The Blaze 86 W expands on what the other models are known for: lightness, ease and agility. Leaving the dampening element of titanal out of the construction not only makes for a slightly more lively ride, it also saves weight and eliminates the need for plastic inserts (a small, but positive environmental step forward). The Blaze 86 W is designed for fast, shorter turns, but the three different radii that the sidecut supports can handle the most ambitious terrain and demands. The shock-absorbing Suspension Tip and Tail ensure not only resistance, but also provide great lift, protecting and assisting the ski off-piste.
