TECH SPECS

• Rocker Type: Rocker / Camber / Rocker 360 mm tip rocker, 3 mm camber, 290 mm subtle tail rocker
• Flex: 8 / 10 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
• Dual Radius Sidecut Designed for versatility, this sidecut offers two different radii along a single edge. A shorter radius ahead of the binding offers quick response and tighter turns, while a longer radius in the tail retains stability at high speeds.
• Freeride Flat Tail Modern directional shape with rockered tip and mildly rockered tail designed for a progressive approach to the descent.
• Surf Zones Integrated rocker and taper dimensions for a smooth surfy ride in any conditions.
• Fusion Light Core A mixture of ultra light Paulownia and medium weight Poplar results in a lightweight core with excellent responsiveness and rebound.
• Dual Span Titanal Two layers of Titanal aluminum alloy dampens the ride and rewards aggressive skiing.
• Full Strength Sidewall Construction with Microcap Sandwich sidewall construction for power and edgehold, with a topsheet that wraps around and meets the sidewall for durability.
• Die-Cut P-Tex 3000
• Anti-Scratch Brushed Topsheet
• Poplar/Beech Core: Create a reasonably light ski that grips great and feels snappy between turns – always maintaining a soft enough flex to pop, slash and butter all over the mountain.
• Flax Stringers: They ensure much needed dampening characteristics in our softer, freestyle orientated skis, adding all the stiffness and torsional stability you could want without the environmental impact.
• Directional Twin: A considerably skinnier tail width than in the tip provides ultimate downhill performance for attacking the mountain. A twin tip in the tail encourages playfulness and freestyle attitude, meaning you can ride switch without problem.
• Micro-cap: With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the skis topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
• Surf Zones: Surf Zone tech unites Rocker and Tip Taper design to make sure these two key features work in harmony. Rocker provides float and facilitates pivoting, while a Tapered Tip moves the widest part of the ski closer to the centre and removes unwanted hooking.
