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 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.
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 2,100 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.
A single titanal layer sits over the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 1,750 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.
Float & width
At 94 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.
