When you picture a Juggernaut, you most likely envision a strong and powerful being with great stamina. Capable of tackling anything that is thrown its way, the Juggernaut is certainly a force to be reckoned with. When naming a snowboard, only the most deserving would claim such a title as the Juggernaut. When Rossignol aptly named it, they did so knowing the combination of strengths and attributes exhibited by the Juggernaut board. Truly in a league of its own, this freestyle-focused board blends precision, agility and stability all in one to deliver unbeatable control and high performance in and out of the park. With energetic responsiveness and laser-sharp edge grip, the lightweight wood core and carbon fiber blend delivers an ideal strength-to-weight ratio for lively pop yet with a stiff flex. The true twin freestyle shape makes the whole entire mountain your personal playground, with reliability and power upon any and all landings. Rather than your classic, soft and forgiving park board, Rossignol went a step further by designing a powerful yet maneuverable board for park and side hits galore.
PREFERRED TERRAIN
All Mountain, Park, Groomers
Andy Hull enjoyed his time on the 158 in length, noting that it felt just right. He found the Juggernaut to be “a true twin with just a bit of rocker, but mostly camber between the feet. Ability would be more advanced. Was more stable and stiffer than the Jibsaw and you could let it "run" out of corners while the Jibsaw wanted to be turning constantly. Would be a fun all mountain board for a park type rider.” It’s always great to see a tester’s feedback align perfectly with what the board is intended to do. For his scores, we see all 4s out of 5 except for 3’s in flotation and forgiveness. Given the fact that it has a stiffer flex and is more freestyle-oriented, we could see why those categories lacked slightly for Andy.
Max Connolly and Eric Gagnon both tested the 155 in length and thought it was the right size. Their scores were remarkably similar, if not exact, with the exception of two categories. While Eric found forgiveness and torsional stiffness to be worth of a 4/5, Max scored slightly lower. With the rest earning 4's and 5’s in the exact same categories, it’s safe to say that both of these testers thoroughly enjoyed their time on the Juggernaut. Eric “loved this board. Playful but responsive, couldn’t ask for a better all-around board.” Pretty darn positive if you ask me! For Max, he thought that “this board was a blast. Definitely want to get on it in the afternoon when things soften up. Not ideal for fast, hard groomers. Everywhere else this thing rips. The average to advanced rider would love this board.” Another elated review yet with helpful insight regarding when not to ride it.
The Rossignol Juggernaut is in a class of its own, emanating brute strength and power yet with the eagerness to pop around with energy. For riders who want to ride the entire mountain but prefer spending a lot of the time in the park, the Juggernaut will exceed expectations.
