Arw 96 2023
All-mountain skis - Women -
The Arw 96 is an all-mountain ski for women from Armada, part of the ARW Series range for all-mountain and freestyle skiers who enjoy snow parks and backcountry skiing.
With their 96 mm waist, these are very versatile skis, oriented towards all-mountain skiing, but equally as good with freestyle. These ultra-reactive skis have 2.5 mm thick edges which make them stronger without making them heavier. The AR75 Sidewall strengthens the ski and absorbs the impact of any rails, walls or stones you encounter, making your skis stronger and more durable.
The Arw 96 is made around a hybrid core of poplar and ash. The poplar, which is very light, is reinforced by more rigid ash which makes it possible to obtain a very reactive ski to do tricks and slalom between the trees. Lively and dynamic, they will glide with ease on all types of snow, even in powder. Naturally, this model is equipped with a double freestyle rocker, so that you can gain speed with confidence in unpredictable snow conditions and make the whole mountain your playground!
Thus, the Arw 96 is a weapon of choice for freestylers of an advanced level who are looking for playful and manoeuvrable skis which are great across the seasons!

POPLAR-ASH CORE:
Lightweight poplar is combined with denser ash strips along the ski to create incredibly lively skis that have all the power you need to reach new heights.
AR FREESTYLE ROCKER:
Rocker tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot to allow the ski to charge easily through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when called upon to do so. Make the whole mountain your playground.
SMEAR TECH:
A unique 3D bevelled base in the tip and tail to create a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to snag in slushy snow, self-centering in deep snow and impossible to catch on take-offs, Smear Tech allows you to float effortlessly, whether you're gliding forward, backward or sideways.
CAUTION if you choose to mount, there are two options for mounting the fasteners:
- "Freestyle Recommended" point marked at -2.5cm from the actual centre. A mounting that provides the stability needed to effectively pull off your favourite tricks.
- "Factory Recommended" point marked at -5cm from the centre of the ski. The ideal set-up for a versatile use between carving on the piste and off-piste.
When you enter the information in the mounting form (when validating the binding model), we will let you specify the option you want in the "Additional information" section. Otherwise the workshop technicians will automatically follow the "Factory Recommended" point
L'Arw 96 est un ski all-mountain freestyle ultra-résistant et très maniable pour pivoter facilement tout en restant bien stable et solide sur les terrains les plus exigeants. Il se montrera aussi efficace en hors-piste que sur des rails ! C'est le ski parfait si vous aimez envoyer du lourd dans toutes les conditions !
Les Plus : Maniable, solide, polyvalent.
Les Moins : Manque un peu d'accroche sur piste.
