Verdict: Rossignol XV Split
The Rossignol XV Split 159cm is as stiff as splitboards get — flex 10, directional, built for high-alpine freeride in serious mountain terrain. Not for the inexperienced or the indecisive. For riders 65–82 kg who tour to steep, demanding objectives where board flex is the difference between control and chaos.
