Dynastar M-Vertical 88 (Backcountry Touring Ski 2021/2022)

Product Summary

Due to its lighweight construction the Dynastar M-Vertical 88 is easy to handle not only downhill but also during longer ascents. The Dynastar M-Vertical 88's full retail price is € 700. The Ski costs roughly € 90 more than the average price of all Backcountry Touring Skis, making it an upper mid-range model. This ski is just right for good skiers. Stable but not overpowering. The M-Vertical 88 is a more off-piste oriented ski which rides great in deep powder. Thanks to its versatility however, it is also fun on groomers from time to time. The ski is available from 156 to 180cm.

The ski in details

From couloir hunting to summit bagging, the Dynastar M-Vertical 88 ski has a balanced technical feel that's equal parts ascent and descent.

Its Hybrid Core uses a blend of paulownia wood and polyurethane for a lightweight design that feels good on the climb and delivers a smooth ride on descent. Sandwich construction and full sidewalls provide confident edge control in technical terrain and varied conditions.

Technologies

TIP ROCKER
Rocker moderate tip only. It facilitates the flat pivot while combining softness and tolerance in the curves. The rocker is moderated so that as soon as the ski is on the edge, the ski works in curve on the whole length of contact of the edges.

FULL SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION
With the FULL SIDEWALL construction, full-length vertical edges from tip to tail help maximize grip, precision, balance and power.

HYBRID CORE PAULOWNIA PU
The Hybrid Core technology is combined with Pawlownia Core with a density of 300 g/m3, reducing the ski's weight by an average of 15 to 20% in comparison to a poplar core.

FIBRE BASALT 2NDE GENERATION
Similar mechanical properties to fibreglass but with a reduced weight (-25%). It also offers absorption properties, to create the ideal reinforcement for Touring/Free Touring.

SINTERED HD BASE
SINTERED HD BASE offers great glide for all ski conditions.
