Construction & Technology

Line Control Technology (LCT)

Line Control Technology integrates a central vertical power rail within the wood core to eliminate counter-flexing. This design maintains constant ski-to-snow contact, improving stability and providing dynamic control of your line while preserving the ski’s natural energy.

Slalom Tip Protector

The Slalom Tip Protector is designed to absorb repeated impacts from slalom gates. Its durable plastic construction protects the ski tip from damage during aggressive race training and competition.

Beech PEFC Wood Core

The PEFC certified beech wood core delivers excellent dampness and stability while using responsibly sourced materials that reduce the environmental impact of the product life cycle.

Full Titanal Layer

The Full Titanal Layer enhances torsional rigidity and energy return, delivering powerful edge grip and stability through aggressive turns, difficult conditions, and high-speed racing.

Rectangular Full Sidewall

Rectangular full sidewall construction combines layered core materials with full-length vertical sidewalls to maximize edge grip, balance, and power transmission.

Sintered UHD Base

The Sintered UHD base provides maximum glide and durability, helping maintain high speeds on race surfaces.

Full Camber

Full camber delivers maximum edge contact, powerful rebound, and precise control for uncompromising race performance.

Oversized Sidecut

The oversized sidecut combines deep carving geometry with modern waist widths to increase edge grip, carving precision, and stability through the turn.
