Formula 88

Extrem Formula 88: maximum fun on snow

The Formula 88 is built for one thing: the joy of skiing. It is playful and versatile, carries you across the piste in tight radii, through the forest or into the park, and is easy to ski thanks to its soft flex. A titanal stringer along the entire ski provides edge grip and pop without making the ski harsh.

With a waist width of 88 mm and a short radius of 11 to 12.5 metres (depending on length), it turns quickly from edge to edge. The wide tip (129–132 mm) and the rocker in tip and tail make it agile and playful. Depending on length, it weighs only 1,600 to 1,880 grams per ski.
