Skis come out of the mold flat, then tips are bent into place, causing a natural outward pressure
Preloaded tips absorb much of a bumps load before it reaches the sled
While other plastic skis use rigid, bolted-on metal mounting saddles, the patented C & A all-plastic saddle is molded into the ski, allowing the most flex and reverse flex around
Simple 90° angles on a square keel and flat-bottom design floats on the snow instead of relying on engineered-in lift the way other skis do
Exclusive ball and cup ski tip loop assembly reduces rigidity and increases tip flexibility
Mounting kit must be purchased separately
Wearbars/ runners not included
A performance ski that can dominate both on and off of the trail
Overall width of 6.75, which gives it ample off-trail floatation and firm footing on the trail
Outboard keels help alleviate darting on the trail and provide additional floatation in deep snow
Traction scoops on both sides of the center keel keep the XCS planted on the snow and gripping in corners when other skis would lift
Integrated boot traction ridges are on both saddles for when the going gets deep and the rider needs a sturdy place to stand
The tall tail section is raised for backing in most situations
