Design details
EXPERIENCE
PURE PACE: Dynamic balance
Above all, the boost 580 lets you experience the feeling of fluidity in curves and enjoy developing your skiing at your own pace.
Whether you want to sideslip and then progress to driving sliding turns (skidded cut) or cut beautiful curves on cut corners (carving), you will stay in control with these skis.
SIDECUT
126/74/110 in 168 cm,
the sidecut corresponds to the width in mm of the nose, waist and tail.
The wider the tip, the more easily the ski leads into turns
The narrower skate , the quicker the switch from edge to edge.
The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable the ski in changing snow conditions.
Turn radius = 11.8 m
As for the curve radius, the shorter it is, the shorter the turn will turn (tight turns)
The larger the turn radius, the more the ski will turn on wide turns
STRUCTURE
Sandwich structure poplar wood core + fibres with ABS vertical chords for a more rhythmic relaunch and greater grip on hard snow.

What is the rocker?
When placing a ski on the ground, its points of contact are found near the tip and tail, whereas the middle of the ski (under the bindings) is slightly raised. This is the camber. The longer and higher the camber, the greater the edge grip and more responsive the ski. The lower the camber, the more forgiving the ski and the better the handling.
WHAT IS A ROCKER?
On a "rocker" ski, the tip, and sometimes the tail, comes off the ground sooner than with a cambered ski: this has the effect of moving the contact points toward the centre of the ski. The surface of the ski in contact with the snow is shortened and offers manoeuvrability and floatability in soft snow. When leaning into turns, the edge length offers more edge grip on hard snow. The longer the rocker, the better the handling of the ski.
OUR AFTER-SKI ADVICE
After a long day skiing, this is what you need to do to guarantee your ski's long life:
* Wipe your edges with a cloth at the end of the day to prevent rusting.
* Use ski ties to prevent the soles from rubbing against each other.
* Store your skis in a dry place and away from sunlight.
