Technology:
Smart Skinclip:
– The Newly Developed Smart Skinclip System Allows The Ski Tourer To Decide For Himself, Depending On The Situation, In Which Direction He Should Pull The Skin On And Off. A Standard Snap Hook At The Tail End Of The Ski Allows The Skin To Be Attached And Detached From Behind. The Skin Can, However, Also Be Pulled On And Off Quickly And Easily From The Front. This New Flexibility Is Made Possible By An Elastic Snap Hook, Which Is Also Easy To Grip With Gloves. A Subtle Depression In The Ski Tip Gives The Hook Lateral Guidance And Prevents It From Unintentionally Releasing The Skin While Walking.
Hybrid Multilayer Woodcore:
– The Extra-Light Hybrid Multilayer Wood Core Is A Very Complex Core That Is Used In The Blaze. Light And Very Stable Poplar And Beech Woods, Individually Weighed And Selected By Weight Before Gluing, Are Used In This Wood Core. In The Tip-To-Tail Construction, The Wood Extends To The Tip Of The Blade And End, Giving Them The Sophisticated Combination Of Good Stability And Low Weight. In The Center Of The Core, A Cnc-Milled Isocore Area Contributes To Optimal Liveliness And Dynamic Development. All In All, This Design Allows The Stability Of The Ski To Meet The High Demands Of A Freeride Ski, And This At A Weight That Is Only Slightly Higher Than That Of A Touring Ski.
Full Sidewall / Mini Cap:
– Full Sidewall Construction With Mini Cap Overlapping To Provide Best Durability.
