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 14.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
A 14.0-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.
Stability & dampness
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 1,600 g it stays light and maneuverable.
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 1,800 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.
Float & width
At 74 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
