Specs & what they mean

What the Black Pearl 88's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 14.0-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 single titanal layer sits over the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 1,680 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.

Float & width

At 88 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.
