Product Details

The Race Type MT takes the narrow frontside ski in a more purposeful direction. Its full-camber profile, 67 mm waist and 15 m radius give the design a clear preference for committed, accurate skiing, while the 173 cm length sits at the centre of a three-size range. This is not a softened piste ski. Full-length Titanal, a phenol sidewall and a Trueblend Race woodcore create a substantial platform for skiers who want their inputs to matter.

The core’s three density zones place a harder flex beneath the centre, medium zones around the binding, and softer material toward the tip and tail. That arrangement gives the ski a deliberate flex pattern rather than a uniform plank-like feel. A World Cup running base, precision edge geometry and dual-Titanal tip construction round out the race-derived package. It is a specialist choice for experienced skiers who value control and precision over easygoing manners.
