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 12.8-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
At 1,360 g this is a light ski, quick to move underfoot.
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 78 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. A cambered profile keeps it locked to the snow for grip rather than smear-and-release.
At 78 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
