This woodcore is a mix between poplar and karuba, offering a specific construction. Karuba offers lightness and inertia ,while poplar ensures good ski-to-snow contact.
Full Sandwich Sidewalls guarantees stability and precision, it enhances performance by providing good edge grip and smooth ski-to-snow contact.
Basalt Superlight Fibers
A single layer of titanal reinforcement, on top of the core, offers great edge grip, efficient energy transfer and liveliness.
Cork is three times more absorbing than Koroyd. Using it in the tip of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening with even less weight.
A high-density injected piece of ABS underfoot, combined with full length sidewalls, offers a strong underfoot platform which maximizes grip on hard snow.
A newly patented Salomon process to recycle our factory’s ABS waste and build new 360° ABS sidewalls.
