Model Year 2023/24. Ski weight 980 grams for size 192cm. Side cut 44-43-44 mm. Sizes 177cm, 182cm, 187cm, 192cm & 192 Extra Stiff. We will hand-pick the best pair of skis according to your weight, ability, and height to ensure optimum performance. This is the ski that made history in 2018 when Jessie Diggins skied with them to win the Women’s Olympic Gold, and then in 2022 capturing Silver, and Bronze Medals for the USA XC Ski Team. The only ski with a full carbon construction, the Salomon S/Lab Carbon Skate ski has exceeded our expectations in their unparalleled stability and speed. Composed of thin ply carbon fabrics that utilize thinner laminates, and a stronger and lighter composite than conventional carbon fabrics, this ski delivers huge improvements in torsional rigidity, power transmission, and responsiveness. Thin, low profile tip and tail cut weight and swing weight – each ski weighs a mere 490 grams (making them the lightest on the market), allowing for improved ski return and less fatigue. What we’re really excited about is how unbelievably stable these skis are; unique construction featuring 45 degree carbon weaving gives a noticeable 20% improvement in torsion/flexion ratio, meaning you can ride the ski longer and relax more. All this plus a Nomex core, the ski features a World Cup G5 cold base and World Cup G1 grind combination that helps it excel in cold snow conditions on the racetrack. A redesigned THIN PLY carbon weaving construction keeps your stability and transmission up while also saving 20 percent material waste in the production of each ski. The Universal version features a completely new base and grind which is up to five percent faster for perfect glide in a wider range of snow conditions. XC Ski HQ Demo Rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
