POWER TURN technology is developed with a traditional 100% increased energy gathering chamber under the boot, delivering maximum power transfer, unrivalled downhill edging and allowing for aggressive arc exit.

Combination of two types of construction: a carving ski construction with a very large camber and a freeride ski construction with a wider center of the ski. Oversize combines both types for better performance and very easy handling. This very aggressive carving design adds precision, strong edging, power and more feel to the carving ski. The wide centre improves stability, comfort and balance. OVERSIZE skis offer maneuverability, power and control.

Slant Nose technology optimizes ski/snow contact with more action at the tip. Tip volume is reduced by 15%: less inertia, lighter. A livelier, more responsive ski, with easier edge control. The centre of gravity is shifted in two directions: - towards the inside edge for better weight/power transfer. Towards the skis, closer to the snow, for great ski-to-snow contact, precision and tolerance. This technology offers better performance

New wider metal binding-board interface increases torsional stiffness for better performance and precision. The control beam combined with Twin VAS (Visco Material) absorbs vibrations and allows power to be transferred directly to the ski ends. The easy-to-adjust, tangle-free binding, together with the integrated TPX system, ensures easy operation.
