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.
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.
Titanal is strong and light and has excellent dampening properties. These skis have a full layer of titanal giving excellent torsional strength and responsiveness.
One day you might be harnessed up on a high alpine touring pursuit and the next day you’ll be catching first chair to carve up the corduroy before anyone else. The prime 1.0 is the ultimate all mountain lightweight tool that excels on all days and feels just as good on the way up as on the way down. At 90mm underfoot and weighing a mere 1440g at a 178cm length, this featherweight setup is constructed with a hybrid core combined with textreme carbon to make sure you have premium levels of torsional rigidity and stability so there’s no need to hold back on the descent. A titanal binding plate underfoot as well as full strength sidewalls promise reliability and durability in a ski that wasn’t built to compromise.
