The legendary Armada ARV 116 JJ UL comes with a lightweight Caruba core for maximum energy return and pop when shredding steep lines and tight treeruns. Additional material was saved on the tip and tail to make the ski even lighter. The balanced flex profile is ideal for surfing powder while offering enough stiffness in tip and tail to excel in tight and difficult conditions. The Smear Tech 3D base bevel in tip and tail makes for easy presses and butters. Riding style An all-mountain/powder ski for advanced riders. Shape, design, profile and construction have been specially tuned to deliver the best performance in powder. While there is still enough edge grip for fast turns on hard slopes. Shape This ski comes with a Directional Twin shape, the nose is a few millimetres wider than the tail, with a central binding position. Thus the ski offers you the same skiing characteristics forward and switch. However, thanks to the slightly wider nose you get a little more uplift in fresh snow. Profile This ski comes with a classic camber under the binding and a rocker in the nose and tail areas. This keeps the ski extremely manoeuvrable in powder and gives it an enormous uplift. The camber offers you good edge grip, pop and fast power transmission. Flex The stiff flex provides precise control at high speeds with high responsiveness. Construction The AR75 sidewall construction comes with a cap construction in tip and tail and with a sidewall under the binding. The cap construction in tip and tail reduces the swing weight, while the sidewall makes the ski more robust. The Caruba core is the lightest core in the Armada range. It offers absolute performance and remains super-lightweight. The S7 base is robust and low maintenance and comes with a speed additive for more speed.
