The 2027 Salomon Abstract with Ride C-2 Bindings is a unisex freestyle setup for riders who want one board for park laps, street sessions, and the occasional all-mountain detour. It pairs a true twin shape with Rock Out Camber, a medium flex, and a multi-radius sidecut. The hybrid profile flattens through the center for press-friendly handling without giving up pop. We paired the board with the C-2 bindings because these well-rounded all-mountain bindings perform well in most conditions or terrain. A moderate flex makes them stiff enough to charge on groomers but not too demanding that you can’t take them in the park. Built with durable material to last season after season making them a great choice to pair with the board.

Why we like it:

Ghost Carbon Beams in the tip and tail load it up with explosive pop when you really stomp a feature, which is what separates it from softer entry-level park boards. The Royal Rubber Rails on the sidewalls take real abuse from rails and boxes without losing structure.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to advanced freestyle riders who treat the whole mountain as a park. It handles street-style riding, jib laps, and traditional park duty in equal measure, and the unisex sizing works for riders of any gender.

Highlights:

The True Twin shape behaves identically switch or regular, and the Quadralizer sidecut gives you multiple turn radii along the edge. Rock Out Camber runs flat through the center with camber underfoot and lifted tips, which is where the press-friendly handling and lively pop come from. The core is an Aspen and Popster blend with Ghost Carbon Beams, TRIAX HD Fiberglass, and 30% bio-based resin. Royal Rubber Rails reinforce the sidewalls for rail-heavy riding, over a Sintered base for everyday durability. The composite chassis provides durability without excessive weight, while Ride’s cored ankle straps hug the boot securely without pinching. The footbed is canted to reduce fatigue and promote better stance alignment.

Things to consider:

Riders who prioritize hardpack carving or deep-snow float will find it less specialized than a freeride-leaning board, since freestyle versatility is where it lives. The symmetrical tip and tail also mean soft-snow float will not keep up with a directional shape.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Pick your usual size, dropping down for jib-leaning riding that prioritizes agility on rails and boxes, or going up for stability on bigger features. Larger-footed riders should grab a wide variant.
