Black Diamond - Touring skis - Helio Carbon 88 2024 , in Wood - White White 170 cm

The Helio Carbon 88 is a touring ski from Black Diamond.The Helio Carbon range are skis that are made for backcountry use. The skis are similar to the Helio Recon range that we already knew, but in a lighter version to be able to take on more greater elevation. Available in several widths from 88 for long hikers on technical terrain to 115 for powder lovers in search of fresh powder. The Helio Carbon 88is the lightest ski from the Helio Carbon range with only 2400g pair (for 161cm). It is designed for skiers looking for lightness to cope with long outings that are far from the beaten trackThis ski has a Paulownia wood core reinforced with a carbon fibre structure and strategic fibreglass placement. This structure offers a progressive flex with good torsional rigidity for such a light ski. The ski also has ABS edges down the entire length of the ski. This provides cushioning and a more incisive and easy edge hold. Finally, the front rocker ensures good lift in powder, especially when making the first trail in fresh snow.As you will have understood, this is a light ski touring, ideal for long and committed outings that start early in the morning
