The original 390 has been retired but its slightly burlier relative the Rome 390 Boss is still trucking on. A sturdy aluminium chassis combines with a mid-flexing highback to deliver a strong all-mountain option for all levels of rider.
“Whether you’re pumping a transition, boning out a grab or screaming down a groomer, the Rome 390 Boss will feel great”

The nature of the chassis means that energy transfer from your heels to your toes, or vice versa, is incredibly fast. What’s more, the ‘V Rod’ baseplate features thinner cushioning running perpendicular to the board to give edge changes even more of a boost. Meanwhile more substantial padding on either side gives you comfort and cushioning, as well as more end-to-end flex.
The result is a binding that can react instantaneously when you want to charge around, but also feels a little surfier as you move your weight from the nose to tail, or the other way around. Whether you’re pumping a transition, boning out a grab or screaming down a groomer, the Rome 390 Boss will feel great.
Comfortable straps seal the deal, and you can alter the position of the padded ankle strap to best suit your style. The highback can be rotated too, so if you don’t love the Rome 390 Boss right out the box, you’ll be amazed what a difference a couple of little tweaks can do.
