Armada ARV 100 Skis, 179cm Multi 2024

Get ready to take your freestyle skiing game to the next level with the Armada ARV 100. This all-mountain twin tip ski is a park shredder that dominates the whole hill with ease. Perfect for stomping tricks, it's stable yet poppy, providing surprising grip on hard snow. But what sets it apart is the w3Dgewall, a unique feature that creates a stronger bond between the sidewall and core, resulting in added durability and enhanced edge grip. Whether you're hitting the park, carving up the slopes, or searching out stashes, this is the ski that will help you push boundaries and have a blast. Elevate your freestyle experience with the Armada ARV 100. Terrain Type & Ability Level Terrain Type Genuinely ready for anything, except maybe the very deepest days. It has a firm enough flex and construction that it will grip on hard snow and hold an edge whether pushing out carved turns or maxing the speed through difficult snow, but it s not so stiff that it hinders in the park and will still butter and press. Skier Type This skier will shred anywhere on the hill, from cruising high speed piste laps to throwing down big tricks in the terrain park. They are always looking for creative lines or jibs and are all about the send, so gear that's stable and durable is a must! Overview Shape The newest ARV model is great for park or powder days, it boosts stability with its new 100mm waist and features a medium-to-long radius sidecut, ideal for tricks and tracked-out bowls. Unlike some freeride options, it doesn't set the contact points too far back. This keeps the edges engaged on firm snow, reducing chatter and improving stability, while also providing more edge contact length for a planted feel at speed. Rocker AR Freestyle Rocker uses rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber under foot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground. Core Armada s Caruba Core is their lightest core but retains the power and dampness required to descend the gnarliest of terrain. It uses caruba, a wood that is lighter than poplar without losing energy or durability. This is reinforced with Titanal in a build called Articulated Titanal Banding, improving the power and, unlike regular metal sheets, doesn t over-stiffen the ski. Construction The w3Dgewall is a radical ski design, featuring a 3D molded sidewall with an angled connection to the wood core for increased strength. This innovative construction enhances durability, reduces weight, and improves edge grip, making it a game-changer in ski design. Key Features W3dgewall The w3Dgewall represents a revolutionary approach to ski design. The team of engineers embarked on a mission to conceive a unique concept aimed at crafting the most robust and high-performing construction in Armada's history. The w3Dgewall is characterized by its 3D molded, injected sidewall, strategically angled at its junction with the wood core. This ingenious design results in a mechanical bond within the ski mould during production, ensuring a more resilient and consistent connection between the sidewall and core. By incorporating additional material in critical areas to enhance durability and introducing a three-dimensional taper in the tip and tail, the w3Dgewall produces skis capable of withstanding increased abuse while delivering superior edge grip at reduced weights. S7 Base The perfect blend of durability and speed. 2.5 Impact Edge Oversized and specially heat treated, this edge is built to resist impact damage in the most demanding situations. EB tester’s comments: Mark (Braehead) This thing is an all-mountain jib beast. Rails turns like a piste ski; slashes, presses, butters, everything. My kinda ski through and through.
