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.
A 118mm waist width, progressive shape and state of the art construction materials ensure float and slashability as well as ridiculous amounts of stability and edge grip for its weight. The Prime 4.0 is the perfect tool of escape for riders like Sam Anthamatten who are pushing the limits of steep skiing to the most challenging ascents and the gnarliest descents out there.
