Product Info

Hold on to your trucker hats and micro-puffs, ladies and gents, the all new Black Diamond Helio 105 Skis have finally landed. These ultra-light, wide-waisted, tip and tail rockered skis are built with the backcountry, high-alpine enthusiast in mind. A feather light balsa flax core is reinforced with a full weave of carbon and rubber integrated in the sidewalls for a damp, torsionally stiff ride in a lightweight package. Once you get your Kinco-clad paws on these skis, you'll be well on your way to record-breaking hikes, and still have enough ski to really open it up on the way down. Ski free, walk far, and glide uphill without skipping a beat on the Black Diamond Helio 105 Skis.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Early Rise Tip and TailHeavy dose of tip rocker with a less aggressive rise in the tail.

Traditional Camber UnderfootSmooth downhill performance and added purchase on the skin track.

Flex

Balanced Flex

Core

Balsa Flax Wood CoreUltralight and engineered for backcountry travel.

Laminates

Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber LayupOffers torsional stiffness and balanced flex.

Titanal Mounting PlateA high-strength metal plate is embedded underneath the composite layer to ensure that binding screw retention is never a concern. This plate also serves to increase torsional stiffness and provides a solid foundation underfoot.

Sidewalls

5 mm Beveled ABS SidewallsCreates torsional stiffness and adds grip.

Sidewall Damping SystemTo bring the dampness of a freeride ski to a lightweight backcountry construction, Black Diamond employed a layer of rubber in the sidewalls of the ski slightly behind the contact point. This innovative construction greatly reduces chatter in firmer conditions and allows BD to forgo the use of metal in the layup.

Additional Features

ABS Tail ProtectorWith integrated skin-clip tab allows for simple and quick transitions.

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
