It’s all change for the Huck Knife for 23/24; with an all-new shape, steeper nose, and tail transitions, Salomon’s ground-breaking freestyle board steps it up a whole new level. Built to destroy everything in the park, this stunning freestyle board delivers the ultimate feel, balance and control, allowing you to take your riding to the net level. However, thanks to its combination of that new state-of-the-art shape with the advanced profile and class-leading construction, the Huck Knife isn’t a board that only restricts you to the park. Get this board out onto the mountain, and it’s one of the most fun-to-ride boards you can strap into, turning the whole mountain into one giant freestyle playground.
Rider Style
The Huck Knife is aimed at freestyle riders of all ability levels looking for a fun and playful board that transcends regular freestyle board limitations.
Shape Overview
The Huck Knife’s all-new shape is all about delivering a fun, balanced ride that gives the rider the ultimate in feel and control. The revised tip and tail shape have been tweaked to reduce swing weight even further, ensuring that you always feel like you have total control no matter how technical your riding gets. The steeper nose and tail design allows the board to handle steep transitions without adding extra length or weight. That new tip and tail design allows the designer to dial in a little more effective edge length giving the board a more stable feel underfoot and enhancing carving performance. Salomon utilises their state-of-the-art EQ Rad sidecut to help the Huck Knife deliver its all-terrain ride without compromising its freestyle feel. This innovative profile combines equaliser and radial lines to create the perfect balance of control and fun.
Profile
To ensure that the Huck Knife delivers the perfect combination of pop and control, it utilises Salomon’s innovative Quad Camber profile. This advanced profile blends the responsive nature of camber with the more playful characteristics of rocker in the tip and tail, delivering a board that is almost unsinkable in the pow, stable at high speed and playful in the park.
Construction
Internally the Huck Knife’s construction is headed up by the advanced Popster Booster Aspen SLCT Core. Profiled with Salomon’s innovative Popster milling, its combination of thick and thin zones through the length deliver the perfect balance of freestyle skate-inspired flex and all-terrain response. Carbon beams running from the inserts to the tip and tail further enhance this profiling. This combination allows the board to flex but gives it a poppy rebound, enhancing ollie power and making it more dynamic underfoot. Salomon uses their innovative BA MD glass structural layers to elevate the Huck Knife from a soft freestyle board into a more performance-orientated one. This mid-density bi-ax glass reinforced with pre-cured tri-ax inserts creates a playful torsional flex but still gives the board a poppy and responsive feel when you get out into the mountain. The rail-friendly Royal Rubber Pads underpin the Huck Knife’s freestyle board nature. These soft rubber blocks inserted into the high-pressure zones of the ABS Sidewalls dampen vibration and mellow big impacts.
Base
To finish off the Huck Knifes versatile construction, Salomon utilises their tough and fast sintered base.
