Balsa is an exceptionally light hardwood. Laminated vertically together divided by strips of woven flax (also known as linseed), to provide additional torsional and compression strength. Lighter than Poplar/Ash but more expensive.
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.
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.
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.
A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip and edge hold. Sidewalls protect the sides of the sandwich core, and increase a ski's torsional stiffness and therefore edge control and pop. Added micro-cap increases the durability of the topsheet.
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.
Blended transition zones" use complex curve geometries where both positive/negative sidecut and where rocker/camber meet to make turn initiation fluid yet the whole ski more stable and controllable in all conditions.
The ct 4.0 is the one night stand you’ll fall in love with. at 118mm underfoot, this is a lightweight, big-mountain backcountry ski made for the deep days. Its generous rocker, tailored-to-perfection early taper and innovative multi dimension sidecut means that it floats, drifts and sails through the fluffy stuff. Anti-chip micro-cap construction and a titanal binding plate underfoot promises that this ski can handle tree taps, deep landings and gnarly competition faces with ease. Designed with candide for the blower days, the slight camber underfoot, full strength sidewall construction and the updated, lightweight hybrid core mean that the ct 4.0 is more versatile than ever and feels super responsive in the crud and harder conditions.
