FREERIDE /  TOURING

The Premium, formerly labeled as X, features a super-sturdy construction with triaxial glass in both the top and bottom layers.
I have this triaxial glass custom-made by the industry leader in composite materials, featuring a unique fiber orientation at 0° ± 45°, and it reflects my many years of development.
It’s very precise to ride, excellently transferring pressure from your foot to the edge, yet still not aggressive; it’s easy to ride, with enough flex for powder riding but solid edge grip when riding over icy sections.
If you feel like you want a super-aggressive technical board, or if you want it to be 150–200 g lighter, go for the Pro version; if you’re a heavy, powerful rider, go for the Pro version; for everything else, the Premium version is the best choice.

The Pro construction is a premium construction on steroids. It's made up of a mix of full-carbon layers and triaxial layers. Carbon gives the board an aggressive flex and superb power transfer from the rider’s legs to the edge; the flex is shorter compared to a triaxial construction, so in critical moments it provides the board with maximum control, and the board holds the turn as if on rails.
When walking uphill, because carbon has a shorter flex, the skis bend less, which distributes the pressure (the rider's weight) over a larger area of the skins.
Overall, this construction is 150–200 g lighter, depending on the length of the ski.
I’d recommend this construction to anyone who wants a super-light, aggressive, high-performance board—perhaps heavier riders or people who hike with a heavy backpack on long tours.
If you’re looking for a board for easier riding—a board for super-light powder, like in Japan—and you don’t ski more than 20 days a year, you’re probably better going for the Premium version.
This is the ultimate performance construction!
