Features:

Rocker Type

• Amphibio Profile / Asymmetrical Design: This unique design combines a camber profile on one edge for power and grip with a rocker profile on the other for smooth turns and easy transitions. It’s like getting the best of both worlds.

Core

• Tubelite Wood Core: This core is built for lightweight strength and stability, giving you that spring-loaded pop as you exit turns.

Laminates

• Carbon Deck Technology: A layer of carbon fiber across the top of the ski increases responsiveness and edge hold.
• Fiberglass: Reinforces the core for added torsional stiffness.
• Carbon Rods & UD Carbon: These lightweight rods are inserted into the core, giving you enhanced stability and energy return.

Sidewalls

• SST (Slanted Sidewall Technology) Sidewall Construction: The slanted sidewall design boosts edge grip and increases power transmission for precise control on groomers and icy slopes.

Base

• Sintered UHMW Base: A fast, durable base that holds wax well and glides smoothly on everything from fresh powder to tracked-out crud.

Binding Compatibility

• We recommend a brake width equal to or up to 15 mm wider than the ski waist width (96mm), giving you a range of options for compatible bindings.
