* A flagged radius is the underfoot figure from a multi-radius sidecut, measured differently than a single full-length radius — the positions are not strictly comparable.

Head to head, by character

Each ski's own read, side by side — the same three things that define how it skis.
Turn & shape
This sidecut layers several radii along the edge, shifting from shorter turns at lower speed to longer, steadier arcs as it's driven harder.

Stability & dampness
A titanal platform under the binding adds mount strength and power transfer — without the weight of a full sheet. At 1,740 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.

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.

* The two skis may measure turn radius differently. A multi-radius sidecut publishes a separate radius per section; the figure shown is the underfoot radius, which reads tighter than the ski's real all-mountain turn shape. We show each as published rather than forcing a false match.
