfect mix of stability and power underfoot. While designed with park and freestyle performance in mind, the Quadralizer sidecut ensures exceptional edge hold on groomers, allowing for precise carves and aggressive turns beyond the park. Break free from limitations and ride with creativity—whether in the park, the streets, or anywhere the mountain takes you.

Board Type: Freestyle

Freestyle snowboards are built for park riders and those who love performing tricks on jumps, rails, and side hits.

Flex: 5/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)

Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.

Ability Level: Intermediate

Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.

Shape: Twin

A twin-shaped snowboard is symmetrical with an identical tip and tail, designed for equal performance riding forward or switch. It’s perfect for freestyle tricks, spins, and jumps, offering balance, stability, and control in both directions.

Camber Type: Rock Out Camber

Flat between the bindings provides stability, camber near the feet adds response, and rocker at the tip and tail enhances pressability.

Sidecut: Quadralizer Sidecut

By combining Equalizer and Quadratic sidecuts, multiple radii, long and short, are used to create a sidecut for high speed carving and edge control.

Width: Standard, Wide

Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.

Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.

Inserts: 2x4 Inserts

These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments.

Board Construction

Laminate: Tri-Ax Glass, BA MD Fiberglass, Popster, Ghost Carbon Beams, 30% Bio-Based Resin

Tri-Ax Glass is a fiberglass core set at three different angles that increases durability and the overall lifespan of the board.

BA MD medium density fiberglass is used to create a light and lively board.

Popster mills the core inside of the inserts, allowing the board to flex more naturally and energy is transferred to the nose and tail more efficiently for extra pop.

The addition of two Ghost Carbon Beams in the tip and tail offer maximum pop and stability at high speeds.

This bio-based resin is made 30% of plant material, offering a high performance resin with a low environmental impact.

Core: Aspen SLCT Core

By using hand selected Aspen wood strips, this core is of the highest quality offering next level lightness.

Sidewall: Royal Rubber Rails

Full-length rubber sidewalls offer maximum dampening and protection, ensuring a smoother ride and greater durability.

Edges: Freestyle Edge Bevel

For superior edge hold and forgiveness while on rails and boxes, a 1.5 degree base edge bevel is added.

Base: Sintered Base

A high-quality sintered base material, providing a balanced combination of speed from a hard surface and good wax retention.
