Race Pro 85 2023
Ultra-lightweight touring skis - Men
Product not eligible for returnThe Race Pro 85 are men's ultra-lightweight touring skis from Movement ideal for competition.
The Race Pro range from Movement has been created for ski mountaineering enthusiasts, whether it be for competition or hiking, where movement is fast-paced. These ultra-light skis are made to perform, they're machines made to evolve quickly in the mountains. Movement have pulled out all the stops with these skis. They feature advanced technologies and have been designed to make you go faster. Built to feature perfectly placed 100% carbon laminates, their extreme light weight does not affect the Race Pro's faultless precision and stability. The Paulownia core offers the best possible lightness-to-energy ratio, while the P-Tex 5000 base provides an incredible glide to speed ahead on flatter passages.
The addition of two fibreglass and titanal DPR Ti plates significantly reduces vibration when taking on a heavily moguled courses. This is basically the F1 car of skis.
These are the widest skis in the Movement's Race Pro range, with an 85mm waist and a very light double rocker providing more skiability than the other skis in the range. The aim with this ski is keep the qualities that make competition skis so good, and to then apply them to more classic dimensions for ski touring. You get an extremely light and stable ski that will match you in energy, only with much more ease, lift and stability in softer, trickier snow. The radius is also shorter to make it easier to enter into turns. The Race Pro 85 remains a real weapon in your arsenal when it comes to accelerating on the climb. With each ski weighing between 890g and 1004g (2023 model) you'll be able to reach very long distances and get high up without it being hard work. A perfect ski for hiking for those who like long mountain crossings.

Technologies:
-"Top Secret" Construction by Movement: The Swiss brand's secret construction that features the best materials.
- 100% carbon: As well as the 5-axis blend of fibreglass and carbon used in the Alp Tracks range, which leaves no room for weekness, a unidirectional layer of 100% carbon laminate is positioned onto the upper and lower sections of the ski. The anti-torsion resistance of the ski is therefore optimised for easy turn initiation, and for grip on hard-packed snow at such a level, it has to be seen to be believed. A significant difference in weight is also noticeable.
- DPR Ti: Two-plate system, one made of fibreglass and the other made of titanal, fully incorporated beneath the bindings to ensure the screws are anchored perfectly for exceptional stability.
- Base Speed: The glass and carbon fibres are woven and soaked in resin. When pressed and hardened, this combination will form a single material. Together with the core, the mechanical properties and weight of the ski are defined by the choice of fibres and where they are placed. For this reason, Movement produces its own glass and carbon fibres specifically adapted to each model of ski. These expertise in composite materials is one of the keys to Movement's success.
- High-quality P-Tex 5000 base: faultless strength and exceptional glide

Les Race Pro 85 sont parfaits pour les randonneurs cherchant la performance. De par sa taille plus généreuse que les skis typés race pur, il est bien plus confortable à skier, notamment en poudreuse où son gabarit un peu plus large vous donne plus de contrôle.
