Product Summary
The ski in details
The HRC is the most-played track on the greatest hits album of Firebird. The multi-radius sidecut is all about keeping options open, allowing you to drive short turns with ease or lay on the gas for those big GS cruisers. The magic under the HRC’s hood is an all-new Race Trueblend woodcore, paired with a Double Titanal Sandwich Compound Sidewall construction and an all-new proprietary Race Plate binding interface, resulting in a responsive ski that knows you're the one behind the wheel. Whether you're crushing beer league or carving the frontside on your own time, the HRC is the versatile, high performance machine you'll want to drive. Racers, start your engines.
Technologies
TRUEBLEND RACE WOODCORE
PERFECT BALANCED FLEX
Two different types of wood, ash and poplar, specifically blended into one woodcore. The different density stringers are customized in quantity and length creating 3 different areas of density to precisely control the flex.
RACING PERFORMANCE
The Trueblend Race Woodcore is designed with a harder flex zone in the center, that provides stability and edge grip, a medium flex zone in front of and behind the binding that provides control, and a soft flex zone in the tip and tail that provides easy turn initiation and release. Trueblend technology allows to precisely control the flex throughout the whole length of the ski and in every size.
DURAMAX: DURABLE PROTECTION
New titanal construction that is designed to provide both maximum durability and increased performance with a unique, high value look. The top titanal layer is extended to the very edge of the ski and placed directly under the top foil which is then milled back 3 mm, thus exposing it. The titanal directly absorbs all impacts that occur along the top edge, reducing scratches and eliminating chipping.
