Fun board all over the mountain. Cool shape with the double kick. Really easy to press and feels stable on steel. Snappy and easy to Ollie. I would prefer it to be a little stiffer that would be the only thing that I feel could improve it a bit. Overall sick board.
After just 14 days of use, the board is no longer rideable. The base has started to chip and crumble along the edges. In over 20 years of snowboarding, I have never experienced anything like this with any board.
Unfortunately, my warranty claim was rejected.
I am extremely disappointed with the quality and the way this issue was handled. Based on this experience, I will not be purchasing a Rome SDS product again.
Bought this board from my local shop a couple weeks ago. Took it out for the first time today and I couldn’t get down the hill. I did two “runs” and left. I have rode Burton, Capita, Libtech, NeverSummer, and I have never felt anything like this. Not sure if mine didn’t get waxed or they’re all like this. Not saying it’s a bad board, Im not sure yet, but it’s really annoying my brand new snowboard won’t slide down a hill.
I was looking for a daily board to work as an instructor, ride park, groomers, and a bit of pow for my 2024/2025 season. I'm fully satisfied since this board allows you to carve very hard with the wide size and flex is so playfull for freestyle riding, flat tricks and butters ! Definitely one of the best boards i've ever had. Well done Rome Snowboards !
Upgraded from the Artifact 152w to this Artifact Pro 155w and WOW. Tons of pop and the stay positive camber feels great under the feet.
Rome is really onto something with this combo. This thing jibs like a dream while simultaneously having the stability to hit the rest of the mountain. The camber profile really works in its favor and is actually more catchy than you would expect from a park board. So much so that it threw me off the first time I rode it. But once I got the sweet spot figured out this quickly turned into the best thing I'd ever strapped my feet onto. On day one I felt better than I've ever been on a snowboard. Edgehold is incredible especially when paired with a middle of the road flexing binding (in my case the union force(new/updated)). But when you want it to press it does it and it does it well. The double kick works extremely well in making a stable platform when pressing while also helping it charge through chunder. It'll still get a little flappy but nothing an experienced rider with bent knees can't handle and ride right out of. It also helps you ride out if you get a bit tail or nose heavy. Precise on takeoff but really helps you stop out those landing. Doesn't seem washy to me at all really.
My GAWD does this thing have power. Boosting sidehits, popping out of a press, generating power between carves. You can really feel the stringers and camber come into play. This thing charges. I love this board and think that Rome has made a serious contender here. So much so that I'm heavily considering getting an agent pro to use as an all mountain ripper because I just love the formula that makes up this board so much.
If you want a board that can jib, take jumps well, pop to the moon, and be surprisingly stable on groomers while searching for those sidehit lines. This is it. It's a blast. You won't be disappointed.
Flex board can make the butter tricks easily, also it's a entry level for park board, hit the jump, shifty on box, yeah no problem!
The flex and the power when you ollie is amazing!!!
Like the title its a great board, lots of pop, very fun to ride around the park. But… the only thing I can complain about is that the top design feels cheap. After one 8 hour session on it, the top of the board is starting to peel off. Nonetheless I love the board and highly recommend it
So funny , playfully and in the same time very precise. I like a lot , and the wild version is sweeet
The artifact was a sweet ride from first chair lift to last. Held its edge on rock hard packed groomers and delivered on the pop!
L'artefact était un doux trajet du premier télésiège au dernier. A tenu son avantage sur les pistes dur comme la roche et livré sur le pop!

Rode camber then switched to a Rome flat board for 6+ years. i have only done 1 day of snowboarding park with the artifact (camber) so far… I hate to admit it but I felt so much more comfortable approaching features especially ramps with the camber artifact.
I am a lighter guy (140) and I lacked speed on my flat board and would knuckle 1-3 times a year…but with this board i am worrying about over shooting and im stomping landings… i can also do the same butters with the camber as I can do with flat (with surprised me) usually when i try my friends camber boards I catch edges.
But when using the artifact, I can can feel the board dig into the snow which makes me more aware of my edges and makes stomping landings much cleaner.
This new board has increased my confidence, skill and airtime. I love rome and will never get a board from another brand.
Awesome board for rails and kickers. Nice pop but easy pressing/ buttering. One of the widest true twintips for jibbing in the wide option. I am 184cm/ 87kg/ mondo 28,5 and the 155wide is just perfect. In this size the artifact might be the widest jibbing board. Most other true twintips are powder twins or all mountain. The width was important for me and I had to choose between ride twin pig and this. Also the camber profile is awesome for ollies. Love this board!!!
Man I love this board I’ve been a rocker guy my entire snowboarding career (Capita Ultrafear) but I bought this guy due to my board being in the shop and needing one for my comp that weekend. It butters like a dream jumps beautifully and it absolutely RIPS
Can't try it before February but what I can say is that it came to France super fast and in perfect condition. Super service from Rome!
This beast is so sexy, can't wait to unleash it!
Incredibly playful, came in perfect conditions. I love it
hey man, you can't go wrong with boards from Rome and Bataleon.. sophisticated technique, punk approach and most of all a bunch of total snowboard fanatics.. cheers
Had a great experience, needed help and got reply within that day
Haven’t ridden it yet, because the season hasn’t started yet, but surely it does look fabulous 😋
Yes, I’m here mainly for a promised reward for a review. But can’t lie either, review is hella honest - board looks beautiful and can’t wait till I can ride it
Tavola divertente e jibbosa, comoda anche per insegnare?
It’s true parkmachine, but it also works on groomers and in the pow.
Best board ever, super pop and super stable! Love riding it
Bought the Artifact as my new Park board. I mainly ride rails and this board checks the boxes of what I wanted. The camber and hot rods give the board all the pop and power I was looking for while still keeping a softer flex like I like. It was really comfortable for me too, some boards take a little getting used to, this one was like an old friend from day one.
Aside from the camber, flex, tech, etc., I chose Rome because I got about 13 long seasons on my last Rome snowboard. In my experience Rome Snowboards' quality is as good as any warranty or customer service.
My go to board for jibbing around in the park
Good flex and really forgiving
I love it
Good friendly board for my beginner friend, he said he likes it.
