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 16.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper loosens turn entry and lets the shovel pivot and smear when you want it looser.
A 15.5-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 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 2,100 g there's real mass behind it.
Built without metal on a poplar wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,700 g it stays light and maneuverable.
Float & width
At 94 mm it's a balanced all-mountain width — real float for soft snow without giving up much hardpack quickness. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
