Rome Powder Division Swallow Tail 148 2019 Snowboard uni Tablas 543529

Quick, powerful turns and immense floatation in the pow - the Rome Powder Division Swallow Tail​

The Rome Powder Division collection features three board profiles with different shapes and floatation technology. Tuned especially to ride powder. The Powder Division Swallow Tail is the shortest and widest board in the Powder Division collection. Technologies such as the Powder-S 3D Camber profile combined with a swallow tail creates a board with unbelievable float and manoeuvrability.

Riding Style
A freeride/powder board for intermediate to advanced level riders. Shape, design, profile and construction have been specially designed to deliver the best performance in powder. Maximum flotation and manoeuvrability for deepest snow.

Shape
The nose of the directional shape is longer than the tail. The bindings and the sidecut are slightly set back towards the tail. This increases stability at higher speeds and the float in powder. The Swallowtail increases the effective edge at a short board-length for quick, buoyant, snappy turns in powder. A tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, this enhances deep snow flotation. 

Profile
The Powder-S 3D profile combines a spoon-shaped 3D rocker nose with a classic camber under the bindings. This provides a lot of float at the front and stability and edge control at the back.

Flex
The medium-stiff flex provides you with a lively board that allows you to stay in control at all speeds and pop over everything.

Construction
The Pop Core Matrix features two zones of ultra-lightweight wood converge with a body of snappy responsive poplar for a buttery yet high-powered flex. The StraightBiax Carbon laminate comes with integrated carbon strands to increase the pop of the 90-degree BIAX fibreglass. TurboRods bring a new approach to loading ollies and building pop. Rome starts by milling channels into the board’s core, then they insert carbon rods that rest freely inside sleeves with a single point of attachment. The rod is anchored only towards the centre area of the board, leaving the outside tip of the rod to flex freely inside the sleeve. This means the TurboRods engage the tip and tail of the board to load maximum spring, creating a more active flex pattern and effectively self-dampening after pop occurs.
