Graphene is an ultra-light and ultra-strong substance which is 200 times stronger than steel.INTELLIGENCE
What you want out of a ski always depends on how and where you ride. Adaptive HEAD Intelligence Technology helps your ski perform perfectly - both relative to terrain and your individual riding mode. Intellifibers positioned at 45° in front of the binding transform mechanical impulses into electrical energy. The harder you ride, the more energy is produced. The electrical energy is led back to the Intellifibers. This causes them to stiffen up, putting more rebound and torsional stiffness into the ski and pushing the edge into the snow in hard turns. Intelligence progressively stabilizes the entire ski at high speeds.KERS
The Kinetic Energy Recovery System Technology like a turbo charger that provides additional power and acceleration by stiffening the tail of the ski in outturns. KERS Technology accumulates power and keeping it in store for the right moment. Piezoelectric fibers transform kinetic energy into electrical energy which is stored. Skis experience maximum flex at the end of a turn. At this moment the energy is released into the fibers of the tail. Timing and release are automatically controlled and coordinated. The tail of the ski then stiffens up, immediately increasing rebound for maximum acceleration at the end of the outturn.Alpine Skis Sizing Guide
In addition to other important factors like skill level and terrain type, choosing the right ski for you depends on knowing which size is best suited for your height. This simple measurement provides an approximate guide for beginners who are new to the sport and are unsure where to start when it comes to sizing. Use the following size chart to help guide you to the perfect ski.

On average, your skis should fall somewhere between your chin and forehead when held upright. There are a few additional details that play a significant role in determining which ski size is best fit for you. After consulting the size chart, be sure to consider your weight, skill level, skiing style and the type of terrain you’ll be frequenting.
Here are some reasons for sizing up or down:
Weight
- Size up if you are closer to the high end of your weight range or above average weight for your height.
- Size down if you are closer to the low end of your weight range or below average weight for your height.
Skill Level and Style
-
Size up if you are an advanced/expert skier who prefers
to be fast and aggressive in style.
- Longer skis tend to have a more stable feel.
-
Size down if you are a beginner/intermediate skier who
prefers skiing at a more leisurely pace with quick turns.
- Shorter skis offer higher overall manoeuverability.
Terrain
- Size up if you love to explore the backcountry. Most off-piste skiers lean towards longer skis.
- Size down if you prefer carving your way down a well-groomed mountain or hard pack snow.
