Salomon Fastback 163

Awesome board that works for everything! Stable and incredible cut in class with the burton T6 (I know both have), however, considerably cheaper. Regarding the fact that it would break, I have experience of. Possible that happened to those who came in the first year of 2002.

Strenghts:
comfortable
You get a new one if it breaks

Weaknesses:
crack

Summary:
be happy with it until it burst after 3 dar .. but get a new board so it will not matter

Wrecked my new two days. Worthless ... But how nice!

I drove on fastback 167 this winter down in chamonix. Certainly fastback is how nice both in the piste and outside, but unfortunately nothing tolerates it. The structure of the board is based on some kind of carbon layer located at the center of the board to make the rudder a bit stiffer. This carbon layer dropped over the steel edge and the loading sides opened on all four fastbacks that I broke into four first weeks of my season. I bought the first braeder in Sweden got two
from the test center in Chamonix and I picked one at the factory and all broke down the same way. Something is wrong with the design. Just hope that they will arrange this for next year's model.

Model year: 2001
