Whether you're perfecting your technique or enjoying a relaxed day on the slopes, the S/Max 8 provides a fun, engaging experience tailored to your skill level.
Camber
The ski has a traditional pre-tensioning over almost its entire length. This shape makes it easy to build up pressure in the turns, creating good edge grip. Nowadays, nearly all Camber skis also have some sort of rocker in the tip to improve turn initiation.
Dual Core²
A method involving layering materials in a sandwich structure, where fibers are arranged in three different directions to enhance transmission of forces. The ash wood core adds to the stability and energy of the ski, while the overall design helps to reduce the weight.
Full Ash Woodcore
The full Ash Woodcore is inspired by the Race Woodcore and it provides stability, dynamism and responsiveness.
Single Ti
A single layer of titanal reinforcement on top of the core for great edge grip, efficient energy transfer, and liveliness.
Semi Sandwich Sidewalls
Ensures stability and smooth ski-to-snow contact, enhancing maneuverability for easier turn engagement. Provides a responsive and controlled skiing experience, making turns more precise and enjoyable.
Edge Amplifier
Recycled ABS sidewall
Instead of using virgin, oil-based plastics, the sidewalls are made from recycled material waste generated during production. Typically, 40 to 50% of the material used in milling ski sidewalls is discarded as chips. These chips are gathered, reprocessed, and turned into new sidewalls. This method preserves the original performance qualities while significantly cutting down on waste.
120
72
105
The shape of a piste ski is designed for groomed pistes. With 72 mm underfoot, the ski changes edges quickly and can be steered precisely through the turn, with a focus on grip and control on hard snow.
A camber profile has traditional camber, with the middle section of the ski raised off the snow when unweighted. This provides a long effective edge, good grip and direct power transfer, especially on hard snow.
Offers a good balance between easy flexing and sufficient support. This keeps the ski accessible at a relaxed pace while providing more stability and control as speed and load increase.
With a radius of 14m @ 165cm, this ski offers a good balance between easy turn initiation and stability at speed. It feels predictable in short to medium-length turns and remains stable as the pace increases.
