  Light

  One goal: to allow skiers to have a light and comfortable ski in all snow. This result is achieved through the combination of glass and carbon fibers, making the Freerando skis twice as stiff in torsion. The paulownia wood core allows you to fetch a few extra grams, without affecting the touch of snow and the resistance in time of the material, as could a foam core. ABS sidewalls and High Resistance steel edges help the ski to resist the impact of all winter long. A construction that allows freerandonneurs to ski safely!

  

  Half CAP

  Forces transmission is facilitated by our half cap sandwich construction, which also procures more grip on harder snows. The ABS sidewalls design on the sides make the skis live longer by increasing shock absorption and bring an extra layer against the cold.
  1 Polyamide topsheet

  • + scratch resistance
  • + UV coating

  2 ABS sidewalls

  • + highly shock-resistant

  3 Multiaxial carbon / glass fibers

  • + Gramage optimization

  4 Paulownia wood core

  • + very lightweight

  5 Thick edges

  • + highly shock-resistant

  6 Sintered base

  • + optimal glide
  • + shock-resistant

  7 Phenol sheet

  • + anti-pullout

  
• The BAKAN has a double rocker combined with a high camber. It allows you to remain at the surface in the deep conditions and pivot easily in the forest.

  5 Point Shape

  Specific shape technic that enables us to increase the manoeuvrability of the ski without extend too much the rocker (which can bring some vibrations). Feature based on the variation of the lengthwise from the widest points of the ski: we gather the widest points as close as possible of the center to make the ski playful and turn easily.

  

  Multi-radius shape

  Drawing technic that provides us to change the radius in several independents zones (tip, center, tail). it brings the radius much shorter underfoot (increased handling) whilst keeping tips and tail tolerance for the hardest snow.

  FLEX

  Stiff flex underfoot, a bit softer on the two end points for better sensations in the deep conditions.
