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.
Poplar is a softwood that saves weight and has absorbent qualities that increase the ski's dampness, while beech is a hardwood that provides strength and snap, for a playful, responsive ski.
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.
From the streets of Estonia to the halfpipe and railyards of Breckenridge, the Candide 1.0 is the hardest working freestyle ski on the mountain. The preferred ski of urban slayer Tim McChesney, the updated Candide 1.0 features a new, smoother camberline and poplar/beech core for better on-snow feel. A carbon reinforcement layer underfoot, micro-cap construction and extra thick 2.5mm edges add to durability when cruising concrete, whilst sandwich construction, a 90mm waist, 3mm of camber and rockered tip and tail make the ski more versatile than ever.
