Three years ago we entered the lightweight touring game for the first time, with the goal to redefine skiability in this segment. For 20/21 the Tracer 88 has gotten a full overhaul, pushing it's limits even further. We worked on the sidecut and slightly prolonged it's radius to further add stability and refined the core profile for a more balanced flex pattern. Add to that the combination of EST All-Mountain Rocker, Caruba Woodcore and a snow-shedding top sheet, and the following keeps growing

Features

• EST All Mtn Rocker: Rocker is paired with tapered sidecuts both tip and tail provide floatation in soft snow as well as forgiveness in turn shape. Camber underfoot maintains edge hold on the hardpack.
• Flex Pattern (1=Soft, 10=Stiff): Tip: 5.5 | Waist: 5.5 | Tail: 5.5
• Caruba Core: Armada's lightest wood species creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and dampness required in descending gnarly terrain.
• Adaptive Mesh: A variable angle weave optimizes vibration damping along the length of the ski to make the ski more damp, stable and tough without adding weight. In the ends of the ski, the weave runs nearly tip-to-tail, filtering chatter and tip bounce. Underfoot, the weave runs nearly side-to-side, filtering vibration introduced through the edges either by ice, bumps and crud. Without additional weight, Adaptive mesh provides a smoother ride.
• Titanal Binding Reinforcement: Rubber and Titanal are sandwiched together to dampen vibrations.
• 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.
• Comp Series Base: Sintered UHMW polyethylene with added carbon aids in speed and durability
• 1.7mm Impact Edge: Heat treated, built to avoid excess weight while maintaining durability.
