Product Summary
The ski in details
The Thunderbird collection was developed to modernize the carving category like never before. And among them all, the R18 offers the longest radius at 18 meters—focused on long, sweeping turns for those who absolutely love to go fast.
This ski can be trusted at high speeds without a worry. And it starts with Trueblend Piste Woodcore, which combines poplar and beech so underfoot, the ski is extremely stable, while a softer tip and tail provide forgiveness when you need it. What’s more: Carbon armor up top dampens the vibrations down low—axing the dreaded groomer chatter. Full gas without total control? Count you in.

TRUEBLEND PISTE WOODCORE
The Trueblend Piste 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.
ACTIVE CARBON ARMOR
Active Carbon Armor is a vibration damping and rebound control system that is located under the binding. Inspired by the carbon armor from the Firebird collection, the carbon fiber plate is brought outside of the ski body which allows it to flex freely.
DURAMAX
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.
