You are looking for a feeling like a World Cup racer, pure precision, power and reliability in every single turn, than the new Racetiger GS MASTER will fulfill your dreams! Equipped with a world cup ash woodcore, phenol sidewalls, tailored carbon tips, two layers of full Titanal and a carbon band he got a much needed upgrade in terms of sportiness, dynamic and smoothness and is equipped with the best materials and technologies that ski construction currently has to offer.
A highlight is the combined use from phenol sidewalls and the carbon band in a high complex construction. The phenol sidewall give the ski an unpresedented smoothness and edge precision. The carbon band from tip to tail in the center of the ski helps in the other direction and make the ski more lively and dynamicly. This material combination is responsible what pure calmness and highest dynamic isn`t longer a contradiction.
Additionally to the Carbon Band this ski is for sure equipped with our taylored carbon tips. A new positioning and length dimension of the carbon fibers in the tip gives the ski an even more direct tip answer and a faster bending and energy build up process in the first part of the ski.
This allows the world cup ash woodcore to demonstrate even more of its qualities as energy store and dynamic booster. As the ski bends at the entrance to the curve, the fibers stretch, absorb the tension energy and store it. At the exit of the curve, this collected energy is then released in a controlled manner, giving the ski enormous dynamics.
This highly sporty character will be accessible for not world cup racer through a commercial sidecut with a radius from 17,5m at length 178cm this skis. Perfectly rounded off by 3D Glass, two full layers of Titanal and our updated Marker world cup interface 10mm plate this ski will fulfill the dreams to be closer by a world cup racer.

Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height.
