Technology designed to reduce vibrations and support smoother ski control at a wide range of speeds.
The Camber profile is characterized by edge contact along the entire length of the ski, excellent edge grip, stability and power transfer.
The ski’s responsiveness is enhanced with a single layer of titanium positioned on top of the woodcore. The durability of the flex pattern is protected through the introduction of Mono Titanium to the sides of the ski.
Race-inspired woodcore designed to balance strength, responsiveness and control.
The RST side edge design contributes to the optimal transfer of forces and energy from the skier to the edges of the skis and ensures maximum edge grip from tip to tail.
Shift X is an integrated binding platform designed to support the ski's natural flex and provide smooth power transfer between the skier and the edges.
Sintered race base with a special structure designed for good glide and long-lasting performance with proper maintenance.
TractionTip is a specially shaped ski tip designed to provide smoother turn initiation and improved snow contact at the beginning of the turn.
