ARMADA | ARV94・ARW94

When I took it for a test drive, it was light and easy to handle!

◆ Official HP / https://armadaskis.jp/

Perfect for those who want to hone their skills in the park and for leisure-oriented skiers
!!

When I actually took it for a test drive, it was extremely light and easy to handle. With a shape that can be used all around, I think you can ski on various courses on the slopes without stress. Highly durable sidewalls will be used from this season, making it tougher and longer lasting.
The ARW94, which is in the same row as the ARV series, has almost the same specifications, and it is also attractive that you can choose your favorite design. We recommend this model for those who want to increase the number of air spins and those who want to ride freely on the slopes.
