 Praxis Quixote
Hardwood Core: Our maple, ash, paulownia core is used in the construction of the Quixote. These woods are blended together to offer the ideal weight, strength, and dampening properties. Offset Taper: The outside edges having a shorter sidecut length and longer tip and tail taper when compared to the inside edges. For example the Quixote features an outside edge sidecut length of 136 cm, tip taper of 27 cm and tail taper of 25 cm. However, the skis inside edge sidecut length is 152 cm, tip taper of 19 cm and tail taper of 17 cm. Multidimensional Sidecut: This skis sidecut is not your dad’s old school, one trick pony, radial arc. Nope, these skis blend a variety of arcs, to create a geometry that will allow you to make turns on demand, when and where you need to with ease. The Quixote features an average turn radius of 26 meters. The sidecut radius is larger in the tail, and progressively grows smaller as you move up to the skis tip, and into the offset taper. Note the sidecut radius and geometry are the same on both the inside and outside edges of the ski. The inside edge simply extends out longer, both in the tip and tail, creating the "offset taper" ShakaCore Vibe Dampening Technology: This is where the worker has to do a 10-second breathing exercise before laying up the ski so he doesn't impart any bad vibes into the final product. Praxis Skis received a request from team rider Drew Tabke. “I wanna make a ski called the DQM. We're out skiing lines chasing things that are really just figments of our imagination, so no character better represents that than Don Quixote de la Mancha, out chasing windmills who he imagines are fantastic beasts which he needs to slay”. Praxis Skis and Drew Tabke have partnered yet again on a convention-bending ski concept, blending knowledge and technology gleaned from a decade of tireless design, experimentation and testing. The Quixote's defining design principle is offset taper, with left and right foot-specific ski outlines. While the sidecut arc/radius remains constant on both edges for a predictable carved turn, the tip and tail of the outside ski edge tapers earlier than the inside edge. While skiing, this creates a longer effective edge for the downhill ski compared to the uphill ski, a design that recognizes, and balances, the variable forces applied to each ski during a turn. The result is an incredibly balanced, two-footed platform for the rider, allowing for a more comfortable, powerful and fall-line approach to the mountain, perfectly tuned to take on any line you can imagine. Not convinced yet? Then keep reading… Traditional ski design with symmetrical shape and and x-radius sidecut is based on the assumption that the ski is carving a perfect arc on a static plane, like an alpine racer might be able to do with razor-sharp edges on hard ice. But in practice, and in particular in freeriding, the ski is rarely (if ever) carving a perfect turn. Its constantly going in and out of drifting, slarving, checking speed, carving, and basically an infinite combination of turn-types. In freeride skiing, on steep, technical terrain you're constantly trying to check speed, therefore the ideal type of turn you're making is a drifting carve. Within a drifting carve, rather than just needing to put force straight down into the ski as with a regular carve, there are lateral forces of drifting in addition to the vertical forces of carving. With a drifting carve, the body mechanics of alpine skiing dictate that the downhill leg has way more power and control than the uphill, therefore we give the Quixote a longer effective edge over which to distribute the force. The uphill leg meanwhile has less direct power, and so we give the inside edge a shorter sidecut length. This results in an equilibrium between the uphill and downhill edge, and gives the skier the ability to stand more balanced on their two feet. Additionally, having the longer taper on your uphill edge means less hanging up on turns, less hanging up buttering or spinning of jumps. Seriously, just spinning 360s on the ground on a groomer you can get the feeling - its dope. $800.00 Отзывы о лыжах Praxis Quixote (2018)Для того, чтобы добавить свой отзыв, вы должны быть авторизованы на сервере Войти и оставить свой отзыв |
