    In words

    Intro
    Just below its top-of-the-line cousin, it caters to the same end user: good skiers who perhaps don't feel ready for a 130 flex or who aren't quite powerful enough for one. It's a versatile piece of equipment that works as a one-boot quiver for freeride and hopping on and between groomers. Weight and ROM are suitable for mid-length tours; it's nimble and responsive for walking with or without crampons.
