ARMADA TRACE 108
After breaking resort boundaries last year, our off-piste minded TRACE SERIES is back for seconds, serving up a quiver of directional backcountry skis that might have you ditching the lift line for good.
The Armada Trace 108 knows you have to get up to get down. That's why, for 20/21 we upgraded it's core to Caruba, further pushing the ski's lightweight efficiency, while ensuring chatter dampening and overall stability through strategic use of Adaptive Mesh and Ti Binding Reinforcements. Carved from backcountry pedigree with a nod to devout freeriders everywhere, the 108 weighs in light, but doesn’t leave performance to chance.
Construction Features:
- Lightweight Caruba Core: Our lightest wood species creates the best up-hill feel while retaining the power and dampness required in descending the gnarliest of terrain. This core makes no concessions in performance in its quest to be ultra-light.
- AR75 Sidewall:
- EST Freeride Rocker: Fore body rocker and extra tip-taper combine to create EST for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures these skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.
- Comp Series Base:
- 1.7 Impact Edge: 1.7 Impact Edge - Light and strong, these heat-treated edges effect the feel of the ski minimally to ensure a snappy, lightweight feel for the skis.
- Ti Binding Reinforcement:
- Adaptive Mesh: 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.
