Borrowed from world-cup race skis, two different radii on the one ski - a tighter radius forward of the boot centre coupled with a 20% larger sidecut behind - increases the edge-to-edge responsiveness so you can carve short turns whilst retaining high speed stability and control through the tail of the ski.
Poplar is a softwood that saves weight and has absorbent qualities that increase the ski's dampness, while beech is a hardwood that provides strength and snap, for a playful, responsive ski.
Used on most of our skis. A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip and edge hold. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip and edge hold. Sidewalls protect the sides of the sandwich core, and increase a ski's torsional stiffness and therefore edge control and pop. Added micro-cap increases the durability of the topsheet.
Blended transition zones" use complex curve geometries where both positive/negative sidecut and where rocker/camber meet to make turn initiation fluid yet the whole ski more stable and controllable in all conditions.
As a tried and true all-mountain, go anywhere favourite of both men and women alike over the years, the 2016-17 Prodigy is now available as an all-new women-specific ski. Featuring updated technologies such as sandwich construction and poplar/beech cores for durability and enhanced on-snow feel, the ProdigyW turns on a dime with women's specific mount points, flex, dual-radius sidecut and transition zone technology. Combine these with a 96mm waist, 2mm of camber underfoot and slight tip and tail rocker give you a versatile, easy to manoeuvre, yet wonderfully stable ski.
