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 14.7-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.
This sidecut layers several radii along the edge, shifting from shorter turns at lower speed to longer, steadier arcs as it's driven harder.
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 1,705 g the damping comes without a heavy overall weight.
A titanal platform under the binding adds mount strength and power transfer — without the weight of a full sheet. At 1,603 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.
Float & width
At 93 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
At 94 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. 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.
