2023 Rossignol Jibsaw

As a true twin freestyle board, the Rossignol Jibsaw is a great option for intermediate through advanced riders who spend a lot of time in the park, but also love to use the mountain’s natural features as a de facto playground. Built with a wood core, the Jibsaw features Rossignol’s Amptek Elite Rocker Camber which gives the board an uncommon amount of energy from tip to tail. For having a flex rating of 6 out of 10 on Rossignol’s scale, they certainly are able to pack a lot of punch into a relatively mid-flex ride. This gives the Jibsaw a huge range of performance attributes, from high-speed carving to technical tricks in the park. As a twin-tipped board, it’s equally at home riding forwards and backwards, allowing the rider to put a lot of emphasis on playfulness and creativity.

In addition to the Amptek Elite profile, the Jibsaw also gets Rossignol’s 7S serrated edges. This technology has been around for some time, but it never seems to get any less amazing. With seven points of contact on each side, the Jibsaw has unbelievable grip on firmer snow, and it doesn’t get any worse the higher the edge angle. Feel free to lean right into the edges of the board, and you’ll have a fantastic feeling of confidence and power in each and every carve. Whether you’re using it in the park, pipe, or on the groomers, the 7S serrated edges give this Rossignol board a leg up on almost anything else out there that does not use this type of technology.

Andy Hull rode the 159 and found it to be true to size. He scored it top marks of 4 out of 5 for torsional stiffness, edge grip, flotation, stability, quickness, maneuverability, and forgiveness. Overall impression and versatility got 3’s so we’re seeing a nice and even spread of scores for this well-rounded board. Andy states that “This board wanted to be on edge or in a turn the whole time. It was super stable going switch and a true Twin board. Ability level would be mid pack, good transition board from beginner to getting more advanced.” The flex lines up well with the grippy nature to make it both accessible and high-end. That’s the type of versatility and top-flight prowess that makes the Rossignol Jibsaw such a great option for a wide range of riders.

If you’re in the market for a playful twin that just so happens to rip up the groomers, look no further than the Rossignol Jibsaw. It has a fantastic blend of shape, profile, and construction that make it a formidable addition to the freestyle twin category, mainly because of its additional benefits of edge grip and groomer performance.
