Description
Salomon’s MTN 86 Carbon is for skiers who don’t want to compromise on lightweight or performance – mounted with a pin binding it has incredible grip and control for the end weight. The uphill is less strenuous thanks to low weight due to a full karuba wood core and carbon basalt reinforcement. Full sidewalls and Ti binding plate ensure precision as well as increased hard snow edge hold. This is the ski that won’t tire you on the ascent whilst allowing you to go as hard and as steep as you want on the way back down.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Weighing under 1.1kg ensures touring efficiency; the quality materials used provide alpine like performance for harder and steeper conditions. Apart from the deepest days the MTN 86 will tackle it allSkier TypeSkiers looking for light weight and performance rolled in to one. Whether you want long tours, where weight is crucial, or it’s more technical, steeper descents that you’re searching for, where grip and control are essential, the MTN 86 will have you covered.OverviewShape86mm in the waist is a good size for a ski that will spend plenty time on firm or packed snow and still needs to work well in a lot of other conditions, narrow enough so it’s still relatively quick edge-to-edge and with the width to be stable on rougher conditions and float in soft snow. The nose and tail both have a long transition to where the sidecut starts, making the ski feel smoother during when riding softer snow. This shape works well with the rocker so that the turn initiation is predictable and safe on soft or variable snow, and the turn completion is smooth and easy to switch between carving or sliding.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rock at the tip with an early rise tail and camber underfoot. This ensures smooth handling in softer snow with good turn initiation and release, with grip and control on firm conditions.CoreFull karuba wood core. Karuba is one of the lightest woods used in ski construction and still provides the stability required of a top ski.ConstructionFull Sandwich Sidewalls guarantees stability and precision, it enhances performance by providing good edge grip and smooth ski-to-snow contact.Key FeaturesCork DamplifierCork is three times more absorbing than Koroyd. Using it in the tip of the ski enables a high level of vibration absorption and dampening with even less weight.Ti Binding ReinforcementA titanal insert edge-to-edge underfoot, running throughout the ski, for maximal power and increased hard snow edging.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1641188510418139017212086106181801228510818General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRadius: LongBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, CarbonDemo: No
