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 of around 80mm to less than 100mm are classified as the narrowest models among freeride skis. A key characteristic is that as the width increases, the ski's ability to handle various snow conditions improves, making it ideal for those who want to ski in a variety of situations, not just groomed slopes. Skis
in the 80mm range offer high carving performance on groomed slopes while also demonstrating excellent maneuverability on uneven terrain and in challenging snow conditions. They are ideal for those who want to enjoy various snow conditions throughout the season, as an entry-level freeride ski, or for those who primarily ski on groomed slopes but also enjoy powder.
Skis in the 90mm range feature a well-balanced combination of high grip and excellent snow adaptability, making them suitable for those who want high performance on groomed slopes in a freeride model, those who want to enjoy parks and pipes, or those seeking lightweight and smooth-gliding touring skis.
