Laminates such as fbreglass or carbon-fbre are used to compliment the properties of the core material by increasing torsional strength, edge-grip and rebound.
Used on our Agent & Candide Thovex series, phenol is a hard plastic material that secures the binding screws. The one-piece design fits most touring bindings with centre screws.
Paulownia is a very light hardwood that is stable and easy to machine. Cores made with this material are lighter than Balsa/Flax cores, but are more expensive and require a lamination layer such as carbon-fibre to improve responsiveness.
Used on most of our skis. A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip and edge hold. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
STP Technology is a patent-pending process used to press a small wave into the length of the ski. This creates a ‘pre-stressed’ core with increased torsional strength, letting us use less wood to create lighter, more forgiving skis with above-average edge-grip. For 14/15, we have developed a variation of the technique that provides a perfectly flat base.
Tip rocker and either traditional or flat camber underfoot aids float off-piste yet retains feel on-piste.
Your perfect day starts by making quick work of the piste right after catching first chair, zipping in out of the trees to lunch and firing up those quads in bump-land until last light. For you, the new 9 is your ticket to heaven. At 95mm underfoot, the 9 builds on the Standard Series dual-radius sidecut, which compliments all skiing styles and abilities, making quick work of the tightest tree runs and mogul fields. While the 2mm of traditional camber on the mid-width platform is perfect for laying down hard-arcing piste turns.
