Overview Shape 77mm in the waist is good for response & fast edge changes on piste as well as providing a good platform when the snow is rougher. Thanks to the light weight it's so fast swapping edges that it feels narrower without losing the stability of the 77mm. The 14m (166cm) radius produces fast turns in a comfortable variety of shapes. Rocker Lots of camber for the best response, with a small amount of tip rocker to improve turn initiation & handling on rougher snow. Core Wood core, from the best species, precision milled to a hundredth of a millimetre. This is reinforced with two complete layers of glass fibre, reinforced at strategic locations. This stripped down, clean engineering allows XO Skis to finely tune the longitudinal & torsional flex exactly how they want it. Construction Sidewalls are used for the best energy transfer & precision. A small cap is used on top to protect them from damage & to maintain the prestige look.
