Overview
The S/Max 10 has everything you want from a ski built for groomed runs. edge Amplifier ramps up energy transmission by integrating the ski/binding system more effectively than ever before, resulting in unmatched levels of grip and precision on even the hardest snow. The wood core, Titanal reinforcing and semi sandwich sidewall construction ensure power and stability for skiing at speed on any surface.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes are the home, forget about anything else. Red runs and blacks, it will cruise a blue run but youll be missing the fun factor that a bit of speed and some quick edge changes can bring on steepr slopes.Skier Typeexperienced intermediates up to advanced skiers looking for precision and energy. Though the S/Max 10 may not be so much about all-out power, you can push it pretty hard. Its for piste enthusiasts who want to rack up mile after mile of turns on groomed snow. Theyll be good skiers with an understanding of how to carve but they dont have to be turning the skis totally cleanly yet, there could still be some skid at the start or end of the turn. This model will help to perfect the turns because turning is its forte, and, if youve forgotten how much fun it can be then get ready to remind yourself.OverviewShape73mm in the waist and a 15m radius (170cm) means this ski likes to turn and switch edges quickly whilst having enough width to feel nice and solid when the snow roughs up. It keeps the widest sections far into the tip and tail for a long effective edge and better grip. The tip has enough of a smooth transition so that it is predictable in to turns; the width on the blunt tail holds on right through a carve.RockerNo rocker on this ski, its full camber for full grip and maxium responseCoreA full poplar woodcore maximises stability and liveliness while ensuring good ski-to-snow contact. A double layer of Titanal, one on either side of the core, boosts hard snow performance. It increases precision, offers a good edge grip and improves responsiveness.ConstructionSemi Sandwich Sidewall is the best of both. The cap at the tip and tails reduces the swing weight, adds durability and assists with starting and completing turns due to its forgiveness.
