The Good Ride TakeThe Rossignol Onemagtek Snowboard Review by The Good RideDays-15Boards Tried 156 and 159
Groomers- If you live to ride groomers then the Rossignol Onemagtek is made for a good time in just about any groomed run. The only time we aren't supper stoked on the Onemagtek is when the snow is very soft. It's a common problem with many magnetraction boards. They seem to dig in a little too deep or can be a little too grippy in wet, cruddy or dense soft snow. The Onemagtek is an absolute dream on a hard pack day.
The Good Ride Take on Hybrid Camber

Company InformationRossignol One Magtek 2012MAGTEKThe only board to have if you can only have One. AmpTek All-Mountain camber gives you pop, stability and floatation, and Magne-Traction sidecut turns ice into powder. From pipe to pow to anything else mother nature can dish out, the One MagTek always makes you feel like you've got the perfect board for any terrain.
Rossignol One Magtek 2011One-upped for the third year in a row. AMPTEK ALL MOUNTAIN
We launched our AmpTek camber technology on the Angus last year and won 2 of the industry's most recognized and trusted awards with Transworld Snowboarding Good Wood and Snowboarder Best of Test. Having immediate approval at the shop level for our latest innovation was not only the best start we could possibly hope for but also guaranteed the foundation for the future of AmpTek. Rossignol One Mag 2010Future Snowboard mag said the One Mag is an MVP and is one of the top 10 all mountain boards money can buy. From the shape, Magne Traction sidecut and multi layered graphic application you can tell we didn't hold back. The perfect all mountain slayer; freestyle to powder to high speed tram lines.

Burton to Salomon to Rossi One Magtek

This is only the 4th board I've had in 24 years of riding: two different 164 Burton Airs, and a 165 Salomon Definition, set up with various Burton Bindings. All of them are big all mountain camber boards and the Salomon is very torsional stiff and great for carving, and crushing crud, but not the best in pow. The 159 Rossi One Magtek is set up with M11 Flow Bindings (for quick in and out). This is my first board with rocker, since I am mostly into carving groomers and bowls when I go West. Midwest skiing usually has a variety of conditions, from icy, to mixed types of crud, to soft snow in warm weather. I'm a ski patroller at a small Midwest ski area, so I wanted to try out the Magnetraction on ice and hardpack for running a toboggan, since that is frequently the snow condition. So far the Magnetraction edges have carved well on hard pack/icy conditions and did well when running toboggans. I can get a really good carving lean particularly in a hard toe side turn. No hint of washout. Can't rate how well it works in the park, most of my time in there is spent putting people in toboggans. The shorter 159 length, lightness, and rocker at the tips makes for very quick turns compared to the older, heavier, stiffer, and longer 165 boards, and less work. I can't wait to get on steeper and varied terrain out West to push the Magnetraction to the limit on hardpack, and see how well it performs in pow. I'm neutral on the graphics, since I've seen many worse. However, my 2012 M11 Flow Bindings are black with the same color of blue as the Rossi splashed in, so they both match. |

This board RULES.I have ridden all kinds and types of regular, rocker, and rocker hybrids boards in all types of conditions. Setup was Rossi One Magtek 156 with Ride Capo bindings and K2 T1 boots. Bottom line this board is an amazing all rounder. The rocker hybrid is sick for mixed conditions. Over the last week in Whistler we saw a huge amount of new snow, then it rained 3/4 of the way up the mountain, next the temp dropped to -10C, and finally snowed 10cm. So I have put the board through it all, from super deep dry snow to death ice! The edge hold on this thing is unbelievable, you can have total confidence anywhere that you will not washout. I would also agree with The Good Ride on the powder rating, good but not excellent, but for an all round board better that almost anything I have ridden. The speed for me was better than a Good rating, I had all temp Bakoda mid price wax and I was destroying anyone I rode with. All the other ratings are spot on, I would agree with The Good Ride that in soft groomers the Magne-Traction can bite in a bit too much. The edge hold it gives in icy conditions totally negates this for me, I will never ride a non Magne-Traction board again. On an end note I personally think that the graphics on this board are TOTALLY LAME, if it was not for The Good Ride's recommendation I would not have touched this board with a ten foot pole just on looks alone. Day one I covered it with stickers, after 4 runs all the stickers came off except for the DEATHWISH skateboards one I put at my front binding! That was the icing on the cake for me, this board is made to destroy the mountain. Whistler Ripper |

Hello Again James:After much web surfing, more reading, listening to your advice and the feedback of others, I pulled the trigger and purchased a Rossi 159 One Magtek.( Felt good to find one at 30 % off. Gotta love the Web) It arrived yesterday and after 2 coats of base wax, one coat of all temp, bindings mounted, tip and tail detuned, it was ready for the hill. Woke this morning to a Bluebird sky and a temp of 14. Off to the slopes with much anticipation. OMG!!!!!!! James you gave me no idea of what kind of experience I was about to enjoy on this new Deck. I simply cannot believe the difference in all aspects of riding. Perhaps the one that shocked me most was my ability to ride switch. No more fear of hooking an edge and being "launched". I simply executed as one should, the board responded and with ever increasing confidence I was riding switch down slopes that I would have never tried on the Elan. From the very first run of the day, the comfort level and predictability of the One was confidence building. With fresh wax and fast groomers, the board was noticeably faster than the Elan. I found the board very easy and quick to turn edge to edge and with each passing run, I was able to push the edge hold just a little bit more and I found the Magnetraction to be a most interesting feature. Under light load, I did not really notice it factoring in, but as soon as one carved it a little harder, one could really feel the board "bite". It was a most perfect day to debut the board as the conditions were outstanding, with fresh groomers to start and then a light powder on top of hard pack as the hill was more heavily ridden. No ice today, but I have no doubt that I will really notice the Magnetraction deliver under those conditions. I have no doubt that the Amptek Rocker on this board has most everything to do with my increased comfort level and riding enjoyment. I found it to have a familiar feel to my Elan which is purely Camber, which immediately put me in my comfort zone. At high speed, I felt like the turn-ability of the Rossi was similar to my old deck. Where I really noticed the difference was at half speed and below. I always felt I had to "manhandle" the Elan at those speeds to avoid hooking an edge. The Rossi is sooooo much easier and forgiving at lower speeds. The ability to twist the board and steer it in situations like flat basing back to the lift was a whole new experience. It is the same length as my old board, but felt like it was much shorter.... I'm happy I stayed at the same length. So, having said all that, I would like to express my thanks to you and everyone at the Good Ride. Your website provided me with an abundance of information and feedback, but I would like to thank you most for taking the time to listen to what I "thought" I wanted and then informing me of what I should be considering. I am one very delighted Dude (can you still be a "Dude" at 50? :-) with this new Rossi and can't wait to get back to the hill to play some more. :-) Many, many thanks James. I certainly appreciate your time and feedback Sincerely, Paul Martini |

Hey, I bought this board for this season and I can say that it was one of the best investments I have ever made. I ride the 161 wide version with Ride SPI bindings;this board really manages everything, especially hard packed groomers and powder. Everyone who is searching for a well-balanced all mountain board won´t do anything wrong with the OneMag. I can really recommend this board to you! |
