The read

The Rustler 11 is a freeride ski built for soft snow and off-piste terrain, with a 112.8mm waist that sits wider than most freeride skis in the catalog. Rocker-camber-rocker shaping aids float and turn initiation, while its long-radius bias and above-average weight lean toward stability at speed over quick pivoting. It suits a skier who drives a heavier, big-radius ski through variable conditions and open freeride terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Rustler 11's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 19.0-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a trueblend free woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 2,000 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 112 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.
