Intro
A brand new model looking to position itself as a benchmark for pure freeride skis within the Dynafit collection. It has the same name as the new four-buckle boot and is under 2 kg in weight, revealing its predilection for big verticals in deep snow and laying the groundwork for a future series of freeride skis. For the moment it's available in two lengths, 180 and 188, with a fairly long turn radius that denotes its big mountain-inspired construction and exceptional float on powder.

On the snow
Dynafit was missing a truly fat ski in its collection, though it has managed to retain some of its identity in this impressively lightweight ski. The thing that immediately strikes you is the stiffness of the flex, which is at once demanding, yet incredibly stable, like two rails planted in the snow. This ski is destined for wide arcs and long, straight lines, it floats like a dream off-piste and plows through anything in its path, but doesn't help less technically adept skiers and prefers a slower, more relaxed pace. It can be quite manageable on tight turns, so long as you maintain a certain speed. When you do, it slides right back under you like nobody's business. Depending on what you're using it for, it works well paired with either a pin binding to hike up to alpine lines, or with a step-in for resort freeride. Despite its versatility, it's still a very specific ski, don't forget the underfoot width.

Lab
Very concave, not perfectly flat after nine passes in the machine. Only sanded, not waxed. Reasonably good edges 1.5 x 1.6 mm at 89.2°, base edge 1.3°. Very sharp at tip and tail, protruding sidewall, needs tuning to get the most from it.
