SalomonX-Max X12

If you have the need for speed this ski packs the punch. It has very little vibration and holds fast to the snow. It may go fast but it’s easy to control steering in soft snow and even easier on compacted snow where you have precision control thanks to its edges that love carving short turns. The grip is impressive allowing for a dynamic angle. It’s only the skier’s physical endurance that will produce any limits on this stunning product.

The ski is stable and doesn’t need length (170cm). A more expert skier or heavier skier could use a longer ski. Smooth initiation into the turns thanks to the skis grip, the edge immediately engages and the turn happens in the wink of an eye, all you need is the right fore and aft balance otherwise it could lead to under-steering. It skis in the attack position by leaning forward onto the forefoot to change the turns. The carve zone is great for piste skiing. Short turns are possible using the edges but needs skill and knowledge of speed precision.

The ski is weightless, beautifully made with a transparent finish so you can see the structure of the ski and it has metallic tip protection. And last but not least, this ski has straight sides with superb finishing. It is a great performance ski for expert skiers. This ski is a blinder and finding its limits will take some doing !
