EST Freeride Rocker – Forebody rocker and extra tip taper combine to create EST for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures these skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.

Flex (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip: 6 | Mid: 7 | Tail: 7

Caruba Core – Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required for descending in the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in its quest to be ultralight.

TI Binding Dampener – Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber, titanal, and finally more rubber works to dampen vibration that otherwise chatters into your bots and shortens your day. Ski bell to bell with extra damping provided.

Carbon Reinforcement – Specially placed carbon stringers add pop and stiffness without adding weight.

Comp Series Base – Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability on snow.

1.7 Lightweight Edge – Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel.

AR Bat Tail Self Center Tail Clip Design

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Dual Mode Toepiece – MNC (Multi-Norm Certified) for skiing, including Alpine, Grip Walk, WTR, and ISO 9523 soles. Converts to a tech toe for touring (requires a boot with tech toe fittings).
