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 long 21.0-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.
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
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 2,150 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.
Built without metal on a lightweight multilayer wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,980 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Float & width
At 100 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.

* 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.
