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.
Matte EC4060 topsheets require no lacquering saving around 100gm / pair, and reduces the use of not-quite-environmentally friendly lacquer. It also shows through the natural structure of the underlying laminate layers.
Our standard core material. Poplar is a medium-weight, damp, vibration-absorbing softwood. Ash is a heavier hardwood that compliments the Poplar by increasing stiffness, responsiveness and providing a solid base for the binding screws.
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.
Used on 90% of our skis, silkscreen printing provides bright, strong colours that help our skis pop off the walls in-store. Unlike the sublimation process used by many of our competitors, very little waste is created using this method, and water-based inks are used to reduce environmental impact.
Tip & tail rocker with varying amounts of camber underfoot gives maximum versatility and float off-piste.
A staple in Candide Thovex’s pro model series, the 2.0 reflects the flying Frenchman’s silky smooth and extremely playful skiing style. These characteristics derive from the ski’s snappy poplar and dense ash core, combined with a carbon reinforcement underfoot. Its symmetrical tip and tail dimensions, as well as its early rise rocker profile, allows users to have the maximum amount of fun. Keep the cameras rolling, because you’ll be channeling your inner Candide from the moment you click in.
