Head to head, by character

Each ski's own read, side by side — the same three things that define how it skis.
Turn & shape
A 14.5-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.
A three-radius sidecut blends a shorter radius at the tip and tail with a longer one underfoot, so turn shape changes with how hard the ski is driven — tighter entry, longer and steadier through the arc.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,625 g it stays light and maneuverable.
A titanal frame rings the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,880 g it's a planted, composed ski that pushes through rough snow.
Float & width
At 84 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
At 84 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. A cambered profile keeps it locked to the snow for grip rather than smear-and-release.

* The two skis may measure turn radius differently. A multi-radius sidecut publishes a separate radius per section; the figure shown is the underfoot radius, which reads tighter than the ski's real all-mountain turn shape. We show each as published rather than forcing a false match.
