The read

The ARV 84 R is a frontside-leaning all-mountain ski built for all-terrain freestyle riding, rated for intermediate and junior skiers. Its 84mm waist sits narrower than most all-mountain skis in the catalog, and a 14.5m radius favors short, nimble turns. Rocker-camber-rocker construction with no metal keeps it light and easy to flex, rewarding skiers who want a quick, playful ride on groomed terrain and beyond.

Specs & what they mean

What the ARV 84 R's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 14.5-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

Built without metal, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,625 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 84 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
