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 14.8-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
A 13.6-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal on a karuba wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,870 g it stays light and maneuverable.
At 1,750 g it carries a moderate, manageable weight underfoot.
Float & width
At 85 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.
At 85 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.
