FEATURES

Directional twin
Wider tip with a slimmer tail delivers strong downhill performance and control, while the twin tip tail brings freestyle versatility and easy switch skiing.

Poplar/Ash core
Poplar provides lightness, flex, and vibration absorption, while Ash adds stiffness and strength. Together they ensure solid edge hold, stable landings, and plenty of pop for creative maneuvers.

Carbon and rubber stomp pad
600mm carbon and rubber inlay underfoot strengthens impact resistance, protects the core, and enhances stability and vibration absorption for more confident landings.

Mustache flex
Stable underfoot for reliable edge grip, with progressively softer tips and tails that smooth out bumps and make turns easier to initiate and release.

Elliptical sidecut
Longer radius underfoot combined with shorter radii in tip and tail creates smooth pivots, easy turn entry, and versatile control across conditions.

Recycled materials
Base, sidewall, and topsheet scraps are recycled into raw production material, reducing emissions while maintaining durability and quality.

XL 2.5mm edges
25% wider than standard for improved durability and extended ski life even under heavy use.

Full strength sidewall
Reinforced sidewall design improves edge hold and shields the core, edges, and topsheet from impact damage.

Anti-chip Micro Cap
Protects the vulnerable tip and tail areas from topsheet chipping where the topsheet meets the sidewall, boosting long-term durability.
