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 17.0-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.
A long 20.0-meter radius is built for open, sweeping turns that want room to run; a moderate taper keeps the shovel engaged for hold at speed rather than quickness.
Stability & dampness
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 1,885 g the damping comes without a heavy overall weight.
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 1,750 g the damping comes without a heavy overall weight.
Float & width
At 92 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. A cambered profile keeps it locked to the snow for grip rather than smear-and-release.
At 93 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
