The 186 and 193's tips are similarly shaped with a long gradual radius that is specially designed to provide maximum flotation which, although reducing the ski's effective edge, allows for quicker maneuverability in tight spots. The tails both share a common rocker design allowing for increased floatation. The 186 tail tapers significantly to perform as a pintail allowing the tail to sink slightly deeper into the snow than the other two lengths. The 190 has a shape designed to conquer the entire resort. It has a slight twinned up tail with a bit of camber so it grips hard in all conditions.
