Product Summary
The ski in details
All-mountain precision in freeriding dimensions with the light weight of a touring ski.
The Blaze 86 builds on what the other models are known for: lightness, versatility and agility. Because there is no Titanal, the ski is a bit more sprightly and also a bit lighter. The Blaze 86 is designed for quick, tight turns, although the sidecut’s three different radii also master demanding terrain, speed and long, drawn-out curves. Suspension tips and tails give the ski composure, increase flotation and protect the ski off-piste. The Blaze 86 is a great ski touring option for backcountry skiers who are happy to accept 100 g of extra weight in exchange for a much improved skiing experience. Built around a light, high-performance, full tip-to-tail wood core, it can handle ascents and makes descending a pleasure (except if the snow is too deep). A highly versatile technological setup which gives the Blaze 86 an intuitive feel and an unusual level of creativity.
Technologies
Multilayer Woodcore Light 1
The Multilayer Woodcore Light consists of hard wood in the center area around the screws and very light, slotted wood in the outer zone. In the alpine range the models benefit from the weight reduction and allow very sporty turns and speeds.
Suspension Tips & Tails
Inserts made of elastic TPU material on the edges of the tip and tail which act like a bumper in wind-blown or tracked snow. Its shock-absorbing elasticity ensures better stability and catch-free float.
3D Radius Sidecut
Three radii in one ski for maximum turning & speed versatility in All Mountain skiing long Tip & Tail radius. Usage of long radii at tip and tail for big turns and high speed.
Full Sidewall ABS
ABS is a durable and resilient plastic known for its strength and impact resistance. It offers high resistance to shocks and impacts, making the ski more robust and long-lasting. These sidewalls allow for precise power transfer from the skier to the edges of the ski.
Base P-Tex 2100
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
Brushed
Tip & Tail Rocker
Character: Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
