Snowboard Life Top 25: Rossignol Levitation
November 6, 2000
Stacked with Rossignol extras, the Levitation begs for big-mountain burliness.
Jonathan claims, "This should be my pro model; it�s fast, damp, and sturdy." There�s a lot to be said for an empowering, confidence-building board, but Jonathan would first have to take out Jeremy Jones�he rides this sled straight out of the factory wrapper.
Rossi�s trademark Dualtec construction, which combines cap and sandwich sidewalls, is responsible for the strong edge hold, and its too-trick-to-explain THC core lends both dampening and snap (more dampening than snap, really)�making for a well-rounded ride.
With just a dash of freestyle inspiration, the Levi takes some motivating in small turns and at low speeds. But its sure-fire stability in hard-snow, BX, and plus-size terrain can�t be beat.
