  Extra Light

  The perfect combination to procure lightness and comfort, while having a rigid construction at the same time in torsion and flexion, with exemplary reliability. The perfect mechanical characteristics for ski touring! This construction is therefore quite naturally in Adret 81, Adret 88 and Adret 88 Lady. High Modulus (HM) and High Resistance (HR) carbon fibers give the ski the lightness and rigidity expected by the most demanding hikers. Comfort, however, is not left on the sidelines. Kevlar fibers absorb vibrations to give skis an impeccable touch of snow,as well on the hard as in the powder.

  

  3D CAP

  This is our lighter sandwich construction concept. ABS caps are not present on these skis but it’s still waterproof : the topsheet and fiber are recovering the edges to assure a long life to the skis.

  Multi-radius shape

  Drawing technic that provides us to change the radius in several independents zones (tip, center, tail). it brings the radius much shorter underfoot (increased handling) whilst keeping tips and tail tolerance for the hardest snow.

  TORSION RESISTANCE

  Stiff flex underfoot, a bit softer on the two end points for a better absorption and an easy pivoting.
