Construction & Technology

Race Woodcore

The Race Woodcore provides a balanced flex with excellent energy return, helping racers accelerate out of each turn while maintaining a smooth, connected feel throughout the course.

Double Ti

Two layers of Titanal increase torsional stiffness and damping, producing strong edge hold and dependable stability during aggressive slalom skiing without sacrificing responsiveness.

Full Sandwich Sidewalls

Vertical sidewalls maximize edge contact along the full length of the ski, improving grip and making turn initiation more immediate on firm race surfaces.

Race Plate P98

The Race Plate P98 creates a strong connection between the ski and binding while allowing the ski to flex naturally, improving energy transfer and responsiveness from gate to gate.

Racing Profile

Featuring traditional camber with zero rocker in both the tip and tail, Salomon's Racing Profile maximizes effective edge length for quick edge engagement, rapid transitions, and consistent grip throughout the turn.
