The lively S/Lab Carbon Classic ski is designed for athletes who like to push their boundaries in all snow conditions. It features an all-new construction. Salomon engineers have dissociated the grip and glide functions of the ski into two mechanisms in order to better amplify each of them.BINDING NOT INCLUDED AS SHOWN IN PICTURE SMOOTH KICK ON FRONT PART In the propulsion phase, when the skier’s foot pressure is on the forefoot, the ski’s low-profile camber enables direct connection to the snow for subtle snow feel and smooth kick. INSTANT ACCELERATION ON BACK PART In the glide phase, when the skier’s foot pressure is on the heel, the ski’s Thin Ply carbon layer positioned strategically at the back of the ski provides instant acceleration on every stride. Salomon’s specific Thin Ply Carbon weaving is thinner, stronger and lighter than a conventional carbon fabric.
