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 19.6-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 15.4-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.
Stability & dampness
A Y-shaped titanal beam runs through the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,200 g it's a planted, composed ski that pushes through rough snow.

Float & width
At 99 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
