You'd have a better chance with the lotto than predicting snowfall at your local mountain. Whether the weather brings heavenly conditions or the season's iced from opening day to close, you'll still get your money's worth with the Salomon X-Drive 8.8 FS Skis. A light density Full Woodcore is 15% lighter; and it's combined with a Basalt Layer and X-Chassis construction for immense power and durability. The All-Terrain Rocker 2.0 is camber with rockered tips, performing equally well in softer snow as it does on groomed runs. Rocker typically reduces control to some degree, but Salomon's counteracted this with RKS technology in order to improve contact zones for masterful steering. Don't let low snowfall get you down, the Salomon X-Drive 8.8 FS Skis are just as ready for the hard pack as they are for the pow.
All-Terrain Rocker 2.0 – With a slight tip and tail rise, All Terrain Rocker 2.0 adds an extra dimension of versatility and control for all mountain skiing. Camber in the middle of the ski and full length contact guarantees strong edge grip, stability and power for hard snow and piste skiing. In addition to the excellent terrain absorption and intuitive turn initiation, the slight twin rocker also allows the ski to pivot much easier when the ski is flat, increasing control and maneuverability in all conditions.
Light Density Full Woodcore – Premium, hand selected version of Salomon's Poplar full woodcore with the same strength and performance, but 15% lighter.
Basalt Layer – Basalt fiber layer running the length of the ski provides outstanding dampening and vibration absorption.
Single TI Laminate – A single layer of Titanal reinforcement for great edge grip, efficient energy transfer and liveliness.
Integrated PTP – Elastomer pads within the construction of the ski at the ends of the X-Chassis increase smoothness of power transfer to edges for a more progressive feel, while also filtering vibrations.
X-Chassis – Carbon/Polyamide diagonal reinforcement in the middle of the ski, increases torsional rigidity of a flexed ski, and prevents twisting from forces applied in a carved turn. Dramtically improves edge grip and stability, especially when applied on lighter constructions.
RKS Rocker Stabilizer – 3D Composite fiber reinforcement in the rocker contact zones for increased precision and control on-piste
Full Sandwich Sidewalls – Full Length ABS sidewall with laminate construction creates extraordinarily smooth ski to snow contact with great terrain adaptation.
Glossy Topsheet
Honey Comb Tip – More float, Less flop. Super light honeycomb/Koroyd insert, reinforced with ABS. Less weight at the extremities with increased dampening from Koroyd dramatically increases maneuverability and ease of steering on rockered skis.
Tip Protector – Increased ski longevity that keeps skis visually attractive even after intense use.
Tail Protector
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
