Description
- Profil: Tip & Tail Rocker.
- Construction: Full Strengh Sidewall.
- Technology: Poplar Core.
- Poplar Core: Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter, and stomp and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.
- Full Strengh Sidewall: A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the wood core and edges.
- Full Carbon Weave: Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s wood core, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to she ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fibre glass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.
- Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pad: A 600 mm-long, 15 mm-wide carbon/rubber reinforcement underfoot, above the edge, adds strength where it matters most to this performance oriented ski. In addition to protecting the wood core from heavy-duty impact on rails, the carbon and rubber inlay adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis.
- Elliptical Sidecut: Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turns lengths, angles and mounting positions.
- Anti-Chip Micro Cap: Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
- Boat Flex: Heavy rocker is best complemented by solid, stiffer tips and tails, to help settle the skis and power through variable snow. Additionally, the stiff tips absorb more vibrations when skiers touch down after going airborne. Just add a touch of more flex underfoot and it allows the skis to load up and pop on request.
- High Resistance Topsheet: We used the highest quality topsheet material available, and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near our factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain.
- XL 2.5mm Edges: 7 fractions of a millimetre might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 35% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 1.8mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
- Recycled Materials: Working with our partners to eliminate material waste, we now mix base, sidewalls and topsheet materials scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality and durability.
- Locally Sourced Materials: In a effort to reduce the impact on our supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based near our factories.
- Sustainable Wood Core: Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests near our European facilities, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.
- 100% Renewable Energy: This ski is produced in a cutting-edge facility that runs on electrical power that is 100% renewable. Additionally, its heating energy comes solely from biomass. The factory no longer uses oil, resulting in annual CO2 emissions reductions of whopping 10 million kilograms.
