Armada Arv 116mm JJ 185 2023 Ski

The ideal concept of a playful powder ski

The legendary Armada ARV 116 JJ continues to write itself into the skiing history books. It comes with a poplar-ash wood core for maximum energy return and pop when shredding steep lines and tight treeruns. The balanced flex profile is ideal for surfing powder while offering enough stiffness in tip and tail to excel in tight and difficult conditions. The Smear Tech 3D base bevel in tip and tail makes for easy presses and butters.

Riding style
A freestyle/powder ski for advanced riders. Shape, design, profile and construction have been specially tuned to deliver the best performance in powder. At the same time it is still playful enough for freestyle riding in the backcountry, no matter if high cliffs, kickers and switch landings in powder.

Shape
This ski comes with a Directional Twin shape, the nose is a few millimetres wider than the tail, with a central binding position. Thus the ski offers you the same skiing characteristics forward and switch. However, thanks to the slightly wider nose you get a little more uplift in fresh snow.

Profile
This ski comes with a classic camber under the binding and a rocker in the nose and tail areas. This keeps the ski extremely manoeuvrable in powder and gives it an enormous uplift. The camber offers you good edge grip, pop and fast power transmission.

Flex
The stiff flex provides precise control at high speeds with high responsiveness.

Construction
The AR75 sidewall construction comes with a cap construction in tip and tail and with a sidewall under the binding. The cap construction in tip and tail reduces the swing weight, while the sidewall makes the ski more robust. The core is made of light poplar wood combined with stiffer ash wood stringers in a horizontal laminate. This creates an incredibly lively ski to push your riding to a new level. The S7 base is robust and low maintenance and comes with a speed additive for more speed.

Ski er som regel leveret klar til brug med en vokset base og slebede kanter. Men denne såkaldte fabriksklargøring er ikke særlig holdbar og dine nye ski bør vokses efter et par dage og vedligholdes på regelmæssig basis.
