How do the skis perform?
The Rise JR stands out thanks to its lightweight construction, making long climbs less demanding while remaining easy to control throughout the day. The Tip & Tail Rocker profile allows effortless turn initiation and improves floatation in soft snow. The 3D Radius Sidecut enables smooth transitions between short and long turns depending on speed and terrain.
In off-piste conditions, the skis remain stable even in slushy or wind-packed snow. Their lightweight design makes them highly maneuverable in narrow forest sections and technical terrain, while still providing predictable handling and solid edge grip on groomed slopes.
Key performance characteristics:
Understanding the specifications
86 mm Waist Width
An 86 mm waist offers an excellent balance between lightweight uphill performance and sufficient floatation during off-piste descents. It also remains very easy to handle on groomed slopes.
Benefits:
3D Radius Sidecut
Three different turning radii allow the ski to naturally adapt to different speeds and skiing styles. This gives the ski playful handling at lower speeds while maintaining stability during faster skiing.
Benefits:
Technologies
Multilayer Woodcore
The multilayer wood core combines low weight, strength, and natural flexibility to provide excellent skiing performance and long-term durability.
Benefits:
WOODCORE
The full wood core delivers natural energy transfer and consistent performance throughout the ski's lifetime.
Benefits:
3D Radius Sidecut

Die Seitenwange setzt sich in Form von direkt hinterlegten, extrem stabilen Holzlagen an den Flanken des Sandwichkerns ins Innere des Skis fort. In Kombination mit einem flexibleren, leichteren Holz in der Mitte des Sandwichkerns bringt dieser Aufbau zahlreiche Vorteile: Der Hartholzanteil innerhalb der Seitenwange sorgt für erhöhte Kraftübertragung, trägt zum besseren Kantengriff bei und unterstützt die Kante bei Gewalteinwirkung von außen. Der Weichholzanteil in der Skimitte sorgt durch sein geringeres Gewicht für mehr Agilität und Wendigkeit Die Kombination aus beiden Holzarten über die gesamte Skilänge trägt zu einer optimalen Steifigkeitsverteilung der Ski bei und ermöglicht eine präzisere Skiführung. Der Aufbau bietet hochsportlichen Skifahrern eine Kombination aus Wendigkeit und Stabilität, womit auch die entscheidenden hundertstel Sekunden zwischen Sieg und Niederlage gewonnen werden können.
Three radii in one ski for maximum TURNING & SPEED VERSATILITY IN ALL MOUNTAIN SKIING LONG TIP & TAIL RADIUS Usage of long radii at tip and tail for big turns and high speed // easy steering and maneuverability // disruption resistant at the tip // no radius limitation and ease of turn exit TIGHT CENTER RADIUS Usage of shorter radius in the center for short turns and lower speed // extremely easy to initiate short turns // strikingly agile // effortless and smooth in short turns
Reinforced sidewalls thanks to especially engineered material ABS which not only reinforces the edges but also dampens unwanted vibrations. Thanks to this construction, the skis are more stable and steady in faster ride, whether in deep snow or on hard surface. Direct and strong powertransmission with full length sidewalls.
