ROCKER PROFILE

a MaTTeR of foRM Up until now, the character of a ski has been influenced by three main factors: sidecut, waist width and the flex of the ski. Now, a new distinguishing characteristic is becoming more and more influential: the ski’s profile when viewed from the side. In a ski bearing no weight, the profile describes the points of contact with the surface, the preloaded tension between these points, and the profile in front of and behind them. In action this plays a decisive role in determining riding characteristics, and thus the conditions for which a ski is best suited.

The new D2 Vario Cut is the world’s first ski with self-adapting radius and flex. It reacts to the skier’s impulses by automatically adapting its radius and by providing the optimum dynamics for each individual skiing situation. Additionally, two elastomer-mounted glide connections between the upper and lower deck make for optimum shock absorption. All this allows the ski to glide and turn with special ease—making its rider a better skier.

The “Women Flex Zones“ specially developed for ladies ensure perfect control and a smooth ride. The flex builds progressively from the center to the tip and the tail of the skis. This makes the skis gradually softer the further the flex zones reach into the shovel and tail. The skis deliver a perfect grip under the binding, boast outstanding turning compliancy and ensure stable tracking even at high speeds. This helps to hone the skiing style of skiers of all levels.

The “V-Shape Body“ of our ladies’ ski models promises comfortable handling of the skis. It ensures easy and controlled turns, while the narrow tail allows for easy finishing of turns. The “V-Shape Body“ is the ideal ski geometry for precisely carved or relaxedly drifted turns.

The “Heel Lift“ technology provides a lifted stand in the heel section which helps to relieve pressure from the back and spine. It was developed because women have anatomically a different center of gravity. At the same time it affords a more natural posture on the skis. This ensures ideal control at all speeds for extended skiing fun without running out of steam too fast.

In the D2 Vario Flex, the elastomer-mounted connection between the upper and the lower deck influences the way the ski flexes according to current skiing speed. At low speeds, the ski is extremely easy to control. The higher the speed, the more dynamically the ski reacts. Its flex builds up progressively and uses the desired rebound to support acceleration out of turns.

The douBledeck eFFecT: SmooTher Glide, eaSier TurNS

up until now, every ski has been a compromise: nippy or forgiving, flexible at low speeds or smooth at high speeds. The D2 Doubledeck succeeds in uniting these apparent opposites.

The reason is its unique construction, taken from two different skis: the relatively soft lower deck—the Adapter Deck—mutes vibrations, guarantees optimum edge-grip and makes for a perfectly smooth ride. The stabilizing upper deck—the Control Deck—acts like a steering module, receiving the skier’s impulses and transmitting these directly to the lower deck.
