When the resort pow is thrashed by noon but the backcountry booters are prime, it's time to take a hike on the Armada ARV 116 JJ UL Skis. Combining the freestyle shape and playful personality of the original JJ with touring friendly construction that comes in 25% lighter, the ARV 116 JJ UL is the ultimate vehicle to access the deep stuff. Beveled smear tech bases loosen the tips and tails allowing the skier to effortlessly drift, slash and butter, while AR Freestyle Rocker and a near symmetrical shape ensure excellent float and control whichever way you face. Say goodbye to boring touring and pick up the pinnacle in backcountry freestyle skis.
AR Freestyle Rocker – Rockered tips and tails are combined with positve camber under foot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.
Flex Pattern (1=Soft, 10=Stiff) – Tip: 6 | Waist: 7 | Tail: 6.5
Smear Tech – A 3D beveled base in the tip and tail creates a unique feel in all snow conditions. Less likely to catch in crud, self centering in deep snow and un-catchable on take offs, Smear Tech lets you float effortlessly whether sliding forwards, backwards, left or right.
Caruba Core – Armada's lightest wood species keeps the overall weight low while retaining the power and dampness you want while skiing.
Laminate Matrix – Directional layering of fiberglass dictates flex pattern and torsional rigidity.
AR75 Sidewalls – Sidewalls provide improved edge pressure under the boot, while cap constuction in the tip and tail provides smooth turn initiation and less hookiness - 75% sidewall, 25% cap.
S7 Base – Durable and low maintenance, with a speed additive for quickness.
2.0 Impact Edge – When weight savings are needed but 1.7 cannot be used, the 2.0 Impact Edge is the go-to for maintaining ski stiffness while reducing weight.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
