The Orb Freebird is a unisex touring ski from the Blackcrows brand, part of the brand’s touring range.
The Orb Freebird returns this year unchanged because it is high-performing and offers excellent skiability thanks to its reassuring rocker. True to its reputation, this model remains versatile and efficient!
Its shape remains unchanged, featuring a light paulownia core, combined with mixed carbon and glass fibres. The result is that the Orb Freebird weighs only 2700 g, providing strong uphill performance and positioning itself as a truly versatile mountain ski. A titanal reinforcement underfoot allows it to adapt to new hybrid bindings and enhances stability.
As with the entire Freebird, Blackcrows range, the best compromise was sought to offer a lightweight ski that still maintains technicality and high performance. With its progressive tip rocker, the Orb Freebird delivers good floatation in fresh and packed snow, while maintaining solid stability along the entire edge length and impeccable grip. It is very lively in turn transitions and reassuring on hard and challenging snow. Its medium flex makes it a ski that remains forgiving and comfortable.
The Orb Freebird is a top choice for all mountain lovers who aren’t afraid to seek out steep slopes under their own power and want to maximise their enjoyment on the descent!
