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 18.0-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 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.
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 1,900 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.

Float & width
At 102 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up.
At 103 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack.
