I absolutely love this board its so much fun I do wish it was a little bit more flexible and it didn't come with any stickers which was disappointing
Have been buying the same board since I was 13years old. It is hands down the most fun and versatile deck
When I received my board I noticed immediately that the edges were rusted in areas. Also the bottom of the board is very faded and looks dry. Just seems old and not fresh. I’ve bought last year models was haven’t had this problem before. Disappointed in this . Hope they reach back out to me. This should be fixed.
these were a better match for my agent board so i upgrade my boss's to the katana pros hoping it will be my 'last' upgrade. some things that stand out in a significant way
-canting in the footbeds is significantly easier on the knees
-duracush absorbs choppy terrain much better than the 390s
-aux tech in the toe and ankle straps feels MUCH more secure and the top cap vs over the toe strap transfers power much better
-ratchets feel much smoother and secure than the 390s
-small feature but the 'bend' in the ankle strap makes strapping in much simpler
-i haven't played with the ankle strap adjustability feature yet so can't comment
-overall very responsive with the few powder, tree runs ive done despite my angles/stance/entire set up not being ideal for the condition, flexible set up that holds up in a variety of conditions!
Unbelievable feel.. I am on the east coast and felt great cruising and in the park.
These straps are nice and fit and performance is good. 70 bucks is just too high- but at least cheaper than a set of bindings- that is unless you have a friend who's a pro and has boxes of old bindings laying around
flat rocker shape is easy to ride, easy to learn butter and very poppy for Ollies. This board especially is for who is intermediate and wants learn ground tricks
Worked great on my Rome Bindings. I did have to shorten the screws that hold the buckles on from my old straps using a bench grinder which was fairly easy but something to think about if you’re buying these you may want to order hardware too, especially if you’re upgrading from older(I think mine are 2019~ish) Rome straps. Straps themselves are light, flexible and feel like they will hold up.

Quality seems alright, although the outer seems more beat up in 3 runs than my old boots their entire life. Not very warm either.
These straps fit perfectly on my old 390s.
The buckle screw was a little long and didn't sit flush on the under of the strap, but I was able to get creative and eliminate the issue.
I've been shredding and smiling since. Also-- shout out to the chat bot--it was actually somewhat helpful with fit/compatibility questions I had.
Locks in very nice. My boots aren't going anywhere. Wearing larger boots so my toe binding barely gets over them but other than that very good and secure.
Amazing board for pow days! This is my first powder board and it really feels amazing. I am very satisfied - Freaker you are next!!!
I have tried multiple bindings for all-mountain freestyle - Union Force, Union Strata, Burton Cartel, Burton Malavita… The Katanas are by far my favorite. Love the Asym wrap and the straps. The board feel is great, the cushioning is great for dampening and shock absorption.
Love the adjustability of the heel cup and straps.
There are a lot of screws on this binding so check them regularly as one will inevitably come loose (it did for me).
I have definitely become a bit of a Rome fanboy…
I’ve been trying and experimenting with various boots - Burton Ruler, Burton Photon, Nidecker Rift, Ride Fuse and now the Rome Libertine. The Libertine is my favorite of the whole bunch. They aren’t the most comfortable of the bunch but they fit my feet well enough without being bulky, I love the flex profile, the footprint, the board feel and the build.
I have flat feet and wear aftermarket insoles.
These boots have noticeable cushioning on top of the toes and top of the shins. Felt weird at first but after riding these for a bit, the cushioning feels like performance points. These boots can carve toe side, do well at slower speed and are great for freestyle.
Obviously, the best boot is the one that best fits your feet but these boots just have something different than the other brands I have tried.
My only complaint is that they are noticeably harder to get on and off. But once you’re in them, it’s a joy to ride these boots.
They are true to size. I wear an 11 in Burton and Nidecker and am also an 11 in the Libertine.
I ride primarily on the East Coast. My style of riding is all-mountain freestyle: Ollies, ground tricks, side hits, 50-50s, board slides, switch, butters… And sometimes I just like to go straight down the mountain as fast as I can.
This board just rips and can do it all well. It has become my favorite board for a typical day on the mountain with the kids. It ollies well and easily, presses easily, rides switch like a dream and can lay a trench when you need it to. It gets jerked around a bit in rutted out terrain but that’s to be expected. It is surprisingly stable at speed given the design. It is easy to forget that it is not a camber board.
I paired it with Katana bindings and WOW!
My only “con” to this board is that the topsheet is pretty fragile. Seems to be the case with a lot of Rome boards - They just don’t have a thick epoxy coating. It means that the top sheet chips pretty easily at the edges and the graphic gets erased quickly. But this is all cosmetic.
Great way to protect your board without having to lug around a huge bag! Very space convenient. Love it.
Very nice quality hoodie, but the pass holder in the front pocket broke as soon as I pulled on it a little bit, other than that great
heerlijke fijne schoen. Zit fijn en lekker warm.
Ik heb iets groter besteld dan mijn normale schoenmaat
This board is the real deal. Been riding the artifact for about 4 years now, with about 50 days a season each year and it’s extremely versatile. While it’s highest rated for park, I have a blast in powder & back country with this board! Good overall sturdy board that will treat you right.
Love these. Prefer them with the optional stiffer straps.

Non fatevi ingannare dalla scheda tecnica, mi sono innamorato di questa tavola più di altre ben più strutturate, perfetta sulla neve bagnata nelle giornate più calde e non scherza anche in pista battuta di prima mattina, mi rimane da provarla in fresca, ma wow che surfino!
Just got my board I have yet to hit the slopes but I am IN LOVE WITH IT OMG girlies you need this board for this season TRUSTTTTTT. BTW im 5'5 I got a 147 board
