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 15.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.

Stability & dampness
A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 1,700 g the damping comes without a heavy overall weight.

Float & width
At 70 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
