Armada El Rey 178

Quick and durable park ski, what’s not to like?

A staple of Armada’s park line up the El Rey offers quickness and durability for astonishing value. With traditional camber and a lively sidecut the El Rey has one the shortest turning radius of Armada’s line up. The quickness is supplemented with 20% softer core and carbon tail stringers to give the ski a poppy yet forgiving feel, which give confidence in the park and around the mountain. As is standard in Armada’s park skis the El Rey features thicker edges and a more durable base, this combined with cap construction makes a truly bombproof ski. The El Rey or ‘the king’ in Spanish will take you from the park through the whole mountain out onto the streets and back.

Traditional twin tip, confortable riding forwards or switch. Has one of the shortest turning radiuses of Armada’s line.

Profile
Full camber with contact points at the tip and tails of the ski. Gives great turn initiation and edge hold to carve on to the biggest kickers

Construction

The ski soft enough to turned easily but has pop in the tail and torsional rigidity so it feels solid in the air and on features.
