5CUT™ MULTI-RADIUS SIDECUT:

5 cut

FIVE different radiuses are blended into the ski’s sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.

GAS PEDAL METAL:

gas pedal metal

Titanal focused across the ski width provides increased edge grip and torsional stability while maintaining a lively feel along the length of the ski. Two independent tip and tail Titanal pieces add extra power and energy. 

OVERDRIVE™:

tech icon overdrive

Titanal focused vertically throughout the ski, extending throughout the tip and tail designed to add stability, power, and precision.

EARLY RISE:

early rise

The tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge. 

SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION:

sidewall

Ultra-High Density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission.

ASPEN VENEER CORE:

aspen veneer

An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel.

DIRECTIONAL FLEX:

directional flex

The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability & high speed control.

FATTY BASE & EDGE™:

30% thicker base & edge, 2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life the skis.
