Shape:

Moderate tip and tail rocker.
The term "extended rocker" refers to an inverted camber at the tip and heel which, together with the width at the waist, is the most important parameter for good lift in fresh snow. The extended rocker also allows the ski to pivot and turn more easily, and reduces the risk of making an edge fault.

Construction :

Light Poplar / Paulownia core :
Paulownia is a stable and lightweight wood. It is combined with softer poplar to boost flex and ski pop. The mixture of these two woods results in an ultra-light core that has maximum reactivity and dynamism, complementing and counterbalancing the attributes of the two integral layers of Titanal that sandwich the core.

Full Strength Sidewall:
The full strength sidewall is a construction that applies layers of protective material along the edges of the sidewall, between the edge and the topsheet from above. The edges offer the best possible stability and grip when turning, while protecting the wooden core, edges and cover sheet from possible external impacts and damage.

Sidecuts with elliptic radii:
The sidecuts with elliptic radii consist of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radius on the front and rear parts of the ski. The long radius underfoot allows for faster and easier pivoting, while the shorter radii allow turns to be started more gently. These sidecuts are perfectly suited to a wide range of curve angles and lengths.

Surf Zones:
Surf Zone technology is designed to combine the Rocker with the tapered shape of the tips to ensure that these two key characteristics are in perfect harmony. The Rocker provides lift and helps in the pivoting of the ski, while the Tapered Tip allows the widest part of the ski to be closer to the centre and thus reduce the risk of unwanted gripping by the edge. This technology provides excellent lift and a smooth ride in all conditions.

Titanium reinforcement plate.
When you go for a day's hiking in the backcountry, you must have complete faith in your equipment. Our Titanal reinforcement plates are positioned above our lightweight cores to guarantee that the binding screws are completely secure. These monocoque plates are designed to accept either alpine or hiking bindings, thus improving the durability of these ultra-light cores.

Carbon fibre:
Between 8 and 10 carbon strips are positioned unidirectionally on either side of the core to achieve even greater stability without adding weight. Each carbon strip is woven so as to provide the greatest strength and rigidity in all directions.

Tip and tail cap:  
On our skis equipped with the tip and tail cap construction, we place ultra-solid sidewalls at the central part of the ski but wrap the topsheet around the edge of the ski to the tip and tail edges. This protects the ski from impacts and thus improves its durability, while reducing the total weight of the ski. Perfect for freestyle and ski touring.
