Borrowed from world-cup race skis, two different radii on the one ski - a tighter radius forward of the boot centre coupled with a 20% larger sidecut behind - increases the edge-to-edge responsiveness so you can carve short turns whilst retaining high speed stability and control through the tail of the ski.
Paulownia is a very light hardwood that is stable and easy to machine. Cores made with this material are lighter than Balsa/Flax cores, but are more expensive and require a lamination layer such as carbon-fibre to improve responsiveness.
Our standard core material. Poplar is a medium-weight, damp, vibration-absorbing softwood. Ash is a heavier hardwood that compliments the Poplar by increasing stiffness, responsiveness and providing a solid base for the binding screws.
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.
The Dictator 4.0 is built to negotiate 50 degree sharky steep and send off huge cliffs into champagne powder. Dual Titanal keeps you locked in, your turn in control and your speed fast while a 115mm waist width provides a boatful of float in the deep and chopped up snow as well as a whole load of landing gear when you decide to send it.
