Who is the One LF Most Suited To?
The One Magtek is best suited to anyone looking for a one-quiver board. It can ride the park, the backcountry and the groomers and you can ride how you want to wherever it is you’re riding.
I would say it’s leaning more towards the freeride side of things than freestyle but you can definitely still take it in the park (better for jump line that jib line).
If you ride in hard and icy conditions, this board is going to treat you well.
Not a beginner board but definitely fine for an intermediate rider that has their basic turns mastered. A great board to get after you’re past the beginner stage and want a board that will stay with for as long as you want it.
Ideal Rider: Someone who rides in hard/icy conditions a lot, wants one board to do everything and is intermediate or up.
The One LF in More Detail
O.k. let’s take a more detailed look at what the One Magtek is capable of.
Demo Info
Board: Rossignol One Magtek 2018, 159cm (254mm waist width)
Date: April 9, 2017 (initially – then various other dates as I now own this board)
Conditions: Mix of sun and cloud. 100% visibility all day. Snow was perfect for demoing – soft packed most places some powder to be found and some harder spots too. Not slushy which is rare this time of year. Quite cold too, especially first thing in the morning. PLUS various conditions.

Bindings angles: +15/-15 mostly but this is my "control" board for testing, so have ridden in multiple different angles.
Stance width: 550mm (21.6″)
Stance Setback: Setback 12.5mm
Width at Inserts: 265mm (10.43") at back insert and 264mm at front insert
Rider Height: 6'0"
Rider Weight: 185lbs
Rider Boot Size: US10 Vans Aura
Bindings Used: Various - this is my control board, so I test bindings on it. Mostly Burton Malavita though - which is what I ride it on before testing any other board - then swap the Malavita's onto the board being tested.
Board Weight: 3,100g (6lbs, 13oz)
Weight per cm: 19.5g/cm
Average Weight per cm: 18.45 grams/cm*
*based on a small sample size of 51 boards that I've weighed in 2019 and 2020 models. So the basic is One LF is a bit heavier. However, on snow it feels normal.
Flex
Rossignol rate this as a 7/10 but they tend to rate stiffer than what their boards are in reality (in my opinion).
The One Magtek feels more like a 6 at most – maybe more like 5.5/10. It’s softer on the tip and tail, so buttering is easy but stiffer between the feet.
Powder
The float in powder is awesome – when it comes to powder this board almost feels like a freeride board – all be it a bit softer flexing/more forgiving.
It’s got rocker tip and tail and a bit of setback (12.5mm) so those things certainly help with that float, but it just feels even better than those stats would suggest.
Carving & Turning
This board is like the perfect mix of being able to lay into a carve but also be forgiving enough that you can still skid turns when you need to, when you’re getting lazy or if that’s the level you’re at.
Definitely the right mix for an all mountain board – it’s forgiving and easy enough to ride but you can also get a good carve going.
Speed
This board is pretty fast and feels really damp. Very little chatter at speed and feels very stable. A very smooth ride. For it's flex, and given that there's plenty of rocker in the profile, it's more stable than you'd think.
Uneven Terrain
Feels really damp going through crud and generally handles bumpy and uneven terrain really well.
Let’s Break up this text with a Video
Jumps
This board is fun to jump on. Not the poppiest board that I’ve ridden – but it’s great for landings, including landing switch and was great for the approach – whether for jumps in the park or natural hits on the rest of the mountain.
Because it’s not the poppiest and it’s a little heavier than the average board, it doesn’t make it the springiest/snappiest going around.
Switch
With a 12.5mm setback and a not true-twin shape, it’s never going to be ideal riding switch, but it’s definitely something you ride switch and land switch on and once you get used to it you should be able to do it almost as well as you can on a centered true twin.
Spins
Decent for spins. Not huge amount of pop, but lands and takes off OK switch and gets around reasonably well for it's weight.
Jibbing
It doesn’t make the jib-line a no-go zone. I feel comfortable enough hitting jibs on it, but it’s not ideal. It’s certainly not terrifying approaching jibs on it – but this is probably the weakest point of this board.
Butters
Actually quite buttery - and I think that's because it must be softer tip and tail vs the middle of the board.
Changes from the 2019 Model
Still the same board for the 2021 model.
Changes from the 2019 Model
2020 model is basically the same board as it has been the last few seasons. Apart from the graphic nothing really changed since the 2016 model. The price has gone up to $549 for the 2020 model ($499 in previous models).
Changes from the 2018 Model
As far as I can tell the 2019 model is the same as the 2018 (and 2017 and 2016) – only the graphic has changed.
Changes from the 2017 Model
This is the same board, essentially as the 2017 model. Only the graphic has changed. I think it’s still the same since the 2016 model even (they made a few upgrades between the 2015 and 2016 models). When you’ve got a winning formula, stick with it until you can find a way to improve it.

SPINS | 3.0 | 3/5 |
BUTTERS | 4.0 | 4/5 |
JIBBING | 3.0 | 3/5 |
PIPE | 3.5 | 3.5/5 |
TOTAL after normalizing | 88.3/100 |
This is one smooth ride – feels very smooth and very damp. But it’s still pretty fast edge to edge. It may not be as lively/poppy as some others but it’s just so nice and smooth to ride. Just felt effortless and very little chatter, even when really getting it up to speed or in chunder.
And you can definitely still take it through the park. It can definitely be used for that.
The float in powder was awesome and man, how it rides in hard and icy conditions! It just gave me so much confidence to just ride like I would in nice soft conditions. It just gripped so well and felt so right on hard and icy snow.
