Rocker Camber Small Rise: Skis with a rocker in the tip, camber in the middle and a small rise in the tail are very versatile. The ski is easy to turn, and the camber under the foot gives the ski grip on harder snow. The tail is slightly raised, but it is not like a full rocker. This makes for a balanced combination of easy turning and carving, without compromising on stability.
Caruba Core: A lightweight core of Caruba wood provides a very low weight, but maintains the necessary cushioning and power on the descent.
All-mountain Edge 2.1: Strong steel edge adapted to the ski type. The All-Mountain 2.1 is a thermally reinforced steel edge with perfect balance between durability and ski feel.
Sidewall Construction: A durable PU sidewall seals and protects the ski’s layered construction while adding structural strength. By improving power transfer from the skier to the edges, sidewall construction delivers better edge grip, increased stability at speed, and more precise handling. It also enhances durability and impact resistance for long-lasting performance.
