It is a true freeride ski that doubles as an all-mountain ski for those who want ultimate versatility on the mountain. It utilizes Amphibio Carbon Line Technology for dynamic power and precision and a re-shaped tip and tail taper design make it a perfect choice for every day, every turn shape, on any surface. It´s wide enough to handle powder, yet narrow enough in the waist to grip and rip on the front side. With Amphibio profile for exceptional maneuverability and edge grip, SST sidewalls for direct power transmission, and Amphibio Carbon Line technology for stability and ease at any speed, the second generation of this multiple award winning ski provides a silky smooth ride no matter where your mountain exploration takes you.

Technologies:
Amphibio profile:
– Amphibio technology is a revolutionary ski design that integrates both rocker and camber profiles into dedicated left and right skis. Amphibio skis feature a cambered inside edge assuring precision, edge grip and stability – while a rockered outside edge provides forgiveness, turning ease and smooth transitions.
Rst Construction:
– The RST Construction optimizes the transfer of power and energy from the skier to the edge, providing maximum edge hold from the tip to the tail of the ski.
Power Shift System :
– The PowerShift is a fully integrated binding system with the free flex plate-in- plate design. Unique PowerEdge Lifters provide direct energy transmission ensuring quick turn initiation and power throughout the turn. Vibration absorbers fore and aft on the plate dampen chatter to maximize edge hold and responsiveness.
Laminated woodcore:
– This tip-to-tail Laminated Woodcore is specially shaped for each model and size. Using different wood types in various combinations allows for the adjustment of the flex pattern for different types of performance. This extremely responsive and highly durable wood core transmits power directly to the edges and excels in a variety of conditions.
Mono Ti Reinforcement:
– The Mono Ti construction uses a single layer of titanium combined with the woodcore for increased performance and responsiveness.
