Armada El Rey Skis 2012: The stability of the Fleet core wrapped with the Laminate Matrix torsion sock, the Armada El Rey Skis come out of the press ready to dominate the mountain. Light, responsive, and quick turning; this ski is great for first time park skiers, yet is a solid fixture in some of Armada’s pro’s bags. It also is the wider platform choice many skiers who prefer the feeling of landing tricks on a wider ski. Dollar for dollar this is the best way to spend your money.
Shape
Positive Camber engages the tip and tail of the ski, enhancing ease of entry and exit into and out of a turn, while maintaining solid edge hold.
Construction
Cap construction wraps the wood core with composite fiberglass layers creating a torsion box. A variable slant between the base and topsheet creates a super durable and light ski with a balanced flex.
The El Rey has a 2.5 edge, an oversized height and width and the steel heat-treated to a proprietary hardness which helps resist breaking and tearing out from rails, ledges, and other abuse.
The S7 base, Armada’s toughest base, features a gliding additive for increased speed and longevity.
The Laminate Matrix consists of three kinds of fiberglass laminates are used in combination to deliver the exact amount of flex and torsional rigidity needed in the appropriate places.
Flex
The Fleet core consists of two high density wood stringers that sit along ultralight wood creating a light core with pop and a 45 degree taper toward the tips and tails. This eases entry and exit into and out of turns.
Flex Pattern: tip - 7, waist - 8, tail - 7.5 (out of 10)
Dimensions
14m @ 157cm 117/81/107, 16m @ 164cm 119/83/109, 17.5m @ 171cm 121/85/111, 19m @ 178cm 123/87/113, 21m @ 185cm 125/89/115

    Comments about Armada El Rey Skis 2012:

    Really great smooth performance. Living in the Eastern USA, it's usually to ski in crud. These skis have such an amazing ability in these conditions, you can shred and grind and fall without worry with the most durable base and sides iv'e ever witnessed. Overall, this ski would be the perfect ski for someone starting to enter the park scene, will still not loosing his true essence all around the mountain.

    Comments about Armada El Rey Skis 2012:

    I originally was looking for a ski that was perfect for my use such as park, downhill and some powder runs. Also look for a reasonable price for me. Then I found the Armada El Rey's and I just fell in love with the skis I don't know many other skis that match the El Rey's performance and trust me i do know a lot of skis. So if your interested in what type of skiing I am, I highly recommend them...

    Tail snapped on first day of use

    Pros

    • Lightweight

    Cons

    • Broke Very Easily
    • Poor Construction

    Best Uses

    • Downhill

    Comments about Armada El Rey Skis 2012:

    If you ski in the park, dont buy these. I paid hundreds of dollars for this ski and they broke in two on the first day when i landed backseat on a 10 foot jump. Skis should not break that easily. If thats not bad enough, Armada didnt even give me a chance to get them looked at for a warranty. These are crapy skis that will not survive a single day in the park.
