Salomon S/Max 12

FIRST

The Salomon S / Max 12 are super-performant skis whose main characteristics are both an extremely fluid curve (thanks to the flex designer!) and a powerful, reliable grip.

 

These are great skis that you can really enjoy. Skis with power, yet the Solomon S / Max 12 have great handleability. You can ski at lower speeds easily and skid your turns. With upright angulation neither the tips or tails get in the way, skidding turns are a breeze.

 

Short turns require a little more work for the skier who wants to vary the directional effects: going from carving to skidding turns.

 

But, as soon as you carve the Salomon S / Max 12, they accompany the skier in beautiful, very fluid turns (thanks to the person who designed the flex!). The flex is homogenous: no surprises or pressure points. They ride easily without the need for technical skills. They may even correct some placement errors.

 

The tips never play tricks, they initiate the turns with ease. We loved the beautiful metal tips, and overall excellent quality of the skis.

 

One of the major pluses of these Salomon S / Max 12 is their powerful grip that remains effective on hard, artificial snow. You can give him them angle, push the limits: they don’t budge or slip out. However, be careful not to overdo it when changing radius, which they will do but only up to a point.

 

 

The Salomon S/Max 12 are excellent skis less demanding than the reference, the Salomon S / Max Blast (https://www.test4outside.com/product/salomon-s-max-blast/). The 12 is more accessible, lighter, cheaper, they require less precision and carving control. Their tips are less obvious but this “softened” version is exciting in most ski conditions. An excellent ski that also wins, the FIRST Award in its category.
