Wood cores: The heart of every ski
At the core of every ORIGINAL+ ski is carefully selected wood. Why wood? Because it offers a balance of flexibility, stability and responsiveness. Our wood cores form the backbone of ski performance, influencing how a ski reacts to pressure and ensuring optimal control.
Our wood species:
- Ash: Known for stability and strength, ideal for demanding rides.
- Poplar: Light and flexible, perfect for a balanced and versatile performance.
- Paulownia: A particularly light wood, ideal for skis that require agility and weight saving.
Why the right type of wood is important:
- Stability: Heavier types of wood provide the necessary strength for demanding riders.
- Flexibility: Lighter types of wood allow for smoother movements and better control.
- Versatility: The combination of different types of wood ensures an optimal balance between strength, flexibility and weight.
Our wood cores are the foundation for an incomparable driving experience, adapted to your needs and your driving style.
Titanal: The Hidden Strength
Titanal, a top-quality aluminum alloy, is an essential component in many of our ski models. It gives the skis stability, improves damping and ensures a smooth and precise ride - even at high speed or on uneven terrain.
The advantages of Titanal:
- Increased stability: Titanal improves torsional rigidity and ensures precise edge guidance.
- Vibration dampening: It reduces vibrations and thus provides a smooth driving experience.
- Durability: Titanal is extremely durable, even under intensive use.
Our collaboration with leading manufacturers such as AMAG ensures that the Titanal in our skis meets the highest standards.
Steel edges: For precision and durability
The edges of our skis are made of special steel qualities that are known for their durability and precision and have proven themselves in both racing and leisure activities.
Why our steel edges are so convincing:
- Precise control: Perfect for sharp edge changes on ice and hard snow.
- Robustness: The edges resist wear from rocks and other terrain challenges.
- Racing quality: Using high-quality steel materials, we offer edges that meet even the highest demands.
Our steel edges are designed to take your skiing experience to the next level with outstanding control and durability.
