Shape
The ARG has a unique shape that tapers in, then out, then in and out again. Therefore, it has unique measurements: 125-135-133-134-120 (185cm)
The EST Powder Rocker is the most powder specific profile Armada offers. Fully rockered at the tip and tail, with 2mm of camber underfoot, it maximizes float in soft conditions for unprecedented control, while the small amount of positive camber engages the two widest points of the ski just enough to allow maneuverability on the hardpack.
Construction
AR50 is ABS sidewall meets cap construction – the best of both worlds. This engineering method combines the lightweight cap construction in the tip and tail with ABS sidewall underfoot, resulting in enhanced and significantly lower swing and overall weight. As the name implies, the 50/50 base is faster and more rugged than any other base Armada offers
1.7 edge height and width is deliberately smaller and the steel is heat-treated to a proprietary hardness to increase durability and decrease weight.
Flex
The Ultralight Core uses select 375kg/m3 wood stringers that have unusually high strength-to-weight ratios, Ultralight cores allow the widest skis to maintain a light yet stable feel. Bi-axial fiberglass runs in an “x” pattern down the ski to control lateral flex. Uni-directional fiberglass controls flex along the length of the ski. And tri-axial fiberglass, with fibers running in three directions, beefs up the center of the ski.
Flex Rating
Tip: 7, Waist: 8, Tail: 7.5 (1 Soft – 10 Stiff)
Binding Compatibility
Requires a binding brake width of 135mm
