The 2024 Line Chronic TC 94 is a brand-new shape and construction for next year but keeps the same light yet solid and playful feel of the old Chronics, which have been a staple twin tip for many freestylers over the years. The graphics are inspired by the Travelling Circus bus which is now adorned with doodles that pay tribute to the epic adventures of the TC crew. An aspen veneer core provides plenty of pop for boosting off kickers while Thin Tips keep the weight down giving them an easy to jib feel whether lapping the park or playing on the rest of the hill. Beefed up Thick-Cut sidewalls give greater durability but also helps to amplify edge hold, so they rip surprising well on-piste too. This is a very limited-edition version of a 2024 ski, available now.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Works best in the park and on firmer snow, but has enough width to have a play or jib about on naturual features when the snow is soft too.Skier TypeFreestyle skiers, whether they spend all their time in the park or who take their skiing onto the mountain as much as they use man made features.OverviewShapeAt 94mm it's well suited to the park providing super stability on landings and rails plus rocker stops the tips and tails from hooking-up and spitting you out if you land off balance. Should you head away from the terrain park it feels nimble and the 16.3m radius (178cm) rails nicely on hard pack, but there's also ample width for most to play about in some soft snow too. RockerRockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber under foot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.CoreAn Aspen Veneer Core uses aspen stringers to create a lightweight, snappy and engaged feel. ConstructionThick-Cut Sidewalls for grip on hard snow plus added edge strength and durability when hitting features in the park Key FeaturesBio-ResinBio-Resins are made from more sustainable sources and have less envorimental impact than traditional resins used in ski manufacturing. Not only that, they also have an increased bonding within the core for improved durabilty and performance.Thin TipA thin core & sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight for improved manoeuvrability & reduced tip bounce for better snow contact and handling.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1711781239411716.31920185General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertTerrain Type: FreestyleRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: WoodDemo: Demo: No [Full Details]
The Black Pearl has won our women's Overall Ski of the Year on multiple occassions and is considered to be the best-selling ski in the world, the model every brand aspires to. It's an all condition ski that is truly happy anywhere on the mountain, from smooth pistes to tricky off-piste runs, care-free cruising to fast, technical turns. The Flipcore WSD construction is the key, producing perfect handling and balance, boosting confidence and encouraging skiers to keep pushing themselves.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it the standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot isn't the choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. It also makes a surprisingly good choice for skiers who stay mainly on piste and will happily trade all-out piste perfomance for maxium stability and comfort whatever the snow.Skier TypeThis is one of the areas that makes the Black Pearl 88 such a special ski over all the previous seasons. It feels so good to a vast range of skiers from intermediates who want more confidence, to stronger advanced skiers who are already skiing the whole mountain comfortably. This universal appeal is the sign of a great ski.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions. The turn radius of 15m (165cm) it's ideal for all terrain use, long enough to feel balanced without losing the ability to carve tighter turns when required.RockerBlizzard's Rocker/Camber/Rocker uses specifically designed rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot. The camber increases the carving character on groomed trails while the rocker at the extremities maintains floatation and ease of turning off the slopes.CoreLite Core is a wood core that is naturally strong but lightweight for maximum performance without added weight. A carbon layer adds stability keeping the overall weight less than similar models using metal sheets. The new TrueBlend W.S.D. design keeps it feeling powerful underfoot as well as smooth and controllable at the tip and tail.ConstructionSandwich Compound Sidewall uses the tried and tested traditional method for the best performance. This means layers to build the impressive core, with sidewalls to produce the grip and precision that a ski like this requires. The top sheet has a rounded finish to protect the surface of the ski from scratches.Key FeaturesTrueBlend W.S.D.TrueBlend W.S.D. (Women's Specific Design) uses an exclusive blend of woods to provide 3 areas of density, meaning Blizzard can control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski. The result is the same natural and dynamic flex for all sizes. For the skier it means more relaxed handling, better balance and precise control. To achieve this complex wood core structure required new production and manufacturing techniques. Using different types of wood makes it possible to modify the characteristics of the ski right at the core. For example, a ski should be stiffer in the area under the binding and softer towards the ski tips. This is why Blizzard builds the wood core with very small pieces of wood that are glued lengthwise. In the area of the binding, layers of harder wood are incorporated and softer, lighter wood is used towards the tip and tail. This elaborate construction gives the core different areas of stiffness with precisely adjusted flex properties, which creates a more harmonious ride.Carbon Flipcore W.S.D.Built specifically for the women's models this method offers the perfect blend of light weight and high performance. A uni-directional carbon layer integrated into a light sandwich construction ensures lightness, stability, smooth flex and torsional rigidity for an all round versatile and confidence inspiring ride.eB tester’s comments: Ailsa (Fort William) This ski made me happy! It was at home anywhere on the mountain. I could blast down groomers and play in the deeper stuff. The perfect all mountain ski.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1531288811012.1591288811013.1651288811014.1711288811015.General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]
The arrival of the Pure Mission 98 Ti means the Mission name is back and it's better than ever. It's an all mountain ski that has the width and stability for any condition whilst remaining excellent on piste. A titanal reinforcement underfoot and sandwich construction provide grip and performance; the paulownia and beech wood core and carbon stringers keep the manoeuvrable. This is a proper all mountain ski that you really can take anywhere.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a relatively wide all mountain ski that is still excellent on piste, a hard mix to achieve but Scott have pulled it off. On firm snow it has bite and grip thanks to the Titanal; the light weight and carbon ensures it feels lively and quick, especially for a ski this size. In choppy and heavy snow the shape and construction allow it to power through effortlessly. A proper all mountain ski that you can take anywhere.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert all mountain skiers who want a relatively light ski but one that has the width and stability to power through variable and heavy snow. They'll spend plenty of time on piste but need a ski for everything on the mountain. A great choice as a one-ski quiver seeing as it is so capable in so many environments.OverviewShapeInspired by remie Heitz, the new Pure Freeride sidecuts provide both stability and manoeuvrability. Shorter radius in the front than on the back, with a long radius under the foot, make the ski agile in any conditions. 98mm underfoot with a 19m radius (177cm) keeps the Mission on the off-piste end of all mountain models with a relatively long radius and wide waist.RockerFreeride Tip and Tail Rocker. Having rocker in both the tip and tail allows for optimal float in deep snow and creates a playful ski, while traditional camber underfoot maintains edge hold and stability.CorePower Wood Core. The Full-Length Wood Core produces a more consistent ski flex and creates a homogeneous transition between middle part and rockered tip and tail. Paulownia is lightweight with great strength to weight; Beech adds strength and durability.ConstructionSandwich Sidewall Ti/Carbon. The ultimate ski construction for freeride performance. The full-length sidewall construction delivers precision and speed for effort transmission. The Titanal layer makes the ski ultra-stable for high-speed runs. The carbon brings lightness and comfort, for a perfect ski in any snow conditions.Key FeaturesTitanal reinforcementStability and performance are key on compact snow when the grip and the confidence in the skis are pushed to the limit. The titanal reinforcement makes the push on the edges quicker and more precise. The Scott titanal re-enforcement has a unique shape depending on the ski model to not compromise the natural flex and ski rebound. On the Mission it sits in the binding area, keeping maximum edge grip underfoot, whilst allowing the tip and tail more forgiving and lighter.Born and Nurtured in the AlpsThe Pure project is something special that Scott have been working on with leading freerider Jeremie Heitz. The Pure is equipped with a progressive titanal layer that harmonizes the flex and aids power transmission when coming out of a turn. At the same time, the ski delivers more stability, enabling you to hold your line while riding steep big-mountain lines. The Pure impresses with its light weight and performance, thanks to the dual-power wood core “ a mix of paulownia wood and 2 beech stringers that cover the full length of the ski. The combination of paulownia and beech gives an extra edge when it comes to torsional stiffness. So, you can go all in on those high-speed runs, without any chattering skis.eB tester's comments: Luke (Buyer) A proper all-mountain ski. easy enough to ski at slow speeds and slide about and are mega stable for when things get tricky, but you can charge in and out of softer conditions with confidence too. Super versatile and totally capable all over the hill.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)170133981191715001771339811919167018413499121211830General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]

The Head Supershape Magnum has always had impressive grip, controlled handling and responsive power. The addition of the eMC in last year made it even smoother, boosting not only groomed piste performance but also chopped conditions and fresh snow. There aren't many piste skis that feel so good on marked runs and there aren't any that deal with other conditions like an e-Magnum.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes are the natural home, looking for the space to let loose and push the speed up. The short radius means it loves to ski the fall line and attack tighter spaces, but it it still feels good in wider turn shapes. It is surprisingly good off the side of the pistes too. Sure, it won't feel as smooth or stable as the all mountain specialists but it will leave the majority of one-dimensional piste models in it's snow trail.Skier TypeThe Magnum is quite possibly the most popular advanced piste ski of the last few years and this latest version is only going to reinforce that. It's not a hard ski to use, in fact, it can feel beautifully cruisy when you relax but, to really get the most from it and feel the best sensations, you need push the ski and test its limits.OverviewShapeThe 72mm waist is the ideal size for a ski that is going to feel fast from edge to edge and still be able to handle conditions when it gets choppy or there is soft snow about. The contact points are set right in the tip and tail so the effective edge is long, helping with the grip and creating a feel of immediate response when turning.RockereRA 3.0 S on the Supershapes uses a speed rocker which, put simply, means the ski has tip rocker and some clever tip design. There is plenty of camber along the skis length for rebound and energy. A targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres results in superior steering and less angulation is required for immediate response and a smoother ride.CoreVertically laminated wood with Graphene and twin Titanal layers. This mix of lightweight but strong materials produces a ski with the most extreme agility and thrilling responsiveness for ultimate performance. Graphene being so light means that thicker and wider Titanal sheets can be used, covering the entirety of the ski to ensure a more reactive and powerful ride.ConstructionHead's Worldcup Sandwich Cap Construction is developed with the most sophistacted materials known to man and uses tried and test techniques. The sidewall delivers energy to ski edge precisely for the best grip; the mini cap on top adds durability.Key FeatureseMCenergy Management Circuit, the world's only electronic ski dampening system. When the ski bends and vibrates, it takes the kinetic energy in the ski and transfers it into electrical energy, which is then used to absorb negative vibrations for a more stable experience. Smooth skiing and exceptional edge grip, whatever the conditions.GrapheneGraphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. It is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom. By using it in the construction Head can reduce weight and increase strength of the ski.eRA 3.0eRA 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape and geometry using a targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, a progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres. The rocker improves steering and enhances soft snow versatility. The progressive radius at the tip means that even though there is rocker, less angulation is required to get full edge contact, resulting in better grip. Intellifibers in the tip dampen vibrations for a smoother ride.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) I love the way they're not difficult to ski and there's so much performance whether you let the skis run and pick up the speed or slow down and focus on technique. Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1561631297211111.921721701297211113.121401771297211114.32172General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertTerrain Type: PisteRocker: Tip RockerRadius: ShortBase: SinteredBindings: Integrated, PRD 12 GWDIN: 3.5 - 12Construction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal Laminate, GrapheneDemo: YesSizing Description: Chin to nose height is ideal for quick responses and easy handling.

Aimed at advanced skiers who want one ski to go everywhere on the mountain, the Kenja 88 is remarkably versatile. It has the grip to carve big, high-speed turns on piste and the width and handling to ski fast off-piste in variable conditions. The Tailored Titanal Frame runs full length to provide the best dampening and stability, as well as power for the edges. Carbon Tips reduce swing weight and the low tip and tail rocker ensure that it's impressively manoeuvrable.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, remembering that skiing off-piste is much more than only powder runs. The stability and grip that serve it so well in choppy and packed snow are also important on piste for strong skiers.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert all mountain skiers who want some width for stability but who are realistic enough to know they won't be skiing deep powder often. The Kendo 88 has plenty of power and grip for skiing all the conditions and terrain that good skiers will encounter off-piste, as well as plenty of time on piste.OverviewShape88mm underfoot works well as a compromise for a serious all mountain skier; not too wide to make the ski feel sluggish on firm snow and offering float and balance for other conditions. The centre section of the 3D Sidecut is now 1m shorter in radius, making turning even easier. The sidecut is fairly straight to help with stability; the tips and tails are relatively short to keep a long effective edge. The tail has a slight rise that assists turn release, especially useful in trickier terrain or snow.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses camber underfoot for excellent grip and response, with tip and tail rocker to aid turn initiation and release.CoreThe Multi Layer Woodcore uses a combination of beech and poplar, resulting in an extremely durable core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood around. This is reinforced by a full length Tailored Titanal Frame that increases torsional stiffness and improves dampening.ConstructionFull sidewall produces direct and strong power transmission for the best control.Key FeaturesTailored Titanal FrameTailored Titanal Frame is an evolution of Volkl's familiar Titanal Frame. In this design, the width of the Titanal upper belt can be adapted to the length of the ski; the resulting torsional stiffness and the desired damping behaviour can be adapted to the skier. The Titanal content is reduced in shorter skis, which means shorter and lighter skiers can get the most out of their skis without excessive effort. The new Tailored Carbon Tips make the Kenja 88 extremely versatile. Carbon fibres applied by means of Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) allow our engineers to influence curve behaviour with great accuracy. The strength and alignment of the fibres define the force you need to apply and the energy that builds up where it's needed. Agile shovel reaction is a feature of special note. This means that as soon as you initiate a turn, you can steer the ski in a measured, easy manner. In other words, simply think about changing direction “ and it happens. This construction also allows means less weight without any loss of stability.3D Radius SidecutThe 3D Radius Sidecut ensures a range of turn size feel natural. A long radius on the tip and tail is combined with a tighter radius in the centre. The longer radii aid bigger turns and higher speeds with easy steering, less tip disruption and smoother turn exits. The shorter radius in the centre makes it easier to execute short turns and improves agility.Carbon TipsIn this innovative manufacturing process, the new Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibres onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines, opening up completely new possibilities, for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on the handling of the ski. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fibre thickness and millimetre-precise alignment. In this way, the fibres guide the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort and quickly build up energy.

It has the grip to carve big, high-speed turns on piste and the width and handling to ski fast off-piste in variable conditions. The Tailored Titanal Frame runs full length to provide the best dampening and stability, as well as power for the edges. Carbon Tips reduce swing weight and the low tip and tail rocker ensure that it’s impressively manoeuvrable.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, remembering that skiing off-piste is much more than only powder runs. The stability and grip that serve it so well in choppy and packed snow are also important on piste for strong skiers.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert all mountain skiers who want some width for stability but who are realistic enough to know they won’t be skiing deep powder often.

In this design, the width of the Titanal upper belt can be adapted to the length of the ski; the resulting torsional stiffness and the desired damping behaviour can be adapted to the skier. The Titanal content is reduced in shorter skis, which means shorter and lighter skiers can get the most out of their skis without excessive effort. The new Tailored Carbon Tips make the Kendo 88 extremely versatile. Carbon fibres applied by means of Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) allow our engineers to influence curve behaviour with great accuracy. The strength and alignment of the fibres define the force you need to apply and the energy that builds up where it’s needed. Agile shovel reaction is a feature of special note. This means that as soon as you initiate a turn, you can steer the ski in a measured, easy manner. In other words, simply think about changing direction – and it happens. This construction also allows means less weight without any loss of stability.3D Radius SidecutThe 3D Radius Sidecut ensures a range of turn size feel natural. A long radius on the tip and tail is combined with a tighter radius in the centre. The longer radii aid bigger turns and higher speeds with easy steering, less tip disruption and smoother turn exits. The shorter radius in the centre makes it easier to execute short turns and improves agility.Carbon TipsIn this innovative manufacturing process, the new Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibres onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines, opening up completely new possibilities, for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on the handling of the ski. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fibre thickness and millimetre-precise alignment. In this way, the fibres guide the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed.

The question that Volkl had to answer when creating a new Mantra was how do you improve what is already the market-leading performance 96mm ski. The answer was to add more ease of use without affecting the renowned grip, power and stability. The same components of multilayer wood core and tip and tail remain, just with the latest tech and design integrated. A Tailored Titanal Frame reduces the overall weight and is customised to each size for better ride quality. The 3D Radius Sidecut improves the handling, helped by the Tailored Carbon Tip that boosts torsional stiffness and precision. This M6 version is every bit as performance orientated as its predecessor and is now more versatile and even more fun.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type If you want a go-anywhere performance ski and your focus is getting away from marked trails then the Mantra M6 is the answer. This is a real all condition ski, designed to work no matter what the snow, whether bullet proof ice, heavy chopped-up mank or fresh untracked powder. It will tackle any terrain from trails to steep off piste and everything in between. It has the kind of construction that guarantees edge grip for precise skiing on groomed snow, exposed zones and high speeds. The width provides stability and float off piste, working with the construction and Tailored Carbon Tips to produce a feeling of power that is easy to control. Skier TypeStronger skiers who like a powerful ski for the whole mountain. They'll demand edge grip and stability, with power when the ski is pushed and thanks to the Tailored Carbon and Titanal plus the 3D Radius the M6 also provides a surprising amount of ease of use too.OverviewShapeThe shape has changed slightly from the M5 version with a touch more sidecut, using 1mm more on the tip and 6mm on the waist, plus the addition of the 3D Radius which gives a longer radius at the tip and tail for easy steering and a tighter radius underfot foor improved agility. The relatively short tip and tail taper creates a long effective edge for maxiumum grip.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses camber underfoot for excellent grip and response, with tip and tail rocker to aid turn initiation and release.CoreThe Multilayer Woodcore is a combination of beech and poplar that results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood around.ConstructionDirect and strong power transmission with full length sidewalls.Key FeaturesTailored Carbon TipsOne of Volkl's latest technologies is Tailored Fibre Placement. In this innovative manufacturing process, the new Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibres onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines, opening up completely new possibilities, for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on the handling of the ski. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fibre thickness and millimetre-precise alignment.

The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort and quickly build up energy. The Tailored Carbon Tips thus reach a new level of precision, direct tip response and active skiing pleasure.Tailored Titanal FrameThe Tailored Titanal Frame is one of Volkl's key technologies. In contrast to the previous design, the width of the titanal frame is now adapted exactly to each individual ski length. This results in Tailored Titanal Frames, which are positioned above the sidewall along the tip and tail area of the ski to provide the desired damping and torsional stiffness. The size of the frames is tailored to the skier's height, skiing ability and power. This means that longer ski models have a higher titanal content for more stiffness, more direct power transmission and stronger dampening. The shorter the length, the lower the titanal content, which makes the ski more agile, so that smaller, lighter and less powerful skiers can use the full potential performance of the ski. In addition to the Tailored Titanal Frames, a second, thinner titanal layer is located in the binding area, which gives the ski the necessary strength, but also agility. The result: the Tailored Titanal Frame technology provides an incomparable combination of agility and high-speed control.3D Radius SidecutThe 3D Radius Sidecut ensures a range of turn size feel natural. A long radius on the tip and tail is combined with a tighter radius in the centre. The longer radii aid bigger turns and higher speeds with easy steering, less tip disruption and smoother turn exits.

The V-Werks Mantra is an all condition Backcountry ski that combines high performance without excess weight. The revolutionary design uses a 3D.Ridge that is raised along the ski centre and tapers sharply towards the edge, giving the ski tip to tail power transmission and significantly reducing weight. A Full Carbon Jacket and Titanal Band ensure lightening quick response and precise handling. It rails long turns like a GS ski, floats effortlessly through soft snow and has the lightness to suit long uphill skins. It's a special model for BC skiers looking for the very best.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Mantra V.Werks is a lightweight freeride or BC ski that is ideally paired up with a tour capable binding. It'll ski anywhere on the mountain though it shines brightest in soft snow where the clever construction and the wide platform ensure plenty of float and the smoothest turns. The light weight will also make sure you have more energy left for the descent after any climbing is finished, and if you do find the snow firmer than you'd like, the grip and precision isn't going to disappoint.Skier TypeSkiers who want the best equipment where the balance of light weight and performance is perfectly engineered. Decent technique is obviously required for a ski at 99mm underfoot and the kind of areas it would expect to be used in, but this isn't some super-precise carbon ski, the Volkl engineers have got it dialled so that smoothness and precision work in harmony.OverviewShapeA 99mm waist favours float over hard snow performance but the carbon construction ensures it does perform way better than most wide skis on firm conditions. The 20.8m radius (178cm) works well with the waist to ensure stability without becoming ponderous to turn. The Moderate Taper setup of the tip and tail produces all mountain handling with a combination of precision on piste and easy control off piste.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses camber underfoot for grip and response; the rocker aids turn initiation and release.CoreThe Multilayer Woodcore is a dynamic woodcore with a combination of poplar light and harder beech slots. The use of poplar keeps the weight down without affecting performance; beech adds some extra power and strength.ConstructionThe Centre Sidewall build is a result of the 3D.Ridge technology and ensures that underfoot the ski is responsive and precise, with a smoother, more forgiving element at the tip and tail. This construction also features Titanal Band, a Titanal strip which runs in the centre of the ski from tip to tail. This maintains the overall stiffness as well as keeping the weight as low as possible. The Titanal provides a reliable and stable ride quality with the skier benefiting from a balanced mix of smoothness and liveliness.Key Features3D.Ridge CarbonThis new manufacturing process makes precise power transmission, as well as liveliness and energy, accessible with minimal effort. The carbon fibres are no longer incorporated as a uniform fleece but now integrated through a stitching procedure in such a way that their orientation and strength meet the functional requirements of each part of the ski. Since the performance of a ski is largely determined by the behaviour in the tip and tail areas, the carbon fibres are concentrated in the front and back third of the ski, where they provide direct benefits. With reliable power transmission, the ski can be controlled precisely and directly, allowing the skier to access previously unknown levels of performance.V.Werksengineered and handcrafted in Germany. This custom series focuses on revolutionary designs that trim every possible gram, which means exclusive use of expensive materials like carbon, aramids and Titanal. Trailblazing engineering and cutting-edge production methods result in an extremely lightweight ski, brimming with world-class performance capabilities without sacrificing even a hint of stability or durability. The construction and ultra-flat design translate into fantastic edge grip and lightning-fast responsiveness, so there are absolutely no limits placed on highly athletic, varied skiing.Ice Off TopsheetThis the next step in effective weight reduction. The unique surface structure and material composition reduces icing as the snow simply slides off the topsheet. This leads to a drastic reduction of weight in use, on average up to 20% to 30%.
