Overview
DPS have a new construction and in applying it to their 100 RP shape theyve created a lightweight, super playful backcountry ski. Its not going to tire you out accessing the stashes where the unique rocker profile and 100mm waist are going to shine. Float is guaranteed, as is effortless handling whatever the conditions or terrain. The core uses 2 different woods to ensure strength without excess weight and is enhanced with a high-tech carbon laminate that has great dampening qualities as well as adding precision and energy to the ski.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Backcountry and searching for powder and soft snow. The rocker profile and radius mean that even when the snow isnt great its still simple to ski and handles well even in tighter spots. The shape means it will carve out turns way more comfortably than most BC models.Skier TypeBackcountry skiers who want a wider ski thats as easy turning as models much narrower. The construction ensures its light and responsive with floaty, intuitive handling, but this is much more a playful ski than a charger.OverviewShapeThe RP shape is both surfy and intuitive. 100mm underfoot provides enough platform for all conditions without being too wide; the tapered tip and tail initiate turns effortlessly and allows them to be exited with clean carves or easily washed out.RockerRocker at the tip and tail equates to 45% rocker. Sounds like a lot but it works perfectly with the shaping. The camber underfoot makes the most of the carbon construction and playful 15m radius.CoreFabricated with 2 different woods, ash for power and strength and paulownia for lightweight, and combined with a purpose-built aerospace grade foam. These materials are enhanced with DPS proprietary new carbon laminate to create a core that is lightweight and powerful, damp and energetic.ConstructionThe DPS R&D team have engineered a construction with a horizontally combined core, innovative new sidewall technology and carbon layers to produce a supremely damp and stable platform.
