The read

This race-derived piste ski targets groomed-run carving with a short 13-meter radius that sits among the quicker-turning options in its category. Its poplar wood core and tip rocker make it notably light and easy to flex, leaning approachable rather than demanding. Skiers building toward confident linked carves on hardpack will find its lightweight, maneuverable character a natural fit.

Specs & what they mean

What the FORZA 20D V-FG 1080's numbers add up to, as a model — the 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.

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.

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.
