Armada ARV 116mm JJ UL 185 Skis

The ultimate backcountry freestyle experience

The ARV 116 JJ UL is the ultra-light version of the legendary ARV 116. The Caruba wood core makes the JJ UL 25 % lighter than the original and therefore ideal for long tours in untouched terrain. The Directional Twin shape with Smear Tech 3D profile in tip and tail lets you float effortlessly through the powder, whether forward or switch.

Riding style
A freeride/touring ski for advanced riders. This ski offers top performance for deep powder, remains stable in difficult terrain and yet playful for freestyle-oriented riding. The lightweight construction still makes it an excellent touring ski.

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 medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and fast ski response.

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 Caruba woodcore combines Armada's lightest woods for minimal weight on the ascent, while retaining the power and cushioning needed for descending the toughest terrain. The S7 base is robust and low maintenance and comes with a speed additive for more speed.

Freeskis are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new skis should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
