Features:

• Poplar/Ash Core

Poplar is a lightweight, durable softwood known for its flexibility, pop, and excellent vibration absorption. Ash, a heavier hardwood, adds stiffness and durability. Together as a duo, they offer great grip on hard snow, a solid base for landings, and enough pop and flexibility for creative manoeuvres.

• Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pad

A 600 mm long and 15 mm wide carbon and rubber inlay adds strength where it matters most. It not only protects the wood core from heavy impacts but also adds stability and vibration absorption underfoot, making landings feel better for both you and your skis.

• Recycled Materials

They work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. Base, sidewall, and topsheet material scraps are mixed with the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while maintaining the same level of quality and durability.

• Locally Sourced Materials

To reduce supply chain impact, they strive to source materials from European companies located near the factories. Reducing distance, reducing emissions, reducing impact.

• 2.5 mm XL Edges

The edge of a ski is crucial for its performance and handling. The skis are made with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They are built to last.

• Full Strength Sidewalls

Experience superior stability and edge grip with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the wood core, edges, and topsheet from impacts and damage. Increased durability and performance in every season, peak, and itinerary.

• Elliptical Sidecut

The elliptical sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker and easier pivots, and a shorter radius at the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing the ski's versatility and control.

• Anti-Chip Micro-Cap

The Anti-Chip Micro Cap protects the ski tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This prevents chipping and further damage to the sidewall every day you hit the mountain.

• Mustache Flex

The 'Mustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth and progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and facilitating turn initiation and completion.
