Description The latest in a new generation of race carving profiles, developed in conjunction with Salomon World Cup athletes and giant slalom courses. Best performance in long radius turns and in linking medium radius turns on hard and packed snow.
New World Cup Carving Trajectory
Oversize Shape Technology: Precision and power in the steering, greater range of use (long and medium radius turns). It has a wider tail for an easier acceleration out of the curve.
Great Performance
Monocoque Titanium Ski A system that guarantees ski/snow contact for a perfect response to the dissymmetric forces on the ski in the turn.
Twin Regulator and Arms
Monocoque Prolink System that guarantees ski/snow contact for perfect response to the dissymmetric forces on the ski in the turn.
Oversize Snow Contact Length (O.S.C.L.)
New increased OSCL to improve precision and steering turn initiation in the turn steering phase. The shovel and tail areas have been shortened to have less inertia, yet maximize edge contact.
Filtering Extended Power Platform
To relay the skier's power with a greater precision and to filter shocks from rough terrain.

Summary: A total kick ass, take anywhere ski. I was a former racer and ski like I raced, fast and hard. Whether laying down super fast GS or SG turns to taking them in the trees, these skis will do it all for you.
I have these mounted with a Salomon Hangl plate and Marker MRR bindings with a lift under them. I fel like I'm on stilts. But can lay these babies over and not have to worry about booting out.

Summary: This ski just plain old kicks ass. They are 99/00 model year so I got them from a seller off of Ebay for about $185.00. That alone is a major plus. That aside, it plows through the crud and turns on a dime. It also has a lot of speed and is very stable. I found it to be quite good in the bumps as well but the tail can kick you out if you're not careful. It does require a skilled pilot but not so much where you are not in control. If you can get your hands on some, I highly recomend them. I have a pair of Salomon SP 900 Equipe Propulse bindings on them and with the active lifter plate, you can carve some sweet turns with all that leverage.

Summary: The best ski I've skied on for everything but the deep pow. These are my all round boards. If you like to go FAST, these are the skis to do it. I use 'em with S900 Alums w/ 10mm risers, and they rock.

Summary: This ski has tremendous spring and rebound, and is light under foot. Carves very well (I learned how in about 8 hours of effort). Very good for GS shaped turns, all out downhill speeds not quite so great. Slightly stubborn at low speeds, but manageable.
Highly recommended for fast carved GS shaped turns. The harder you lean on the edge, the tighter the turn radius.
