Helio Carbon 88 Touring Skis 25/26

<p class="" data-start="404" data-end="921">The Helio Carbon 88 is an efficient touring ski for ambitious ski mountaineers who value low weight, reliable performance and stability in technical terrain. With a center width of 88 mm, it is designed for quick ascents and controlled descents - whether on long ascents, steep gullies or non-slip spring snow. The balanced ratio between width, edge contact and flex curve ensures precise handling even in changing conditions.</p> <p class="" data-start="923" data-end="1392">The core is made from paulownia wood, wrapped in a carbon fiber construction that gives the ski torsional rigidity and keeps the weight low. The revised ABS sidewall increases edge grip on hard surfaces, while the rocker profile in the tip and tail ensures excellent turn initiation and floatation in soft snow. The Titanal plate in the binding area increases stability during power transmission - even with light pin bindings.</p> <p class="" data-start="1394" data-end="1792">With its clear focus on efficiency, lightweight construction and control, the Helio Carbon 88 is ideal for classic ski touring in alpine terrain. It is aimed at touring skiers who prefer large vertical meters, long distances or technically demanding terrain - with a ski that stays light on the foot but provides reliable feedback on the descent. A cleverly designed tool for serious ski touring.</p>
