Salomon QST 98 Skis 2024

The Salomon QST 98 Skis for 2024 stand out as a remarkable blend of cutting-edge technology and versatile performance. These skis are the perfect companions for the adventurous skier who craves exploration on all fronts. With a nimble design, they navigate effortlessly through tight tree runs and conquer the most challenging, rock-studded steeps, all while maintaining the edge grip needed for the hard-packed groomers on the return journey. The secret to their success lies in the clever integration of C/FX Carbon-Flax fiber, reducing weight without compromising on durability, and the innovative Cork Damplifier tips and tails, ensuring a silky-smooth and stable ride. These skis epitomize the perfect union of agility and control, promising unforgettable moments on the mountain for any avid skier.

Rocker Type: Freeride Rocker Profile – The ski features a 26% Tip Rocker, camber underfoot, and a 22% Tail Rocker. This combination provides exceptional performance characteristics, including increased tip lift, camber stability, and tail release for versatility in various conditions.

Core: Full Poplar Woodcore – This ski incorporates a full-length woodcore made from Poplar, extending from the tip to the tail. The woodcore design is optimized to deliver superior stability on snow, powerful rebound, maximize contact with the snow, and effectively dampen vibrations.

Laminates:

• C/FX Carbon Weave – The ski utilizes C/FX, a composite fiber layer woven from both Carbon and Flax. This fusion combines the lightweight strength of carbon with the enhanced dampening properties of flax, ensuring stability and agility.
• Cork Damplifier – Cork, known for its high absorption properties (16 times greater than Koroyd), is strategically incorporated into the tip and/or tail of the ski. This integration provides superior vibration absorption and dampening while also reducing overall weight.

Sidewalls: Double Sidewalls Technology – The ski employs a construction technique that includes a high-density, injected ABS component underfoot. In combination with full-length sidewalls, this configuration creates a robust platform underfoot, resulting in exceptional grip on hard snow surfaces.

Binding Compatibility: For optimal performance and compatibility, it is recommended to pair the ski with bindings featuring a brake width that is equal to or at most 15mm wider than the ski's waist width.
