Which size should I choose?
Choose -15 cm to -20 cm on the All Mountain (a 1.74 m tall person should pick a board between 1.59 m and 1.54 m in length). Because the All Road has a rocker, choose one a little larger. Shorter boards are easier to control. Also advised for people who are light. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed. 158 cm (60-80 kg/132-176 lb) => 1.70-1.75 m 163 cm (75-90 kg/165-198 lb) => 1.75-1.82 m 168 cm (85-110 kg/187-242 lb) =>1.8 m and above
A word from the product manager
We wanted to develop a versatile board for riders who are not interested in snow parks. This board is suitable for on-piste and off-piste use without requiring high levels of fitness and technical skills. So much fun!
Program/terrain
The 500 All Road snowboard is the all-mountain board par excellence: 50% piste and 50% off-piste. You can go anywhere, on all types of snow, on groomed slopes, off-piste and on powder, as well as on crusted snow thanks to its elongated front tip, made thinner to catch less. This is why the nose (front tip) has this particular shape. Not for use in snow parks: this board is not designed for modules or riding switch.
Directional snowboard
The shape of the board is directional (has a front and a back). It is not symmetric, the tail of the board is slightly narrower than the nose, and the bindings as well as the board's contact points on the snow are slightly set back. A directional shape gives better edge grip when turning, better control of the trajectory, and more acceleration when exiting turns.
Standard camber and rocker
All the advantages of both the standard camber (thanks to the board’s elasticity, a standard camber serves as a spring to provide grip on all types of snow, edge-to-edge dynamism, and recoil when coming out of turns) and the rocker (under constraint, the board’s points of contact with the snow come closer together, making the board more manageable). The rocker elongates and raises the nose so that it glides better in powder.
Medium and versatile flex (6/10)
Flex is the stiffness of the board between the front and rear. The flex of the 500 All Road Snowboard is about 6/10, which is average and makes the board versatile. It is reliable in carved turns and forgiving of edge mistakes.
Medium and versatile torsion
The torsional stiffness, which measures the stiffness of the board to twisting between the feet, is about 6/10 on the All Road 500—stiff enough for stability in turns, acceleration on exiting turns, and liveliness in edge-to-edge transitions. This makes the board suitable for intermediate to advanced levels, while remaining very accessible physically.
25 mm setback
The setback is when the board’s compression points on the snow are not symmetrical in relation to the centre of the board but are set back toward the rear. The bindings are also set back toward the rear at the same distance. 25 mm setback = significant setback for directional boards. This provides better stability in turns and more lift in powder because the weight is at the rear of the board, so the front naturally rises.
Recommended bindings
3 possible options: - the SNB 500 binding is an efficient, traditional snowboard binding that allows you to benefit fully from the All Road 500’s capacity to tackle slopes, carving, and off-piste runs. The angle of the spoiler can be adjusted. - The high performance SNB 100 binding is suitable for tighter budgets but has fewer adjustment options. - The Flow Nexus binding is suitable for those who want quick-release bindings.
When should you wax your snowboard?
Decathlon snowboards come waxed. They are ready to ride. Like all snowboards, they require regular maintenance. Ideally, you should wax them every 5 outings and at least once a year: - either at the beginning of the season to start with a very good glide - or at the end of the season so that the wax protects the base all summer long
Glide quality: sintered base.
The bases are made from polyethylene using two different technical processes: - extruded base, with a certain density of polyethylene - a sintered base, with a higher density of polyethylene (fewer holes, more PE) A sintered base is the ultimate in bases. It offers fantastic glide.
What does “wide” mean on a snowboard?
Our Wide boards are wider than usual to prevent larger feet from touching the snow when executing a hard turn and stop you from falling. From shoe size 10 upward, it is best to choose a Wide board. “Wide” is the width of the board at the centre. At Decathlon, we have defined them as follows: - up to 254 mm: normal board/shoe size 3 to 9 - from 255 mm to 264 mm: mid wide/shoe size 7 to 11 - from 265 mm: wide/shoe size 8.5 to 13
How do I set up my snowboard bindings?
Yes. You can ask your store to fit your bindings to suit your preferences. Remember to take your snowboard boots with you for 2 adjustments: 1. The front/back of the binding so that the toes or heels of the boots don’t stick out on one side more than the other 2. The straps on your bindings, which should be properly adjusted for your boots.
Board weight
158 cm: 2.87 kg (6.3 lb) +/- 5% 163 cm: 3.09 kg (6.8 lb) +/- 5% 168 cm: 3.21 kg (7.1 lb) +/- 5%
0% park: can I do jumps with this board?
Yes. 0% park means that the technical features of this snowboard are not designed for freestyle riding: the board is neither short nor symmetrical at front and back, making it possible to perform all freestyle movements (turns, jumps with a switch landing etc.) but it's not really the best board. However, on- or off-piste and in the backcountry, you can do all the jumps you like.
