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 16.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
A 18.5-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.
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.
Built without metal on a bamboo woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,670 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Float & width
At 86 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. An asymmetric rocker profile tunes float and grip differently at tip and tail.
At 86 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
