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 25.0-meter radius is a straight-line shape — it resists tight turns and is built to run long and fast, with a moderate taper that keeps the tip planted.
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 2,000 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.
A titanal beam runs down the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,200 g it's a planted, composed ski that pushes through rough snow.
Float & width
At 110 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
