The lineup includes all-mountain models with excellent carving performance on flat ground, as well as park and lightweight tour models
Models with a waist width between around 80mm and under 100mm are classified as the slimmest among freeride models. As the width increases, they become more adaptable to different snow conditions, making them ideal for those who want to ski in a variety of situations, not just on flat ground. Skis
in the 80mm range offer excellent carving performance on flat ground while also providing excellent traction on uneven terrain and in poor snow. They're ideal for those who want to enjoy a variety of snow conditions throughout the season, those new to freeride skiing, and those who primarily ski on flat ground but also enjoy powder.
Skis in the 90mm range offer well-balanced, high grip and excellent adaptability to different snow conditions, making them ideal for those looking for high-performance freeride skis on flat ground, those who want to enjoy parks and pipes, and those looking for a lightweight touring ski with excellent glide.
