What's the right size of AllRoad900 board for me?
Choose -10 to -15 cm on the All Mountain/freeride (e.g. a person who is 1.74 m tall should choose a board between 1.59 m and 1.64 m in length). Because the All Road has a rocker, choose one a little larger. If you choose a shorter board, it will be easier to control. This is advised for people who are light for their height. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed.
154 cm (55-70 kg) => from 1.64m to 1.7m
160 cm (65-80 kg) => from 1.69m to 1.77m
166 cm (80-110 kg) => 1.75m to 1.85m
A word from the product manager
The All Road 900 board is the Dreamscape 700 evolution. The brief was the following: all those who like the Dreamscape should not notice any difference in ride. The only changes are:
_ The design
_ The shape of the nose and tail
_ a little more setback for buoyancy on powder.
_ And an extra size, the 154 cm for girls... finally :-)
Otherwise, the "engine" of the board remains identical (shape, camber, wood core, flex, etc.).
Wooden top sheet
For the first time in the Decathlon snowboard collection, we have selected a top sheet (top of the board) made of wood, ash to be precise.
It’s covered in resin so it ages well. It minimises the use of fossil materials. It gives it style and matches the character of the all road 900 board: piste / carving / powder.
Good to know on the wooden top sheet
_ Wood being a natural material, the appearance and grain of the wood will be different from one model to another. Each board is unique.
_ The wood will also "live" the seasons, and will slightly darken in places. Wipe it well with each outing to reduce this natural ageing.
_ after long-term tests, between 45 and 80 days, it was visually and normally altered on the surface, and the board could still be 100% used so we approved it.
Programme/terrain
The All Road 900 board is particularly designed for 2 types of terrain:
- The slope and large carved turns: thanks to its turn radius, its directional shape, its rigid flex and above all its stiff torsion, it offers excellent grip
- off-piste: with its big front rocker and large setback (35 mm), it has everything you need to float on powder.
Directional snowboard
The shape of the board is directional, that is to say that the board has a front and a rear. 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 on exiting turns.
Standard camber + 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 can glide better over powder.
Rigid and powerful flex (8/10)
Flex is the stiffness of the snowboard between the front and rear.
The flex of the All Road 900 is 8/10, the board is rigid to be dynamic when shifting from edge to edge and picking up speed.
Stiff, powerful torsional flex
Torsion is the stiffness of the board between the feet.
The All Road 900 has a rigid, powerful torsional flex of about 8/10. It offers plenty of grip and support in turns, even on very hard snow and at full speed.
On the other hand, the All Road 900 is a physical board: you need strong muscles to steer it, especially if riding for a whole day.
50 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 set back towards the rear. The bindings are also set back towards the rear by the same distance.
50 mm: very strong recoil for freeride directional boards. This helps with the lift, as the weight is on the back of the board. Naturally, the front rises and the powder rushes under the board. It also relieves the rear leg.
Recommended bindings
_ The Snb 500 binding or the Salomon Rhythm bindings are the high-performing traditional snowboard bindings for making the most of the All Road 900 on the slopes, carving and off-piste.
_The Flow Nexus binding for those who want a quick-release binding
When should you wax your snowboard?
Decathlon snowboards come out of the factory waxed. They are ready to ride. They then require regular maintenance like all snowboards and skis: ideally waxing every 5 outings and at least once a year:
- either at the beginning of the season to start with a very good slide - or at the end of the season, leaving the wax on to protect the base throughout the summer.
Glide quality: sintered sole
The bases are made from polyethylene using 2 different technical processes:
- extruded base, with a certain density of polyethylene
- sintered base, with a higher density of polyethylene (fewer holes, more PE).
A sintered base is the Rolls Royce of bases. The glide is really fantastic.”
Can I get my snowboard bindings fitted in store?
Yes. On the product page, you'll find a set-up support video, however you can also ask your store to fit your bindings to suit your own 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 to your boots.

166 cm: 3.21 kg +/- 5%
0% Park: can I perform 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 when backcountry skiing, you can do as much jumping as you like.
