Snowboard - Rome Rene 157W
If you ever have one of those days when it is hard to find the stoke and inspiration, we strongly recommend watching a few clips of Finland’s very own human stick of dynamite: Rene Rinnekangas! If Rene cannot get you excited about snowboarding, we do not know what will.

Rome Rene was developed with Finnish style master Rene Rinnekangas and built for creative park laps, sidehits and all-mountain good times. It combines a stable and poppy feel with enough forgiveness for presses, butters and technical freestyle. This is a board for riders who want to go big while retaining a playful and relaxed feel underfoot.

The Directional Twin shape delivers a balanced freestyle feel that works equally well regular and switch, with a little extra drive and control when riding forwards. Fusion Camber provides pop and edge hold, while rocker in the nose and tail makes the board more forgiving and smooth through uneven terrain.

Pop Core and Directional Triple Bamboo Omega HotRods give Rene a lively mix of power and playfulness. The bamboo rods create natural pop, while carbon-reinforced Omega zones add response when loading jumps and sidehits. Triax Glass keeps the board stable as speed increases, and the SinterStrong Base provides good glide for both park laps and long days across the mountain.

Rene Wide is a wider version that suits you with larger feet. With a wider waist, you minimize the chance of your toes or heels catching in the snow during deep turns.

The snowboard is factory waxed and tuned, ready for the mountain.

Flex: 7/10
A responsive and lively flex with plenty of support for jumps and higher speeds, while remaining forgiving enough for presses, tweaks and creative freestyle.
The scale is based on 1 being “Soft and Playful” and 10 being “Stiff and Responsive”.

Riding style:
All-Mountain Freestyle. Choose Rene if you want to ride like Rene but would rather skip the effort that comes with a super-stiff full-camber board, and prefer something more accessible and pressable for park, sidehits, jumps, switch riding and creative laps across the mountain.

Snowboard Binding - Rome Katana AW FASE Black L/XL
The binding that has become a modern classic and a benchmark for ultra-adjustable premium bindings. If you are particular about your riding experience and the connection between your board and bindings, the Katana lets you fine-tune every detail.

Rome Katana AW FASE is the binding for riders who want fast entry without giving up the feel and control of a traditional two-strap binding. Step in with any standard snowboard boot, let the AutoBack close around your heel and tighten the FastStrap with one hand - then you are ready to ride.

The binding is built on Rome’s AsymWrap platform, which provides a surfy and tweak-friendly feel with excellent board contact. OmniFlex Ankle Straps and ProGrip Toe Straps distribute pressure evenly across the boot, while the 2° canted Dual Density Footbed absorbs vibrations and hard landings.

PivotMount FASE lets you move the ankle strap between several positions for more power or a looser feel. Katana AW FASE is faster and easier to use while retaining the response, comfort and versatility that have made Katana a favorite across the whole mountain.
 
Never Miss a Day Kit
Extra ladders, screws and washers are included with the binding, perfect if a small spare part is needed during the season.

We recommend matching the stiffness (Response Rating/Flex) of your snowboard, bindings and boots as closely as possible for the best performance from your setup. Ask us if you need help!

Recommended Use:
Katana AW FASE is ideal for riders looking for a lightweight, responsive and extremely adjustable binding for the whole mountain. It can be tuned from a surfy and playful feel to a more locked-in and powerful setup.
 
Response Rating: 6-8/10
Adjustability: 10/10

Recommended Level:
