The ARV 96 combines the best elements of a freestyle skis light nimble handling with the energy & control of a freeride model. AR Freestyle Rocker uses rocker at the tip & tail with positive camber underfoot, allowing you to charge with ease through unpredictable snow & hold a carve on firm conditions. The Pop-Lite Core mixes light & denser woods in horizontal laminates to create a lively ski that has all the power needed. Tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) effortlessly fuses smooth park & burly all-mountain handling. It’s great at lazy skiing at speed & comfortably jumps from piste to off-piste. ...

The ARV 96 Ti comes from Armada’s Zero series, a range of skis that represent innovation & athlete led ideas. It’s based on the ARV 96 but has twin layers of Titanal added, full length & width. This is a different option for skiers who want power & grip to blast GS turns down pistes as well as a twin tip shape for park laps & powder runs. 96mm underfoot is ideal for a variety of terrain & the construction matches the best of the powerful freeride models, so you can be sure it will be hard-charging. Tester’s comments: Szymon (Castlefield) I love having a stiff ski & the twintip tail made washing off speed so easy but I could still charge through long carves on piste & blast through a mixture of terrain. Amazing! ...

Phil Casabon’s pro model ski, the Bdog, caters perfectly to his press & pop mastery. For 19/20 this means a new construction & shape. The Circle Flex uses super flexible tips & tails in conjunction with straight sections in the sidecut, located right where the pressing happens for maximum surface area & minimal hang-ups. The core is a mix of poplar & ash woods. The poplar is lightweight, & the full-length ash stringers are high density & tough, together they create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power for needed for boosting. 2.5 Impact edges are oversized & specially heat-treated to resist damage; the S7 base is slick, tough & fast for maximum speed as well as durability. The combination of AR75 Sidewall & AR Freestyle Rocker adds versatility & enhanced handling. The sidewall runs the length of the ski edge working with the camber underfoot to produce grip on firm transitions & pop on kickers; rocker at the tips & tails ensure smooth handling with no hooking.94mm in the waist feels quick edge to edge & the 15m radius makes it turn nicely on hard pack when taking quick runs down groomers. Thanks to the soft flex it never becomes unruly in the park, in fact this ski pretty much redefines playful. Lock into that tranny in any park or urban setting, stomp & repeat. ...
