The Salomon X-Drive 8.0 FS Skis + MXT12 Bindings is a lightweight package with an exceptional blend of power and versatility. Suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers (or athletic beginners) who prefer clean turns on groomed snow, the X-Drive 8.0 FS relies on a combination of full length ABS sidewalls, carbon / polyamide "X-Drive" torsional reinforcement, and a layer of Titanal metal in the layup to produce smooth and precise turns you'll have to experience to believe. Salomon reduces vibrating mass at the tip of the ski using a lightweight construction of Koroyd™ honeycomb, and further dampens the ski by using a layer of woven basalt in the construction. The included binding is the proven Salomon MXT 12, with the most positive step-in action in the industry and a DIN range of 4-12.
All Terrain Rocker 2.0 – With a slight tip and tail rise, All Terrain Rocker 2.0 adds an extra dimension of versatility and control for all mountain skiing. Camber in the middle of the ski and full length contact guarantees strong edge grip, stability and power for hard snow and piste skiing. In addition to the excellent terrain absorption and intuitive turn initiation, the slight twin rocker also allows the ski to pivot much easier when flat, increasing control and maneuverability in all conditions.
Light Density Wood Core – Stability and rebound with a 15% weight savings over the traditional wood core.
X-Chassis – Carbon/Polyamide diagonal reinforcement in the middle of the ski for increased torsional stiffness, edge grip, and stability
RKS Rocker Stabilizer – 3D Composite fiber reinforcement in the rocker contact zones for increased precision and control on-piste.
Single Ti Laminate – Phenomenal edge grip, efficient energy transfer, and liveliness.
Honeycomb Tip – More Float, Less Flop. Super light honeycomb/Koroyd insert, reinforced with ABS. Less weight at the extremities with increased dampening from Koroyd dramatically increases maneuverability and ease of steering on rockered skis.
Basalt Layer – Basalt fiber layer running the length of the ski provides outstanding dampening and vibration absorption.
Full Sandwich Sidewalls – Full Length ABS sidewall with laminate construction creates extraordinarily smooth ski to snow contact with great terrain adaptation.
MXT12 Bindings Included
Bindings Do Not Come Mounted to Skis – Always have a certified binding technician mount and adjust your bindings.
Tip Protector – Increased ski longevity and to keep skis visually attractive even after intense use.
