DOWN COUNTDOWN CARBON 104

FREERIDE ROCKER

The ultimate in versatility and smoothness, our freeride rocker profile combines camber underfoot with a low rise, elliptical tip and a relatively flat tail. The underfoot camber gives instant edge grip in tricky conditions and the smooth transition into the tip and tail rocker lets you engage the full effective edge on demand for smooth carving. The low rise, elliptical tip provides full snow contact, punches through uneven snow with minimal deflection and keeps you on top of even the deepest, fluffiest powder.

ON-SNOW SUPERPOWERS

Having a Freeride World Tour athletes on our ambassador team has it's perks. We've given Mathys Fornasier and Mickaël Bimboes access to our garage of every CD model ever existed. We insisted he should try'em all & give us pointers on what he was stoked about in each.

His shopping list kinda looked like this: strong enough to charge, loose enough to skid and agile enough to spin and stomp. So, here's what our lab did:

• The camber line: shortened. Rocker increased. Result? A super fun whip.
• The layup: locked. Fiberglass, carbon, flax fibers, plus titanal underfoot for bombproof binding support.
• The weight: finally light enough to feel playful and maneuverable in the air.
• The damping: flax worked its magic – way smoother across chop and landings.
• The core profile: in with the trapezoid. Fine-tuned to balance torsional vs. bending stiffness. Tiny adjustments, but they make the ski feel smear-optimized everywhere from pow to crud.
  
• The local power: 50K carbon from SGL Sigratex, a near and dear neighbour to our manufacturing facitlity!
• MADE IN AUSTRIA
