* A flagged radius is the underfoot figure from a multi-radius sidecut, measured differently than a single full-length radius — the positions are not strictly comparable.

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 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.

A three-radius sidecut blends a shorter radius at the tip and tail with a longer one underfoot, so turn shape changes with how hard the ski is driven — tighter entry, longer and steadier through the 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. At 1,650 g the damping comes without a heavy overall weight.

Built without metal on a multilayer woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,380 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.

Float & width

At 86 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 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.

* The two skis may measure turn radius differently. A multi-radius sidecut publishes a separate radius per section; the figure shown is the underfoot radius, which reads tighter than the ski's real all-mountain turn shape. We show each as published rather than forcing a false match.
