MEN’S ALPINE SKIS WITH BINDINGS – BOOST 900 R

EXPERIENCE

Different radius depending on the height for perfect adaptation to your preferred type turn.

There are 3 sizes to choose from that correspond to 3 programmes. The size of your skis is not determined by your height.



XTR - Extra Short Turn 166cm = allows you to make very short turns with very fast edge changes



STR - Short Turn 171cm = the most versatile of the 900 R range, allowing you to make many types of turns



MTR - Medium Turn 176cm = allows you to turn wider and/or make large, fast curves

STRUCTURE

The ski’s full length wood core ensures even deformation in curves, for a responsive, comfortable and stable ski.



Carbon reinforcement for "energising" the ski during acceleration.



Melamine vertical edges which create a firm grip on hard snow.



High molecular weight sole.

BINDINGS

LOOK branded bindings, NX 12 KONECT model GW black

Grip Walk Compatible

DIN from 3 to 12

Suitable for ski boots with a sole length between 255 mm and 378 mm.

Durability

Preparation

Waxed and sharpened skis, ready to use. Edge sharpened to 89°.

SIDECUT

122/68/103 for size 166 / 171 / 176 CM

The sidecut corresponds to the mm width of the tip, waist and tail.



As for the curve radius, the smaller it is the shorter the ski will turn (small turns)

The bigger the curve radius the more the ski will turn



3 radius= 3 programmes depending on the preferred type of turn

- Radius XTR = 12.8 m for very short turns

- Radius STR = 13.6 m for short to long turns

- Radius MTR = 14.5 long or high speed turns

What is the rocker?

When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the tip and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised. This is the camber. The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.

WHAT IS A ROCKER?

On a "rocker" ski, the tip, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground sooner than with a cambered ski: this has the effect of moving the contact points toward the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened and offers manoeuvrability and floatability in soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more edge grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.

OUR AFTER-SKI ADVICE

After a long day skiing, this is what you need to do to guarantee your ski's long life:

* Wipe your edges with a cloth at the end of the day to prevent rusting.

* Use ski ties to prevent the soles from rubbing against each other.

* Store your skis in a dry place and away from sunlight.
