The shape ensures clean, precise turns and the quality construction of wood and Ti provides the right amount of power without feeling stiff. Fast or slow, it's going to help you rack mile after mile of groomed runs.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes, all day long, from mellow blues to more technical blacks. The Fever's happy place is cruising down flowing red runs with smooth carves. It's not a problem when there is some fresh snow on top as the tip rocker and shape deal well with more than just groomed terrain and the wider waist helps with a balanced feel.Skier TypeGood piste skiers who enjoy fast and smooth skiing, taking in all runs on the mountain and clocking up the miles. Stability will be an important factor, more so than lightning fast turns.OverviewShapeThere's lots of shape on the Fever. The widest sections are right towards the tip and the tail, giving it excellent grip with a long effective edge. The lengthy nose makes for smooth turn entry and predictable steering, capable of easily switching between shapes. The tail is blunted and wide, helping it hold a turn for clean, precise carves.RockerTip rocker provides the optimum balance between terrain absorption and stability so you can carve through all piste conditions with confidence. The rocker improves turn initiation and helps with steering in tricker snow; the camber ensures grip and response.CoreA poplar woodcore offers stability, liveliness and forgiveness while ensuring good ski-to-snow contact. A single layer of Titanal reinforcement on top of the core improves the edge grip, energy transmission and response.ConstructionSemi Sandwich Sidewall is the best of both. The cap at the tip and tails reduces the swing weight, adds durability and assists with starting and completing turns due to its forgiveness. The sidewall underfoot improves the precision and the grip on firmer snow.Key Featuresedge Amplifier GSA redesigned GS-specific edge Amplifier ski-plate construction builds up the ski area around the binding, transmitting more power from the skier to the edge for improved edge grip and stability at high speeds.Crossover TipThe tip construction uses lateral TPU inserts, replacing the Titanal to act as bumpers and helping with the shock absorption. A layer of carbon powered C/FX improves the dampening properties. This new tip absorbs all terrain variations and enhances the ski's ability to cut through snow.eB tester’s comments: Ailsa (Covent Garden) An exciting ski that makes you want to ski more; perfect for someone looking to advance their skiing whilst speeding about on piste.Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)149126801091218251561268010913192516312780110142035General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced/expertTerrain Type: PisteRocker: Tip RockerRadius: ShortBase: SinteredBindings: Integrated, M11 GWDIN: 3.5 - 11Construction: Semi SidewallCore: Wood, Titanal LaminateDemo: NoSizing Description: Chin to nose height is ideal for quick responses and easy handling.
