The Villain 2021
Product not eligible for returnThe Villain is a Freestyle snowboard by Salomon for confirmed riders. No more and no less than the pro-model of the famous Canadian rider Louif Paradis, the Villain is back this season with a design as unique as ever!
The Villain has earned its place among the references of freestyles boards in the last few years and not for nothing. Whether it's on paper or in practice, the Villain is a perfect park snowboard and has all the characteristics of a pure freestyle board.
Its True Twin shape, centred stance and Rock Out Camber are the perfect blend for a stable and airy ride . Its flex is ideal for rails and presses, offering very good relaxation and fluidity during landings.
The Villain is a lively and reactive board in turns thanks to its TriaxGlass fibreglass and its Aspen Select Core wood core. Designed to take on anything, the Freestyle Edge Bevel edges are slightly elevated to avoid bumping on rails or to cope with slightly tense landings!
Park, jib, street, sidehits, grind... the Huck Knife is made for all the freestyle aspects of snowboarding!
Made to give you the stability and power you need under your supports, the Villain will make your head spin!

Camber :
Rock Out Camber (Camber+Rocker) : Flat profile between the bindings for stability, camber underfoot for responsiveness and a rocker at both ends to optimise pressability. The Rock Out Camber is designed for high-level performance in the snow park thanks to its blend of flat profiles, camber and rockers for comfort underfoot and very responsive turn initiation.
Shape:
- True Twin : Freestyle specific: Identical nose/tail lengths, symmetrical core profiling, flex and a centred binding stance.
- Quadralizer : The explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic means you can carve at great speed and gives you exceptional edge control during narrow passages.
- Freestyle EB : The angle of the edges is softened at the extremities, while the incline of the edges is 2 degrees on the key parts of the sidecuts and increases to 3 degrees between the feet. This delivers the complete blend of edge hold and forgiveness on rails.
;Core:
- Popster Booster : Add carbon stringers to the standard popster and you get all the energy from under your feet radiating on the nose/tail maximizing pop.
- Triax : Fibre tech core that increases board life and durability for all riders ripping park and streets.
Technologies :
- Medium stone finish : A medium structure finish that improves our fast sintered base glide. Quicker in all snow conditions, from cold morning packed snow to spring slush.
- Slingshot Edges : Carbon inlays that help load and release energy. It provides reactivity under the feet.
- Compatibility : 4x2 inserts
The Villain is a freestyle board that is very versatileto have fun in any situation. The pop and camber make it easy to move in and out of the kicker.
