DPS Wailer A112 RP Skis 2021

Product Description

DPS Alchemist skis use an aerospace grade pre-preg carbon laminate that sets the standards for strength-to-weight ratio & for this season have extra dampening properties to smooth the ride. The A112 RP combines generous nose & tail rockers with a 15m radius, giving unbeatable floatation, flowing turns & superb manoeuvrability for a 112mm ski. This isn’t some powder pig that wallows around pistes, the shape means it will cut carves with the best all mountain skis. It’s mix of lightness, precision & versatility makes it the most special freeride ski you're likely to come across. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type It’s soft snow focused but skis way more easily than any other 112mm waisted ski on the market, making it a great choice for a freeride ski that isn’t just limited to powder days. It’s surprisingly fun to ski on pistes & has plenty of grip too. Skier Type Advanced skiers who want the smoothest turns in soft snow & a ski that will be responsive & playful around the mountain. Overview Shape The RP shape is both surfy & intuitive. The tapered tip & tail initiate turns effortlessly & allows them to be exited with clean carves or easily washed out. 112mm provides awesome float when you find soft snow, working with the shape to allow the ski to flow through turns in powder & keep that surfy, playful feel even when the snow isn’t deep or you’re on groomers. The turny 15m radius feels great on firmer snow & helps create the flowing feel in softer conditions. Rocker Rocker at the tip & tail equates to 45% rocker. Sounds like a lot but it works perfectly with the shaping. The camber underfoot makes the most of the carbon construction & playful 15m radius. Core Aspen is a light but tough wood, making it ideal for a high-performance ski that wants to keep the weight down. Construction Sidewalls maximise the precision & the energy transfer, resulting in the best levels of edge grip & control. Alchemist build is cutting edge. Key Features Alchemist Alchemist models are Pure Carbon skis that are the ultimate expression of the craft.

Damp, but light in weight when compared to a traditional alpine build, Alchemist-constructed skis are engineered to be the ultimate performance construction with minimal compromise in any application. Accomplished skiers feel at home charging high-speed resort laps, or taking these skis into the backcountry for a quick run.RP Shaping The RP chassis started with the first Wailer 112 RP design that incorporated generous tip/tail rocker & taper. RP originally stood for ‘ Resort Powder’, & the legend began. Its shape opens doors & makes truly versatile powder planing accessible to many. The RP’s core shaping equation is impressive, 45% rocker merged with a 15m sidecut & means natural, intuitive skiing.e B tester’s comments: Luke (buying Team) Some of the most fun I've had on a set of skis. They're so stable & manoeuvrable, I had complete confidence in soft snow. I even caught some air & landed it!
