2022 Rossignol Snowboards Overview

Last Updated by 7 Comments

2022 Rossignol Snowboards

The following is a quick overview of the 2022 Rossignol snowboards lineup.

First I will take a look at any new boards for the 2021-22 season, and any 2020-21 boards that aren't returning with a 2022 model.

Then I'll place each board into the categories where I see them fitting best.    

2022 Rossignol Snowboards

New 2022 Rossignol Snowboards

The new boards for 2021-22 are: 

  • Resurgence - New all-mountain board that takes over from the Templar. It looks to be very similar to the outgoing Templar, but there are a few differences. The sizings are slightly tweaked (e.g. 153, 156, 159 in place of 153, 155, 158 for the regular widths) and the dimensions are slightly tweaked too (e.g. on the 153, the sidecut is marginally different, width the same but nose and tail length slightly tweaked). Also the camber is now 50% camber in the middle with 30% rocker towards the nose and 20% rocker towards the tail (versus the Templar which was 30% rocker tail, 30% rocker nose and 40% camber). Even though this sounds like a lot of changes, they all look to be quite subtle differences and overall, it's not hugely disimilar to the outgoing Templar. 
  • Airis - New women's all-mountain board, that replaces the Frenemy. The changes between the Airis and the Frenemy are very much like the changes between the Resurgence and the Templar. Overall a very similar board to the outgoing Frenemy.   
  • Afterhours Split - New splitboard version of the After Hours.  

Exiting 2021 Rossignol Snowboards 

The 2021 boards that aren't returning with a 2022 model: 

  • Jibsaw Elite - I guess there was too much overlap with the Juggernaut, though they certainly weren't the same board.  
  • Templar - replaced by the Resurgence - not exactly but very similar.  
  • Frenemy - replaced by the Airis. Not exactly, but very similar.  
  • XV Sashimi LG Light 
  • XV Sushi LF Light 
  • XV Diva Split - not a like for like replacement, but the After Hours Split comes in, so there is still a women's split board in the line, but it's quite different with the After Hours being quite a different board. The After Hours does make more sense as a split board than the Diva, IMO, so I think this was a good move.

All 2022 Rossignol Snowboards by Category

Below, I have categorized Rossignol's 2021-22 lineup. This is according to the categories here at SnowboardingProfiles.com and not necessarily the same as how Rossignol might label them.

Of course these are only broad categories as every board is different, but this is a rough guide.

Summary

So there you have the 2022 Rossignol snowboards. 

Out with the Old

The "Light" versions of the XV Sashimi and XV Sushi are out, in addition to the Jibsaw Elite. 

Also exiting are the Templar and Frenemy, which would be a bigger deal, except that the Resurgence and Airis are pretty much like-for-like replacements, all be it with a few tweaks. 

The split version of the Diva is also gone. 

In with the New

The aforementioned Airis and Resurgence come in to replace the outgoing Frenemy and Templar respectively. 

The After Hours gets a split version, which IMO makes more sense having an after hours split than a Diva split. 

Changes to Existing Models

  • XV Sushi, XV Sashimi,XV and After Hours now have a 5%/80%/15% rocker/camber/rocker mix versus 10%/60%/30% for their 2021 models. 
  • Circuit and Gala are now 30/30/40 rocker/camber/rocker versus 40/20/40 on the 2021 model
  • Revenant and One are now 25/50/25 versus 30/40/30 on the 2021 models  
  • Jibsaw an Diva are now 15/70/15 versus 20/60/20 on the 2021 model
  • Juggernaut is now 5/90/5 versus 20/60/20 on the 2021 model
  • District, Sawblade, Trickstick, Myth, Meraki, Scan, Alias and Jibfluence are now 35/30/35 versus 40/20/40 on the 2021 model

So everything has been given a little more camber versus 2021, essentially with some models shifting more of the rocker towards the nose than the tail. As far as I can tell there are no other significant changes to the above models. 

In addition to these changes, some names have been slightly changed: 

  • XV Sushimi LG is now just XV Sushimi (same of the split variation)
  • XV Sushi LF is now just XV Sushi (same for the split variation)
  • One LF is now just One
  • Diva LF is now just Diva
