Which size Allroad 500 should I choose?
Choose -15 to -20 cm on the All Mountain (for example, a girl who is 1.66 m tall should choose a board between 1.51 m and 1.46 m in length). Because the Allroad 500 has a rocker, choose one a little larger. If you choose a shorter board, it will be easier to control. This is also advised for people who are light for their height. A bigger board will be more stable at high speed.

A word from the product manager
We wanted to develop a versatile board for all those who are not interested in snowparks. This board is suitable for on-piste and off-piste use without requiring top fitness and technical level. So much fun!
Programme/terrain
The Allroad 500 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, of course, on powder.
Do not go to the snow parks: this board is not designed for modules or riding switch.
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.
Medium and versatile flex (6/10)
Flex is the stiffness of the board between the front and rear.
The flex of the Allroad 500 is about 6/10, which is medium and versatile. It is reliable in carved turns while also being forgiving of edge mistakes.
Medium and versatile torsion
The torsion, i.e. the torsional stiffness of the board between the feet, is about 6/10 on the Allroad 500 board, which is fairly stiff for good hold in the curves, recovery coming out of a turn and responsive edge transition. This also makes the board suitable for intermediate to advanced levels, while remaining very accessible physically.
15 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.
15 mm setback = significant setback for directional boards. It gives better stability in turns and lift in powder snow because the weight is at the rear of the board which naturally makes the front rise.
Recommended bindings
With the SNB 500 binding, the board + binding combination will be very homogeneous in terms of level and the design is coherent.
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
- a 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.
Board weight
147 cm: 2.60 kg +/- 5%
152 cm: 2.70 kg +/- 5%
157 cm: 3.00 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, you can do all the straight jumps you like.

Tips for storage and maintenance
Storage tips
Dry edges at the end of the day to prevent rust. <br /> Ideally, wax every 5 outings. <br /> Storing for the summer: keep away from sunlight, you can leave your bindings on the board.
