    Sidecuts

    121/72/106 in 175 cm
    The sidecut corresponds to the mm width of the tip, waist and tail.
    The wider the tip, the easier the turn entry.

    The narrower the waist ,the quicker the edge switching.
    The wider the waist, the more comfortable and stable the ski is in changing snow conditions

    The smaller the turn radius, the shorter the ski will turn (short turns)
    The larger the turn radius, the wider the ski will turn
    Turn radius = 16 m for a 170 cm ski

    What is a camber?

    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 the 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.
    The S/MAX 8 has a 15% front rocker and a 0% rear rocker
