We have developed technology based on the biomechanical differences between men and women.
Women skiers tend to carry their center of gravity lower and further back when compared to their male counterparts. With this difference in mind we adjusted the flat spot of the ski to allow female skiers to naturally stand directly over the skis fulcrum point.
We also have adjusted the rocker pattern to allow women to more easily apply energy to the tip for effortless turn initiation. Men have a significant portion of their mass centered in their upper body. This allows them to move weight to the tip quicker and with less movement. By adjusting the rocker to allow this to happen sooner and with less effort a lighter weight skier can turn just as efficiently.
One of the surprises in our testing was that the ski flex only had to be very slightly decreased for optimum performance. Our skis have always been on the softer side so not much flex adjustment was necessary. Slalom course performance for women. SKI LIKE A GIRL!
What we think:
D3 is definitely on to something here, because this is one smooth ski. Finishes the turn very clean with no hooking allowing for an even load through the wake. Not as fast as the RC, but improved stability in the turns. A great ski for beginners through advanced skiers. We don't really understand all the technical stuff about this being a woman's specific ski, but it seems to work.
