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.
Engineered in the pursuit of excellence, for both inbounds and outbounds, the prime 2.0 excels all over the mountain. Featherweight due to its super-lightweight hybrid core, the 98mm underfoot prime 2.0 boasts a whole load of torsional stability thanks to the innovative use of the proprietary weave textreme carbon, meaning the ski grips even in the hardest and iciest of conditions. A multi dimension sidecut and extended rocker in the tip and tail gives this ski its dynamism, making it fun to carve on piste, nimble and manoeuvrable in those tight, no-fall-zone couloir entries, and exhilarating when you’re arcing out of the glacial bowl below. A titanal plate underfoot ensures the best possible reliability for your bindings when you decide to set off on your next touring adventure. Lightweight and exceptionally stable, this is the dynamic freeride touring champion.
