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 13.2-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
A short 11.0-meter radius with a wide, tapered tip makes for quick, easily-pivoted turns — it hooks into a turn fast and releases it just as readily.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,975 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Built without metal on a poplar pefc wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,400 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.
Float & width
At 80 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge.
At 80 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.
