The brilliant S/ Max 8 is the choice for piste skiers who want maximum performance with impressive ease of use. Race department influenced shaping & a user-friendly construction means this is the perfect choice for improving piste skiers. edge Amplifier helps maintain grip throughout the turn by transferring maximum power to the edge & just the right amount of rocker allows turn initiation to be effortless for fluid linked carves on groomed snow. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type Pistes are the home, forget about anything else. Cruising blues & reds or building up some speed & riding the edge all the way through a turn. Black runs are fine too, though they won't be attacked so hard. Skier Type Intermediate to advanced skiers looking for precision & energy in a package that also allows some forgiveness. The S/ Max 8 is for piste enthusiasts who want to rack up mile after mile of turns on groomed snow. Carving is be the aim but the construction also allows for easy turn release to facilitate sliding or skidding. Overview Shape 73mm in the waist & a 15m radius (170cm) means this ski likes to turn & switch edges quickly whilst having enough width to feel nice & solid when the snow roughs up. It keeps the widest sections far into the tip & tail for a long effective edge & better grip. The tip has enough of a smooth transition so that it is predictable in to turns; the width on the blunt tail holds on right through a carve if you want that feeling of grip. Rocker No rocker on this ski, it's full camber for full grip & maxium response Core A poplar woodcore offers stability, liveliness & forgiveness while ensuring good ski-to-snow contact. A single layer of Titanal reinforcement on top of the core improves the edge grip, energy transmission & response. Construction Semi Sandwich Sidewall is the best of both. The cap at the tip & tails reduces the swing weight, adds durability & assists with starting & completing turns due to its forgiveness. The sidewall underfoot improves the precision & the grip on firmer snow. Key Featuresedge Amplifier SLThis is a built-up area through the centre of the ski around the binding, visually obvious, you can sense how it will affect the ski. The redesigned, SL specific 2-piece edge Amplifier provides 30% more grip while maintaining the right amount of flex underfoot for increased reactivity, agility & grip.e B tester’s comments: Steve (Buying Team) I love this ski for just how effortless it makes carving on piste. It will boost skills & confidence as it feels like a performance ski without any of the hassle of being over stiff or unwieldy. Linking smooth, clean carved turns at speed on red runs has never been easier.
