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 19.0-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 14.9-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 1,630 g it stays light and maneuverable.
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 1,900 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.
Float & width
At 94 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
At 83 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. A cambered profile keeps it locked to the snow for grip rather than smear-and-release.
