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 13.1-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
A 13.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
Stability & dampness
At 1,738 g it carries a moderate, manageable weight underfoot.
A titanal beam runs down the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 1,900 g there's real mass behind it.
Float & width
At 75 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float.
