The E/Flex 8 QT is new for the 2012-2013 season. The E/Flex 8 takes the qualities of the E/Flex 6, which boasts early-rise rocker for easy handling and superb turn initiation, and throws in PST sidewall construction and express technology. Combined with the fiberglass reinforced dual-wood core, this becomes the ultimate intermediate all mountain carving ski.
Skier Style + AbilityIntermediate level all-mountain carving ski. This ski has more sidecut than the E/Flex 6 for more aggressive turns and stronger edge hold when making those turns.
Shape + FlexEarly-rise rocker profile provides moderate rocker in the tip and tail resulting in a shorter effective edge length of the ski. This enables the skier to make turns with less effort. Stiffer medium flex ski.
Construction + CorePartial Sidewall Technology combines cap construction for lightweight and smooth turning and sidewall construction for power performance with edge grip under foot; Making these skis powerfull when needed and playfull when wanted. Dual woodcore features two simetrical wooden stringers placed on outer edges of the ski core. Such construction enables improved power transmission and edge hold while still keeping ski easy to handle in various snow conditions. Positioned either above or below the ski core, the Fibreglass reinforcement optimizes the flex pattern and enhances torsional stiffness.
