Rome SDS (Snowboard Design Syndicate) is a rider-owned Vermont brand that's built a cult following on smart, no-nonsense all-mountain and freestyle gear — especially its bindings, with the legendary 390 Boss a long-running favourite. At Twelve Board Store we carry the Rome range across boards and bindings, in stock at our Richmond showroom and shipping free Australia-wide.
Rome was founded in 2001 in Waterbury, Vermont, by riders who wanted a brand driven by feedback from the people actually riding the gear — hence the "Snowboard Design Syndicate" name. It's stayed independent and rider-focused ever since, with a reputation for durable, thoughtfully-designed product that performs without marketing fluff. Rome riders tend to be a loyal bunch, and the bindings in particular have a reputation as some of the best-built in the sport.
Who Rome Is For
Rome suits riders who want capable, durable all-mountain and freestyle gear with real substance. The board range leans towards all-mountain and park-friendly shapes for intermediate and advanced riders, and the binding range — led by the iconic 390 Boss — is a genuine reason people choose the brand. If you want bindings that last and adjust easily, Rome is one of the first we'll point you to. Best suited to progressing through advanced riders who want gear with character.

Belts are amazing, better price than direct from Exway (Don't deal with Exway) these belts thicker and more durable than the OEM ones too! Highly recommend.
