FLEX TIP TECHNOLOGY
Racing power and precision is now more accessible than ever before. Designed for faster acceleration in-and-out of turns, new FLEX TIP TECHNOLOGY offers the adaptive torsion control at the tip and tail to engage carved turns instantly and release with ease. The unique design efficiently channels energy for cleaner power transfer, resulting in the effortless, spontaneity to roll in and out of carved turns and find your flow.

RECTANGULAR SIDEWALL
RECTANGULAR SIDEWALL constructions feature a horizontal layering of core materials (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc.) combined with full-length vertical sidewalls to deliver optimized edge grip, precision, balance, and power.

ON TRAIL ROCKER
Adapted rocker at tip only. For easier pivoting on flat skis with a smooth and forgiving feel in the turns. The rise is designed so that once the ski is on its edge, the rocker section resumes contact with the snow, so then the ski works in the turn providing full-length edge contact.

POPLAR WOODCORE
The heart of the ski consists of a poplar core together with fiberglass. This gives the ski enormous fluidity and responsiveness. Poplar helps to maintain the ski's lively feel throughout its life.

OVERSIZED SIDECUT
The Oversized sidecut combines the very deep carving ski sidecut with current underfoot widths. The width at tip and tail delivers effective grip as well as power and precision. The underfoot width gives increased control and better hold in turns. Oversize sidecuts offer maneuverability, power and control

LCT CONSTRUCTION
Based on our patented Line Control Technology, LCT CONSTRUCTION offers fluid stability and control with increased forgiveness and accessibility. The central power rail is integrated between the core and the topsheet to reduce counter-flexing for smooth stability for confident control.
