Review of "ADDIKT PRO76"
Skiers who love carving turns will instantly fall in love with this latest on-piste model. With its innovative Motion Tail technology and narrow waist, it's responsive and allows for precise, clean turns, both short and long
this one felt overwhelmingly
lighter than them, had excellent maneuverability, and was easy to ride because it allowed for quick turns and movement. However, I felt like the nose got clogged up when I put too much weight on it.

Review of "DEPART1.0"
The lightweight poplar and birba wood core with titanium reinforcement provides both poplar and stability. The rocker shape and 15m turning radius provide high maneuverability, allowing for free-form, creative gliding. This next-generation freestyle model is perfect for both off-park and off-park riding
The perfect board for all-mountain fun.
It's light and easy to maneuver under your feet, but it's also hard to get crushed on bumps or rough terrain, making it easy to try tricks.

Review of the "S/RACE PRIME SL"
These powerful competition skis have a 13m turning radius, allowing for sharp carving turns regardless of the slope conditions. They feature SALOMON's innovative Blade technology, which provides stability underfoot while maintaining moderate agility for quick turns
It allows for quick
cornering in the valley and allows for carving in the early part of the turn. Even in spring snow, it's possible to carve like you would in high season. It's a bit hard on moguls.
