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 18.5-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 17.5-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.
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 2,130 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.
Titanal is placed in specific zones of the ski — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 1,960 g there's real mass behind it.
Float & width
At 104 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
At 102 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
