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 13.5-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
A 14.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal on a wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,650 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Built without metal, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. Even without metal, 2,408 g gives it a planted, substantial feel underfoot.
Float & width
At 79 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
At 78 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float.
