Rome Artifact 2026/2027

Rome Artifact is a true twin park and jib snowboard built on full traditional camber, and it sits at the soft, forgiving end of Rome's twin lineup — a board made for butters, presses, switch riding and park laps all day. Rome rates it a 4 for flex, soft and playful on their Playful-to-Precise scale, and the shape is symmetrical end to end with a centered stance, so switch rides exactly like your regular direction. Waists run 251.5 mm at the 147 up to 268.7 mm at the 160W.

The camber is the part worth understanding. Rome's name for it is Stay Positive Camber — traditional camber running the full length of the board, not a rockered or flat profile. That gives the board real pop off a jump and an edge that holds when you set it, instead of the loose, washy feel of a rocker deck. Underfoot, a Bamboo HotRod stringer runs through the core to keep it pressable and lively, and Flax Impact Plates sit around the inserts to take the sting out of flat landings. The PowerSlide extruded base is made for rail and box abuse — durable and low upkeep rather than race-fast.

This is a park-first board that will still cruise the groomers, not a powder or high-speed all-mountain board — Rome maps it 9 for park, 6 for all-mountain, 4 for powder, and a soft twin with the stance dead center has nothing to lift the nose in deep snow. Eight lengths span the 147 through the 160W, and the wide sizes are 154W, 157W and 160W for larger boots. Boards ship as bare decks, so you will need bindings — we fit them and dial your sizing in the shop.
