Nordica Hot Rod 74

Fri, 17 Dec 2010 17:23:55 -0500

This ski has a double wood core, which helps to make this ski responsive, as well as durable. The Hot Rod 74 is topped off by XCT bindings, which are available in sizes five through ten. This ski differs from the identically priced Hot Rod Fuel ski in that the Hot Rod Fuel ski features slightly larger sizes, and has a Full Twin V Active construction instead of the Hot Rod 74's Energy Frame construction, so that its focus is on speed rather than handling. The Hot Rod Fuel has the i-Core rather than a double wood core, which makes it 17% lighter than previous models. Both of these models differ from the higher cost Igniter Ca model in that the Igniter Ca model has a Full Twin V Active construction with partial sidewalls, so that it is a combination of the Hot Rod 74 and Hot Rod Fuel models. There are size options available for the Nordica Hot Rod 74 all-mountain ski.

Nordica Hot Rod Igniter Ca

Fri, 17 Dec 2010 17:23:55 -0500

This design helps you to reach high speeds, as well as ski backwards with control. The 76mm waist of this ski will help you to control things when you are going fast. This ski differs from the lower cost Hot Rod 74 (which has an Energy Frame construction with partial sidewalls) and Hot Rod Fuel (which features a Full Twin V Active construction) models in that it has a Full Twin V Active construction with partial sidewalls, so that it is a combination of these two models (offering a combination of speed and handling). However, this ski lacks the slightly higher cost Hot Rod Burner model's i-Core, which makes it a more lightweight (and so faster) ski, though it lacks the Hot Rod Igniter Ca's partial sidewalls. There are size options available for the Nordica Hot Rod Igniter Ca all-mountain ski.

Volkl Unlimited AC20

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 17:33:29 -0400

The Volkl Unlimited AC20 is a mid-cost all-condition frontside ski. This ski is geared toward intermediate to advanced skiers. The Power Grip feature of the Unlimited AC20 places more material on the edges than traditional skis, a design that offers better edge grip and smoother turns. The 118-74-103 sidecut of the Unlimited AC20 will make for lots of turning action. The 3Motion binding system offers a better overall performance by giving you more flex under the feet. This ski is a step up from the lower cost Unlimited AC 3Motion model in that it has Sensorwood core (which uses vertically laminated poplar and beech wood for a more responsive feel), 11 TC bindings (instead of LT 10.0), and a layer of spring steel beneath the core (which provides additional stability). However, it lacks the higher cost Unlimited AC30's iPT Wideride bindings (which are wider, more secure, and lighter weight than other binding systems), Extended Double Grip (which gives you more height on the edges, for consistent pressure distribution), and Extended Wood Core (which is a full-length wood core sitting beneath the Extended Double Grip chambers, for a more forgiving feel). There are size options available for the Volkl Unlimited AC20 all-condition ski.

Atomic Scandium

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:06:49 -0500

The Atomic Scandium is a pair of skis from Atomic’s 2009/2010 lineup. The skis have been designed for athletic on-piste skiers looking for a smooth ride. This pair of skis have what Atomic calls an “energy module,” meaning a layer of scandium metal material designed to absorb destabilizing vibration and send it in the opposite direction. This entire process is described by the manufacturer as “U-Turn” technology, a feature that reduces the amount of effort required by the user to achieve more precise turns and better overall control on the slopes. The Atomic Scandium skis also feature a cap fiber construction, plus XTO 10 or XTL 9 binding options. A light track plate is optionally available as well.

Atomic D2 VF 82 Select

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 23:50:41 -0500

The D2 VF 82 Select are skis from Atomic’s 2009/2010 piste lineup. The “D2” is an abbreviation for double deck, where “VF” is an abbreviation for vario flex. Vario flex refers to the ski’s densolite core, which has been constructed to allow the ski to automatically adjust to the speed and style of the skier. The “82” refers to the waist width, which is naturally wider than similar 72 models in Atomic’s double deck product line. Between the individual decks lies an elastomer layer which reacts to pressure. When the skis are stressed, the elastomer stiffens, therefore increasing their stability and thus giving the rider better overall control on the slopes. This technology allows for better control at low speeds, and can assist with acceleration out of turns.

The area in front of the bindings has special fibers that conserve energy, causing the core to stiffen and providing rebound. This model has a wooden core with a carbon jacket, and is typically paired with Head Power 11 bindings. Largely, this model is intended for use on-piste but can be used off-piste if necessary. It is basically a re-issue of the 2010 model and even features the same color patterns, though the 2010 model was itself a thoroughly refitted one.
