Technologies

Dark Matter Technology

Injected TPU inserts weighted with powdered stainless steel are integrated into the core at strategically reinforced stability points. Their placement is tailored to each model and ski size to optimize stability and performance.

Enhanced Stability Points

These reinforced areas improve edge grip and torsional control. They enhance stability and predictability during aggressive turns and at higher speeds without adding unnecessary stiffness or weight.

Titanal I-Beam

A central Titanal laminate improves torsional stiffness, power transmission and edge grip while maintaining a smooth flex. The result is a stable, precise ski with reliable control for carving and all-mountain skiing.

All-Terrain Rocker™

A gradual rise in the tip combined with a short, low tail rocker provides versatility across different snow conditions.

Aspen/Paulownia Core

The core combines lightweight, durable aspen wood with flexible paulownia wood, delivering a balanced blend of strength, flex and weight.
