Product Details
Rocker Type
AR Freestyle Rocker¨CRockered tips and tails are combined with positive camber underfoot 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.
Flex
Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff)¨CTip: 3 | Mid: 5 | Tail: 4
Core
Caruba Core¨CArmada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest to be ultralight.
Laminates
Laminate Matrix¨CA directional layering of fiberglass dictates the flex pattern and torsional rigidity of the ski to create the ultimate lively and forgiving feel with quick response.
Sidewalls
AR75 Sidewall¨CSidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.
Base
S7 Base¨CDurable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.
Edges
1.7 Lightweight Edge¨CLight and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.
Additional Features
Smear Tech¨CA 3D beveled base in the tip and tail creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self-centering in deep snow, and uncatchable on takeoffs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, left, or right.
