Features :

• Super durable, suitable for all skiers and conditions.
• Directional twin shape, elliptical sidecut and poplar wood core for perfect balance.
• Size 106 mm, ideal for powder and groomed snow, perfect for freestyle and freeride skiers.

Technical features:

• Directional twin: The heel has a significantly slimmer silhouette than the tip, offering optimum alpine performance and total versatility in all situations. The twin heel invites you to adopt a playful, freestyle style, enabling switch riding with ease.
• Poplar/oak core: Poplar, a soft, light-colored wood renowned for its flex and pop, as well as its ability to dampen vibrations. Ash, on the other hand, is a denser, tougher wood that blends harmoniously with poplar, adding rigidity and durability. This combination provides excellent grip on hard snow and a sturdy platform for more intense landings, while offering enough pop and flex to stimulate your creativity.
• Elliptical radius sidecut: composed of a longer radius under the foot of the ski and shorter radii at the front and rear. The longer radius under the foot provides greater responsiveness and maneuverability, while the shorter radii make it easier to start turns smoothly. This sidecut configuration is ideal for a variety of turn lengths and angles.
• XL 2.5mm edges: 2.5mm edges are 35% thicker than our standard 1.8mm edges, which are already very tough. This extra steel gives skiers greater resistance to the stresses of certain sports.
• Chip-resistant Micro cap construction: fuses high-end edge sandwich construction with lightweight, durable cap construction. Thanks to this combination, the sandwich construction offers exceptional grip and stability, while the topsheet partially covers the edge to protect the fragile edge that might otherwise flake off on impact.
• Full srtenght sidewall construction: The full srtenght sidewall is a construction that adds layers of protective material along the edges of the sidewall, between the edge of the ski and the topsheet. This ensures optimum stability and grip when the ski takes a turn, while protecting the wood core, edges and top layer from possible external impact and damage.
• Pair weight: 4.2 kg
• Don't forget the SKI-N-GO attachment for easy transport of your skis and poles! You'll find the different colors available on the SKI-N-GO brand page on Alpinstore.
