The Flair 79 delivers sporty performance for fatigue-free days on the slopes. 3D. Ridge technology gives the ski extra grip & control without losing any of the smooth handling that comes from having tip & tail rocker. The 79mm waist ensures versatility, so it can carve down the steepest, firmest runs & flow effortlessly through fresh snow. The Dual Woodcore XL adds strength; a steel laminate provides stability when the conditions aren’t perfect. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type All mountain with a heavy piste bias. Cruise blues, attack reds & challenge yourself on some black runs, or find some adventure away from the prepared runs & look for trees, fresh snow, bumps & packed conditions. It will turn & carve with the best piste skis &, when the runs get cut-up & messy, it remains calm & smooth while the others start to feel less balanced in the trickier snow. Skier Type Advanced skiers & stronger intermediates who want a ski with good grip. It’s not hard to use but it does feel precise & responsive, suiting skiers with decent skills. Not every turn needs to be carved &, as a ski with an all mountain background, the initiation & release are smooth meaning it isn’t a tiring ski. Overview Shape It has piste shaping with wider
Dimensions, not so wide that it feels sluggish on marked runs but enough for extra stability. The shape goes right into the tip & tail to create a long effective edge for good grip & precise handling. Rocker means that it doesn’t feel grabby or twitchy. Rocker XTD Tip & Tail Rocker uses a unique shape with a longer rocker profile compared to traditional tip & tail rocker. There is a short camber underfoot for grip & response; the shovel is firmer, & tip & tail rocker aids turn initiation & release. Core The Dual Woodcore XL uses a PU construction with a large wooden core. A steel layer in the ski provides good durability, controlled flex & smooth skiing at faster speeds. Construction Centre Sidewall construction provides direct & strong power transmission with partial sidewalls in the centre of the ski, combined with the super-slim 3D. Ridge construction. Key Features 3D. Ridge This new manufacturing process makes precise power transmission, as well as liveliness & energy, accessible with minimal effort. The carbon fibres are no longer incorporated as a uniform fleece but now integrated through a stitching procedure in such a way that their orientation & strength meet the functional requirements of each part of the ski. Since the performance of a ski is largely determined by the behaviour in the tip & tail areas, the carbon fibres are concentrated in the front & back third of the ski, where they provide direct benefits. With reliable power transmission, the ski can be controlled precisely & directly, allowing the skier to access previously unknown levels of performance.e B tester’s comments: Florrie (Covent Garden) I took it out in the morning on hard-pack/ice & I loved it! Quick to carve, stuck like glue through the turn & enjoyed a bit of speed.
