  • : Dedicated left and right skis with camber on the inside edge for grip and rocker on the outside for easy turn initiation, resulting in intuitive handling and smooth transitions.

  • : Unidirectional carbon fiber and carbon rods add strength and life with minimal weight, enhancing power and versatility.

  • : Flax fibers in the tip absorb vibrations and reduce chatter for a smoother ride at speed or in variable snow.
