Product Info

The Salomon X-Drive 8.0 FS Skis have been slammed with second-to-none technology, designed for years of ripping cord at mach speeds. With the All-Terrain Rocker 2.0 as the foundation, you instantly have the control and precision of camber while adding the easy turn initiation of rocker. Integrated PTP, a Single TI Laminate, a Basalt Layer, and X-Chassis carbon construction makes these bomb-proof and ready to knock out many seasons of riding everything from groomers, bumps and trees. Plus, your ride is even more luxurious with a Honey Comb Tip and tail protector to dampen chatter. Take to the mountain with unmatched power in the Salomon X-Drive 8.0 FS Skis.

Product Details

Rocker Type

All-Terrain Rocker 2.0With 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.

Core

Light Density Full WoodcorePremium, hand selected version of Salomon's Poplar full woodcore with the same strength and performance, but 15% lighter.

Laminates

Single TI LaminateA single layer of Titanal reinforcement for great edge grip, efficient energy transfer and liveliness.

Basalt LayerBasalt fiber layer running the length of the ski provides outstanding dampening and vibration absorption.

Integrated PTPElastomer 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.

RKS Rocker Stabilizer3D Composite fiber reinforcement in the rocker contact zones for increased precision and control on-piste

X-ChassisCarbon/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.

Sidewalls

Full Sandwich SidewallsFull Length ABS sidewall with laminate construction creates extraordinarily smooth ski to snow contact with great terrain adaptation.

Additional Features

Honey Comb TipMore 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 ProtectorIncreased ski longevity that keeps skis visually attractive even after intense use.

Tail Protector
