The ultimate all-rounder
The ARW 96 is a true all-rounder and can handle anything, no matter what terrain you're tackling or what the snow conditions are like. It owes its typical versatility to the core made of poplar and ash wood, the AR75 sidewalls and a perfectly balanced shape and profile. With the ARW 96, you can always stay calm and focused and let your style do the talking.
Riding style
All-mountain freestyle/park ski for advanced shredders. The versatile Twin Tip shape combined with a hybrid camber profile makes this ski perfect for freestyle riding in any terrain. Whether in the park, on the slopes or in the backcountry.
Shape
This ski comes with a Directional Twin shape, the nose is a few millimetres wider than the tail, with a central binding position. Thus the ski offers you the same skiing characteristics forward and switch. However, thanks to the slightly wider nose you get a little more uplift in fresh snow.
Profile
This ski comes with a classic Camber under the binding and a Rocker in the nose and tail. This profile is perfect for any terrain. Precision and pop for park and slope, good uplift in soft snow. The Rocker in the nose and tail also creates an additional, loose, tilt-free riding experience.
Flex
The medium flex is ideal for the all-mountain design of this ski. Hard enough for powerful turns but still soft enough for a playful ride.
Construction
The AR75 sidewall construction comes with a cap construction in tip and tail and with a sidewall under the binding. The cap construction in tip and tail reduces the swing weight, while the sidewall makes the ski more robust. The core is made of light poplar wood combined with stiffer ash wood stringers in a horizontal laminate. This creates an incredibly lively ski to push your riding to a new level. The S7 base is robust and low maintenance and comes with a speed additive for more speed.

Freeskis are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new skis should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
