Dynastar Legend X96 Skis - Men's: Equal parts power and playfulness, the all-new LEGEND X96 delivers freeride-inspired, all-terrain performance wherever the snow takes you. Our newest Powerdrive Free construction unleashes smooth dynamic power, playful energy, and ground-breaking grip for the most responsive ski control. A progressive rocker profile and five-point sidecut supply the natural versatility and float, while titanal reinforcement delivers the additional power to charge through any snow conditions. ROCKER TIP & TAIL ROCKER SIDECUTS PROFILE POWERDRIVE CONSTRUCTION SANDWICH TAIL DIMENSION 123MM WAIST WIDTH 96MM TIP WIDTH 132MM RADIUS 17M TIP and TAIL ROCKER with traditional camber underfoot eases turn initiation, adding playful maneuverability and float while retaining energy, shock-absorption, and edge grip for confident performance across all terrain and snow conditions. PAULOWNIA WOOD CORES reduce ski weight by 25%. Dynastar combines this lightweight wood core with fiber laminates developed by the Race Department, guaranteeing powerful stability and lightweight performance. SANDWICH constructions feature a layering of core materials (wood, fiberglass, metal, etc) and full-length vertical sidewalls to deliver optimized edge grip, precision, balance, and power. ABS sidewalls drive energy more efficiently to the edge of the ski for increased edge grip and dynamic ski control. Featuring a progressive five-point sidecut, moderate tip and tail rocker, and traditional camber underfoot, our ALL MOUNTAIN PROFILE combines on-trail power and precision with playful off-trail versatility. *2018 Backcountry Magainze Editors Choice* BOTTOM LINE: "A DO-IT-ALL OPTION THAT SLICES CRUD AS WELL AS IT FLOATS." *Realskiers.com Recommended 2018* The signature feature of the Legend X 96 is called Powerdrive, a multilayer sidewall that uses TPU, Paulownia and ABS in a vertical sandwich. See more Dynastar Skis with powder drive technology. The reinforced sidewall remains separate from the laminates in the central core, which can move more easily in relationship to one another. This allows the forebody to follow terrain rather than banging off of it, creating a sense of connection that is, in the words of Sturtevant's of Sun Valley's Peter Nestor, "predictable, comfortable and confidence inspiring."
