For the 2026-2027 season, the most noteworthy model is the "ROC" series, a full rocker model that stands out even within BLASTRACK's all-mountain category. The new "ROC100," which follows in its footsteps, is the ultimate model. This long-awaited new model satisfies the mindset of "Let's have more freedom and more ease in all kinds of fun!"
The "ROC100" is an ambitious creation that incorporates the full rocker technology already featured in the highly-regarded "ROC118" and "SILVA" models, but in a more manageable 100mm waist width. It was developed to allow for unconventional and free-spirited riding and play, truly for everyday use. Unlike conventional camber skis, its full rocker design enables a wide range of creative movements, from press riding and butter tricks to spins utilizing pivots, switch riding, and even tackling three-dimensional terrain
"Because it's a full rocker, you can do anything with it, and it's incredibly soft, light, and easy! Since the skis are already flexed, you can edge them just by leaning your body, making turns very easy. It's fun just to ski, but it's also really easy to do pivots and slashes under your feet. You can have fun with all sorts of things, so it's really interesting!" says developer and rider Masato Hirase with enthusiasm.
BLASTRACK development rider Masato Hirase also praised the product, saying, "With this one rod, you can enjoy it anytime, anywhere during the season."
Flex balance that dominates all speed ranges
The nose and tail feature a "slightly softer" flex, enabling press tricks and smooth maneuvers. Meanwhile, the foot area is set to provide a firm and stable feel, giving it the strength and toughness to withstand everything from jibbing and terrain play to high-speed riding
From a surf-like gliding feel to groomed snow cruising
The true strength of the "ROC100" lies in its ability to provide a comfortable cruising experience on the slopes despite being a full rocker board. It offers a reliable floating sensation in powder during the peak season, and also provides stable, snag-free riding even in the slushy snow of early spring. With no worries about stability when landing jumps in the park, you can enjoy agile jib tricks while also gliding through the park like in slopestyle.
Regardless of snow conditions or situation, its versatility in allowing riders to freely carve lines has already garnered extremely high praise from users who have test-ridden it, who simply exclaim, "It's fun!" The combination of the agility of a 100mm waist and BLASTRACK's technical expertise results in a truly outstanding "multi-functional performance."
Armed with overwhelming speed, the "VERSANT" allows you to dynamically conquer steep slopes and tough, rough terrain, and for the '26-27 season, it has undergone a dramatic evolution into a true "all-terrain weapon." What is most striking about this full model change is the dramatically altered shape. The synergistic effect of the newly adopted "V-Shape" and "Long-Nose" ensures high buoyancy in deep powder
However, the true value of these skis doesn't end there. Their quick turning ability, which belies their 105mm waist width, allows for precise control even in tight tree runs. Once on groomed slopes, they grip the snow firmly, effortlessly executing stable, dynamic, high-speed carving. Furthermore, they boast overwhelming off-road capability, taming rough terrain and tackling various types of slopes at high speeds
From the finest powder to fast groomed runs, from rough slopes to spring granular snow, its overwhelming versatility, regardless of the season or snow conditions, makes it an extremely high-potential board that can handle all situations
