Salomon Bellevue Split

A narrower freeride split for smaller boots: the Bellevue Split adds 148 and 152 cm options to Salomon’s touring range. It is a relevant comparison if wide powder boards give you more surface area than you comfortably edge.

Is the Salomon Bellevue Split 26/27 right for your tours?

Women seeking freeride tours get Backseat Camber: more camber under the rear foot and a flatter section farther forward. Salomon aims for turn support and flotation in soft snow. Medium flex is the manufacturer’s description; your load and the rest of the setup affect actual feel.

What should you consider on the ascent?

Precut Pomoca skins and Plum connectors are included in the offer. A narrow shape can help small boots transmit pressure to the edge. Still check lateral support and heel hold before changing boards to solve an insecure climbing feel.

How do you choose suitable length and width?

Waists are 242 mm for the 148 and 245 mm for the 152. The table lists respective net weights of 2.65 and 2.75 kg. These are manufacturer board figures, not our own weighed complete setups.

How do boots, bindings and skins work together?

Start by matching boot fit, board width and lateral support. An oversized boot loses support before pressure reaches the edge. For the Salomon Bellevue Split, we would prioritise heel hold and a highback suited to your weight over choosing the stiffest possible binding. Playful downhill handling need not mean a setup that collapses sideways on a traverse. Practise both touring and riding modes with your actual interface and its specified screws. Plan suitable skins too: length, width and nose and tail fittings need to work together.

Which of our test experiences help you?

We have not yet tested the Salomon Bellevue Split ourselves. Our advice uses current manufacturer information and our Gear Guide principles. An older model introduction provides history rather than our own riding test. Manufacturer-shop customer ratings are not used as our editorial scores either.

For a demo, start with a suitable size and your own boots. Check whether you can apply pressure comfortably in slow turns as well as at speed. After a longer climb, consider whether width and flex still feel manageable. A consistent setup is more useful than comparing random boards with very different lengths or stance settings.

What has changed since 25/26 and earlier models?

Salomon currently includes this model in its regular range. The manufacturer page does not identify a separate technical redesign for 26/27 or a complete change list from 25/26. This page is therefore our guide for the 26/27 season rather than a claim of a newly developed annual model. Compare the actual generation, length, width, hardware and package contents. A new graphic or different price alone does not establish changed tuning.

What is included in the price and what else do you need?

Salomon specifies Plum hardware and precut Pomoca skins. Account for those when comparing a board-only price. A complete binding is not thereby promised; the Premiere also needs components matched to its four-piece arrangement.

Which alternatives should you compare?

Compare Radical Snowflake Splitboard 4.0 and Fjell MT 1230s Splitboard. The riding-style differences are discussed above. Use comparable sizes and your own boots on a demo where possible. A different stance or substantially softer binding can change more than a small dimensional difference between boards. Decide by how well the setup suits your usual tours.

FAQ: What should you know before the first tour?

Can I choose the Bellevue solely by body height?

No. Boot size, rider weight, binding position and desired handling also matter. The women’s label and short length provide orientation, not a complete sizing recommendation.

Which size and width suit me?

Waists are 242 mm for the 148 and 245 mm for the 152. The table lists respective net weights of 2.65 and 2.75 kg. These are manufacturer board figures, not our own weighed complete setups.
