FAQ
86 mm or narrower/wider?
86 mm balances on-piste agility with stability in variable snow. Narrower is quicker edge-to-edge; wider floats better in soft snow.
Are they demanding?
Moderately. The Ti layer rewards an active stance with composed performance, while remaining predictable for progressing skiers.
What length should I pick?
Between chin and head height for most riders: shorter for nimbleness, longer for speed stability.
