Helio Carbon 108 Touring Skis 25/26

<p class="" data-start="455" data-end="983">The Helio Carbon 108 is designed for ski tourers who don't want to sacrifice downhill performance in the backcountry. With its center width of 108 mm, the ski offers plenty of float in deep snow, but remains suitable for touring on the ascent thanks to its lightweight carbon construction. The balanced ratio between width, rocker profile and effective edge length enables control on hard surfaces, stable turns at speed and a playful ride in tracked terrain.</p> <p class="" data-start="985" data-end="1494">The carbon lamination around the lightweight Paulownia wood core ensures high torsional rigidity at low weight, while a Titanal reinforcement in the binding area ensures solid power transmission and durability. The ABS sidewalls offer reliable edge grip, especially on hard passages or demanding traverses. Tip and tail rocker improve turn initiation and increase versatility in changing conditions - from powder slopes to firn-covered spring tours.</p> <p class="" data-start="1496" data-end="1874">With its focus on stable downhill characteristics at a reasonable weight, the Helio Carbon 108 is ideal for freeride-oriented routes, powder-focused hut approaches or alpine projects with a focus on terrain diversity. If you like to travel with a little more surface area, this is a touring ski that gives you plenty of confidence on the descent without becoming a burden on the ascent.</p>
