A modern, frontside performance piste ski with precise edge control, high-speed stability & nimble handling. The RX easily handles all the piste can throw at it, & then some! For advanced & expert carvers. With the help of the HOLLOWTECH technology the ski‘s running characteristics is enhanced. The cutout section in the shovel leads to a reduced weight of the freely vibrating zone by almost 15 %. The resulting lower inertia moments optimize the retraction behavior of the ski. This means that after an impact the shovel returns much faster to the stable condition, enabling the ski to keep its track much more precisely. A bit wider than a classic carving ski the running surface is increased by about 6 %. This allows consistent edging on varying surfaces & when carving makes higher edge angles possible. The ELLIPTICAL RADIUS enables agile turns. The narrower turning radius in the shovel creates progressive steering characteristics. Only 5 –7 cm behind the contact point the sidecut merges with the shovel geometry. Precision & performance. A 45°aluminium bevel on the top sheet of the skis, distributes impacts & protects against mechanical wear. Ski
