2026 Salomon Abstract Snowboard

The 2026 Salomon Abstract is a high-energy freestyle twin designed for riders who see the whole mountain as a creative outlet. With a playful flex, explosive pop, and confident edge hold, it’s just as comfortable locking in tricks in the park as it is hunting side hits and spinning off cat tracks. Back for 2026 with a bold new graphic, the Abstract stays true to its performance-driven roots.

Why we like it:

It’s a lively, responsive board with serious freestyle chops, there’s enough energy here for big tricks, but it still feels accessible and fluid whether you’re pressing rails or carving through sidecountry.

Who it's for:

Ideal for intermediate to advanced freestyle riders who want a true twin that doesn’t shy away from carving, jumps, or progression in all directions. Park-focused riders will love the pop and balance, while all-mountain freestylers will appreciate the energy and control.

Highlights:

Rock Out Camber combines a flat section between the feet with camber underfoot and rocker at the contact points, giving the Abstract a perfect blend of stability, snap, and play. Carbon Boosters and the Popster Core deliver serious energy and lift, while the Quadralizer sidecut enhances edge control for quick, precise turns. Whether you're on rails, booters, or resort side hits, it’s all fair game.

Things to consider:

It’s not a noodle. While it is freestyle-focused, the stiffer flex and carbon additives give the Abstract more snap than softness, great for pop, not ideal for casual cruising.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Rides true to size for balanced freestyle performance. Riders looking to emphasize jib and press control might consider sizing down slightly.
